Bitcoin and the complexity of perception

Question

data mining

I've been doing bitcoin for a year. Reading all possible posts on Habré and other third-party resources. I wonder how many people really understand the system, and how many have good power (in the form of video cards) but do not want to deal with the system and its programs. What if people who do not want to delve into the details are offered the option of how to download the utility and simply press the start button when the computer (that is, the video card) is idle.
Thinking about this problem, the idea was born to make a group on Steam. Why on Steam, you ask, I will answer, as a rule, gamers have good video cards. Thus, they can connect their power to mining.
How do you like this idea? Possessing power, but going into details, would you like to help the system as a whole?
Well, if you like to count other people's money, I can assure you that everything will go to the needs of research (data compression theory) and support of game servers.

Answer 1

you are a year late. Now the use of video cards corny does not pay for electricity.

in mind that this is not exactly everything, because. everything is constantly replayed, the difficulty jumps, the course goes up and down.

Answer 3

No, not at all. The rate is moving in waves, now it is rising again, already at the current rate, there is a plus in exhaust.
To the author - I understand perfectly. I myself wrote to several gaming forums with the same ideas, so I threw a bait, to see the reaction. Almost everywhere I was immediately banned, in the comments - for a scam =) I tracked the transitions to the resources mentioned in the posts with a metric, there were practically no transitions, or for 10 seconds, i.e. people did not even look what it was and what it was for.
So I'm sitting, scratching my head over mistakes, making insidious plans to cause irreparable benefits to humanity further)

Answer 4

Only if I was sure that it would pay off the electricity and the monthly income from my normal video card would be at least $5. I would just not be interested. Not even passion.

Answer 5

It makes no sense to mine bitcoins on a video card, but you can mine other cryptocurrencies.
