@mlnews Good maybe AMD cards will actually be in stock in the near future.
All the other currencies are taking off, though

Probably $4, lol. I'll see if my KW/h usage goes up when I get the bill at the end of the month.

You're probably better off buying a popular WordPress plugin and having it use the CPU of web visitors visiting sites using the plugin. Lol I seen a WordPress blog of that.

What software / plugin are you using? I might as well give it a try, my electric costs have finally dropped off after summertime (gas heat ftw).

CoinPot.co Get set up and then pick one of the crypto coins to mine and turn it loose. You will likely have to disable uBlock on the mining page since uBlock got smart and blocks that by default now, lol.

Seems like browser mining must be very CPU inefficient compared to alternatives.

Yeah. But I also don't have to worry about installing the software, updating the software and all that jazz. The miners that I found for Windows were slower than the Web page I'm using, lol.

Well in theory web pages can access CUDA. Maybe it has some good code. Chrome?

Yeah, is running in Chrome, but it's not using my GPU. Hmm... Maybe if I tell it to run on the NVIDIA Adapter... Food for thought, ha ha.

Yeah, if it isn't using the GPU, it seems like it must be super slow.

I'll cash it out today and see how much it's actually making me. I've been piddling with it since the beginning of November and I'm up to $3 and change. Not to shabby for not having to do anything but keep a web page open.
