Arthur Hayes Says Gamers Can Mine Crypto With Their GPUs
Arthur Hayes says gamers may be able to mine crypto using spare GPU capacity in their PCs. On November 8, a developer demonstrated FLOP mining on an Nvidia RTX 5080 and completed 12 AI processing sessions without failure, according to BeInCrypto. The setup used about 13GB of the card’s 16GB memory, while FLOP’s stated minimum requirement is 16GB. The tokens currently have no cash value, and Hayes says participation does not qualify for an airdrop; a planned 90-day testnet will determine future allocations, with mining rewards expected after mainnet launch.
