I believe that. But a day of ordinary CPU must have some value, however small, and I'm curious what it is.

- JPLeRouzic 9y agoCheck the cost of a basic cloud/saas product. Otherwise an accountant would tell you it is something like the cost of ownership: Let say very roughly $0.5 per cpu/per day.
- mattbillenstein 9y agoNot true -- it has a definite cost, power. Plenty of perfectly fine working rackmount servers are replaced every year because for their power/space footprint you can put something that's about to do 50% more work.
- anonfunction 9y agoThere are too many variables at play, what CPU, what crypto, etc... Why don't you run a miner on your computer and find out. If you're paying for your energy and equipment it'll most likely be a negative in terms of profit but would be a fun experiment and espouse a hacker ethos.
