Lost my 1 BTC the day before 2FA was offered as a feature on MtGox All was mined by my GPU at the time, took me a full month Mark Kapeles still pretends he's innocent
He was also at the forefront of the movement that started mining with GPU's. He's probably still loaded with BTC today
Parallax uses Ethash for PoW — there’s a CPU miner bundled in, and GPU mining will be totally viable from day one (lots of existing ETH PoW miners should work fine). The client is already implemented, and right now we’re focused on building traction so as many people as possible can run and mine at launch. Launch date + source code drop will be announced on @prlxchain. The client itself is based on geth, but with Bitcoin’s consensus rules integrated.
In the early days of Bitcoin, running a node and mining were synonymous, but that hadn't been true for a very long time. You can mine without a node. Running a node today is useful related to mining only in the fact that you can use it to build your own block templates and use it to broadcast a PoW to the network if one were to be found. There is no "switch" on a node to begin hashing with it. Hashrate significant enough to use for mining Bitcoin would only come from a source utilizing ASICs, not from a CPU or GPU source.
I read the github but still have a few questions When approximately is the launch date ? Will GPU mining be feasible early on ? Does the parallax client resemble Bitcoin Core ?
Dude. Regular folks with regular money talk to financial advisers too. He'll probably tell you to stick it all in an SP500 index fund and wait til you are 65 and live large when you are old. What I'll tell you to do is to cash out $10k. Stick 5 in savings for future emergencies/opportunities. And, have fun with 5. Get some nice clothes. Take a date to a fancy restaurant. Get a nice bottle of whisky. Upgrade your GPU. For the rest: Move it over to BTC and **put in a trailing stop loss.** Everyone expects a run up at at least $150K by then end of the year followed by a bear market through 2026 starting maybe as early as January. The market's being weird this cycle. So, who knows what'll happen. But, good news is the second-likely prediction is a slow steady climb straight through to mid 2026. In other news: We might be heading into DotComBubble 2.0. So, the SP500 is getting scary. And, we're likely running into runaway inflation. So, stock and real estate prices will go way up even though the real value won't change much because it's really just the dollar going down. So, if you want to get out of crypto, consider relatively-boring high-yield bonds.
These allies and enemies could just ignore it. They don't have to do anything. "America is buying these abandonware 2010 GPU Stress test tokens that do nothing, what do we do?"
> if the hash rate goes up, that mean more miners or more powerful mining hardware, right? Yep > And do we know what share of total global computing power Bitcoin mining represents? It's not really comparable to "global computing power", as there is nothing being computed in bitcoin mining. It's more like a super dumb (but super efficient) guessing hardware running, it's not like your general CPU or GPU hardware. You can't do anything else with a bitcoin mining chip (ASIC) except mining bitcoin.
Hashrate is level of computational power that asics are putting out, but it does not mean the network is more secure. The biggest threat to bitcoin outside of Sha256 being broken is most likely a 51% attack. There have been numerous times in bitcoin's history when the network was actually less secure and less decentralized despite hash rate continuously going up. When Laszo started GPU mining, hashrate jumped, but he had a good percentage of the network. If he had wanted to, he could have 51% attacked the network. We also saw this from the move to FPGAs and from FPGA's to asics. hashrate skyrocketed, but the network was becoming more centralized and more open to threats/pressure from a small group of miners who had connections to the chip manufacturers in China. I'm being a bit pedantic but I see this comment 100x a day and it's just not correct. I think we're mostly past the days where we will see the large increases in hashrate in a such a small period of time, but there's always the chance we do.
Mustve been fresh 2011 before the pump that took place around april/may of that year. BTC had nice moves back then but no way the GPU was that much. Because at 3 dollars a pop for 15k coins thats a 45k gpu. Which is insane by todays standards let alone 2011.
So he traded $40,000 worth of btc for a GPU?
Yes. Decentralization is great. But a Mac mining is nothing. Not even a rounding error, compared to the current network hash rate. Bitcoin network (Sept 2025): ~600 EH/s 600 EH/s = 600,000,000,000,000,000,000 hashes/s (6 × 10^20) High-end Mac (CPU/GPU mining): ~5 MH/s 5 MH/s = 5,000,000 hashes/s (5 × 10^6) Difference: (6 × 10^20) ÷ (5 × 10^6) = 1.2 × 10^14 = The Bitcoin network is about 120,000,000,000,000 times faster than a Mac. Effectively 0.
How much power is 32 TH/s? Can someone put it in GPU terms or something?
