You cannot have ever been in a room doing mining.
Your phone is highly specialized and efficient. Coin mining is a noise parade and heat monstrosity that grows up to the limit of how much power it can draw at affordable rates.
I have run billion dollar datacenters. They are dwarfed by small mining operations in their heat production and power consumption.
- ric2b 6y agoI don't understand how what you said is in disagreement with my claims. Yes, miners try to use their machines as much as possible, like any other business, but they still try to it as efficiently as they can. Undervolting chips to increase efficiency is quite common, for example. And my phone is not very specialized at all, when compared to a mining ASIC.
