It feels like wasted power. You could at least be earning something off it. The creator can either take a cut if it’s free or lump sum for paid.
I’ve seen a few idle games take up a lot CPU resources, not necessarily GPU so it had me wondering. Why not make it mine?
If the idle game is running at 100% there is no power left to also crypto mine. If the idle game runs at 10% you could use 90% for mining but then you would pay for 100% energy usage instead of 10%. You’d probably end up paying more than you’d mine.