From my understanding that's not what quantum computing is for or useful for. You can't just load up a miner app and let it run. It's not like comparing it to being a faster CPU/GPU/ASIC. It's purpose and use is for entirely different use cases. Just thinking out loud here, but it could be that mining pools are a bigger threat due to solo miners no longer being able to compete. The more solo miners there are, the more decentralized it is and the more difficult it is to shut the network down. The more centralized pools become, say eventually 10, the easier it gets to shut it down such as was done with the Pirate Bay when they were moving servers all over the place.
100% - The last thing I want is a lambo or anything in that realm of showoff wealth. What the fuck is going on with people wearing watches? My "big" expense this year was upgrading my home built PC - I finally got a decent GPU and a nice monitor. Spent around $1800 getting fancy. Not because I'm a cheapskate, not because I'm afraid to spend my money or I don't have any or I think I'll lose it or any other weird fear. I just didn't have anything I cared to spend the money on...and then I did...so I did... and now I'm back to not spending much. I think that a lot of people think that they want a lot of "stuff" (for whatever reason). Then you see people with a lot of stuff (big house etc...) and you know what... it looks like work. Keeping it clean. Keeping it safe. That sounds like work - and my ass does not want to work!
I was 9 years old at the time Bitcoin launched so I don't blame myself but my dad who was so into the internet, he'd know all ways to hack and torrent stuff and everything like that. I stumbled upon some bitcoin sites as far as I remember because I used to have a laptop and my mom would restrict my internet access because she wanted me to study and make something out of my life. Damn if I'd have known I would've mined a lot on my laptop and have around 100-1k BTC in that time because mining difficulty was not that hard. I listened to my mom & studied anyways but that's just only giving me a normal job with a salary that just turns me off just hearing it. Again I don't blame myself because I was just 9-11 years old. Back in 2016 I was really in on the gaming scene & people would curse miners for the skyrocketing GPU prices & thought yeah I don't wanna be a guy who is cursed by other people so again I never got in on the BTC scene. My at the time older than me friend also said "Bitcoin is dead, miners are quitting and it'll never rise again" in 2016. Still have his messages saved and my Facebook group occasionally make fun of him and curse him because we trusted him with a lot of info back then and, AGAIN I never mined or got some because he said so.
Essentially, yes. That is the level of competition with just BTC mining these days, and it doesn't even consider the mining efforts placed into other tokens. It also explains why GPU mining (for BTC) has been pointless for quite awhile now. (Unless you're lottery mining.) It just takes far too much computing power to be competitive.
Decentralized AI has potential, but most current projects are still unproven. Running LLMs at scale is massively resource-heavy, so it’s unclear if blockchain + GPU networks can match centralized players. Still, if even a fraction of compute or data ownership can be decentralized, it could carve out a niche beyond pure hype
That's not a tragic bitcoin story. The man that bought the two pizzas was the man that invented GPU mining and that was the first time someone purchased something with bitcoin. It's an awesome story.
Probably still some GPU mined coins that *might* be barely profitable. But don't expect much.
Props for the persistence 🙌 You’re on the right track — getting the `wallet.aes.json`, narrowing down base passwords, and moving to Hashcat is exactly what most successful recoveries look like. From experience, huge wordlists aren’t as effective as **rules/masks** in Hashcat. Since you know your dad’s habits, focus on patterns (capitalization, numbers at the end, symbols, leetspeak) instead of brute forcing millions of random combos. It’s definitely realistic to crack yourself — GPU + smart rules > blind brute force. You’ve got a real shot here. Keep at it, and please share updates, they’ll help others too. 🙏 – CryptoByShivank
you can rent some mega GPU power from Google cloud or huggingface. I 10x'd the output of my good GPU for only a few bucks an hour. allows you to get way more liberal with your hashcat base wordlists and rules. knowing password length max, if special characters, numbers were used, if so where in the password vastly reduces the variations. if English words and minimal special chars/numbers used, you can borderline brute force a not so long password if you let it sit for a few weeks. godspeed. I hope you get a commission.
I disagree strongly on this advice. You can set up virtual private clouds where even the cloud provider doesn't have access. That and, if everything else is otherwise set up properly, aka Done Right, its no less secure that running locally on your gaming PC GPU. But h100 rented by the minute is MUCH much faster (6-10x faster) and MUCH more price efficient especially considering his small password list of 1MM. An H100 is currently about $7 an hour from AWS but available from many less premium cloud providers for cheaper.
