Right, but is he actually doing it? Or are you just supposing again that someone might?
> Have you eliminated...
I don't need to, that's not how evidence works. You're claiming this thing happens, it's up to you to prove that. Unless you can find any actual evidence of people still mining BTC on a GPU at this point, you're just grasping at straws to try and justify your position.
The original point was that bitcoin mining is not done on GPUs any more. This is true in the sense the original post was meant, because the industry moved on years ago and mining on GPUS is now entirely unproductive. It's also true philosophically - if you don't produce anything, can you really be said to be 'mining' anyway?
And even if you show that one person or a few people are still doing it "for fun", it doesn't really contradict or disprove the post you replied to.
- geerlingguy 4y agoI won't touch crypto with a 100 foot pole, I've said it many times. So many people ask me about this or that coin, about helium, about new protocols and decentralized Internets... Yeah, no. Waiting for this massive crypto bubble to finally deflate so I can see if there's anything worth caring about in the mess that'll be left over.
