- choppaface 7y agoCrypto mining would provide a more stable cashflow and has a more limited downside versus theft. I see your point, given how successful the thieves have been. But I just wonder about the value of hydro power.
- FDSGSG 7y agoHydro power is nice and all, but monetizing that requires strictly different resources than monetizing hackers. Perhaps hydro power can be valuable, but that will not make hacking any less valuable.