When CRO first came out it was part of their rewards program. The old program that people like me took advantage of. The coin used to be a reward for debit card purchases. They would give us 5-10% in cash back if we used the debit master card for purchases. I was one of the first 100. I think the value was under a penny when I started using the card. I would purchase all my GPU’s and get 5% cash back in CRO @ .01. So every $1k purchased you got 5k CRO. This was before the price exploded.. Amassing over 500k coins. I sold most of them to build a second gpu mine but that’s some history on the coin. I think they canceled that program because i’m know for a fact I wasn’t the only one using in that manner most GOU miners got rich off of CRU just by building our mines. They didn’t even have to give us rewards back in those days it was so hard using crypto on a debit card we would have been happy with the ability to make purchases.
Take your base wordlist (the 1 mil variation) with hashcat and run it through some rules. There’s some “lighter ones” to start with like best64, dive and t0x1c. From there, check out OneRuleToRuleThemAll and SuperUnicorn. You can also try adding in some combinators. There’s some tools like this that can put the process on rails a little bit for you: https://github.com/trustedsec/hate_crack. Make sure you document which rules you use with which wordlists so you don’t duplicate effort. You’ll have to go into the config.json for hate crack and tweak a few things to fit within your setup but it’s not too too bad. For the GPU you’ll likely want to add “ -O “ to the hCatTuning line. Hashcat can be as much of an art as it is a science so be patient. I also suggest checking the Bandrel method in hate crack. You run through that and can put in those 20 base words you mentioned and it’ll iteratively build masks (the regex like stuff you mentioned) to brute force suffixes / appendices for your words and your base words in the config file. Hopefully the algorithm for the wallet itself is supported cause it will make life hella easier. Good luck anon. I hope you unlock your treasure.
Tensordock has some GPU / hour for rent. If you need. If you want, share any old email that your dad have it, I can search in some common pass list pawed that I have. If u prefer, msg me. There is any old computer? Laptop, agenda? Digital calculator, bina, bip… @aol , any other site that he uses that can be the same. Bank account manager. Good lucky! Hope u got it.
For Spamming but you have transaction prioritization based on many factors like balance and other , you have dynamic PoW for any new attempts you will need to generate more GPU work , multiple other changes ..
I think there’s a difference between “AI tokens” and actual decentralized AI infrastructure. Most of the tokens popping up are riding the buzzwords, but the core idea.. distributed GPU networks, open weights, verifiable inference - is legit and could solve the centralization problem you mentioned. That said, the hard part isn’t launching a token, it’s building reliable infra that devs and businesses actually use. Training/inference at scale needs consistency, low latency, and clear economics. If a decentralized network can match that, then you’ve got something that goes beyond hype. Exchanges listing early doesn’t necessarily validate the tech, it just shows they think traders want exposure. The real test will be whether projects like DecentralGPT can ship working models that people adopt. Until then, I’d treat most of these like experiments - interesting, but high risk.
tldr; AI-focused crypto projects raised $516 million in the first eight months of 2025, surpassing 2024's total funding, according to DefiLlama. Major investors like Bitwise, Pantera, and Binance Labs are backing these projects, which aim to create new asset classes such as datasets and autonomous agents. Despite concerns of an AI bubble, the sector is booming, with companies like Coinbase and Render Network innovating in areas like GPU access and AI-driven transactions. Experts predict significant economic impact, though challenges like GPU scarcity remain. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Mining is just the process of running computation algorithms and calculations to discover new coins. Which means if you are the first one to guess some very complicated number you get to claim a coin. Kind of like going and digging for gold in a river. It used to be that you could mine from your personal computer when bitcoin was just out of the womb .. then it became toddler and you needed a respectable GPU to have a chance, the toddler learned how to ride a bike then you needed a network of several people (mining pool) to catch it running around and whoever catches the toddler got to share it with other so you’d get a piece (fraction) of it .. now days bitcoin is a wild teenager, you need a complete data center full of the most powerful GPUs to even have a chance and that costs a lot of money so only huge operations get to really discover those new coins, and that will keep exponentially getting harder. So it really doesn’t make any sense anymore to try to get free coins.. but hey, you still might get lucky! 🍀 hehe
Others already mentioned the feasibility of mining using GPU that probably get you next to nothing. Also what kind of game do you think is interesting enough that people willing to let you use their PC to mine Bitcoin? If you are thinking some simple games, don't bother, they are already gazillions of them, out there already. You'll probably need at least some AAA level kind of game. Are you willing to spend tens of millions to make this game with the potential that it will probably still flop?
