That's an interesting concept
Why doesn't Nvidia use the cards themselves to mine? Not for the attack but for the profit?
Each card is obviously cheaper to produce than they are selling it for. Why not maximize all the profit?
- dehrmann 5y agoJust guessing, but there's probably more risk to running a mining operation than miners realize, and Nvidia doesn't want that risk. There are also PR issues with energy use. There's enough money in selling pickaxes.
- XorNot 5y agoThis is exactly it. NVIDIA are also not building more factories to meet the demand because they are (correctly) assessing that a bigger risk for them is demand collapse and a glut of used hardware.
