Why mine Bitcoins when you can use Computing Power for Hedging? (crowdprocess.com)

Nobody mines with CPUs/GPUs any more. If you do, you'll lose money on electricity.

That's pretty interesting, though. I think. Brb, looking up terminology.


Yup, still tons (really tons) of people ask us why we mine bitcoins.


What does the computer get out of it though. If I were to mine BTC, I get BTC out of it, even if it cost me more in electricity to do so.

If I run this what do I get out of it? I see what you get out of it. You get to use my computing power to help you make "safe" money.


That is not the title of the article, it is nothing to do with Bitcoins.


The title has everything to do with it, it's about a better alternative to mine bitcoins


You can calculate the minimum volatility portfolio directly with linear algebra, idiot. It's called 'efficient frontier'.


not what we're trying to do