You'd have a horribly performing game and almost no BTC coming in from it. CPU/GPU mining of Bitcoin has been unprofitable for a long time. The only result you'll get is a mountain of 1 star reviews.
With them knowing or hidden? If you're talking about in secret well then everything, ethics, trustworthiness, performance, legal risks. Even if you would be transparent then still performance is a huge issue on an already demanding video game. Then also the economics wouldn't even make sense mining Bitcoin on a gaming GPU is like ancient technology now compared to purpose built design Asics and miners otherwise. It's not going to be able to run both. Video games bring CPU's and GPU's to their knees and so does Bitcoin mining. The electricity cost would be extreme and hardware would fail sooner than later. I see nothing but cons actually
So theoretically, if I took one of my S19 miners back in time to 2012, how many coins would I mine per day compared to everyone else with a pc or GPU miner?
When a user sends a question to nilGPT, the input is transmitted from the frontend (running in the browser) through the nilGPT backend to nilAI, which generates a response. Once the response is returned to the frontend, it is encrypted locally using a passphrase provided by the user. The encrypted data is then secret-shared and stored across three nilDB nodes. Local encryption ensures that even if all nodes were compromised and an attacker obtained all secret shares, no information about the user’s chat could be revealed. The reconstructed data remains encrypted and meaningless without the passphrase. At the same time, secret sharing ensures that no individual node can reconstruct the data even if the passphrase is leaked to the nodes. The nilGPT backend and nilAI both run inside nilCC, which operates within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on bare-metal servers. This setup ensures that no third-party cloud provider can access logs or outputs. Currently, we are deploying attestation reports from these TEEs and will release those very soon, covering nilCC, nilAI, and CPU/GPU components. With this release, it will be possible to independently verify that all components to which user data is exposed run inside TEEs.
> So how good are the AI GPU chips at mining crypto? bitcoin? Lousy and uneconomical for the cost of the silicon.
So how good are the AI GPU chips at mining crypto? If deepseek fails, taking over each crypto one by one is a pretty good middle finger to the usa
Haha I was about to say yeah, this was 12 years ago!! I mined a bunch in pools when the difficult was nonexistent. Back in those days, you could get away with a decent GPU and a public pool. Good times.
Okay fair enough. I get the Eric part. And it does make a difference. FWIW, I got into KAS during its GPU mining days before any of the ASICS took over, and although its not backed by Eric, the narrative then was "Oh trilemma solved", "Gonna replace ETH/SOL" , "KAS is now on-chain". Well its in the dumpster mate, and narratives run dry and attention is quick to shift elsewhere. KTA still needs a lot to prove other than its max TPS. That's all im sayin. NOT FUD.
Don’t put your $$$ all on red or black but the thing to do is increase your chances! The BEST narratives in crypto usually win. IMO it’s three categories. AI, DePin & RWA’s! Low cap coins are risky as hell and a lot of the time you’re going to lose 50% of your money BUT when things hit the HIT🔥🔥🔥 I’ve had a several 4x-7x by doing this. I’ll take that bet all day as long as I pick 6-10ish coins! Right now I’m in VertAI, GPU, TaoBot, HashAI, 0x0, PalmAI, Nosana & ZKML. Just keep an eye on those and wait for an ugly RED day to buy! A handful of those should easily 3x to 10X and the others might go to zero but who cares! That’s how you play the casino and win😎
>It's not an investment, you can say the same for everything if you aren't going to use it for any other purpose. BTC, same as any fiat currency for that matter, do not have inherent value since they are simply means of purchasing something else this is why these are investments, not resources >people still use old mining rigs because they are cheaper machines and use the heat from it to warm a place those are only economically efficient in countries where electricity prices are low, most first world users are not able to efficiently mine on older rigs anymore regarding the heating, a GPU is an immensely inefficient way to heat regarding the electricity and money input compared to the heat output, they would be much better off if they purchased designated heating appliances and it would cost them less also, if your argument really is that creating heat from electricity inefficiently poses any inherent value, it's from the GPUs, not from BTC. >Also you can stabilize a power grid using mining rigs to not waste energy. using computing centres is also not a really feasible way to to stabilize a power grid. these centres use about 1% of total electricity produced, you'd have to combine a lot of these to use as a backup for only the slightest of power spikes to make a difference the usual BTC mining rig in private hands is definitely not going to matter here - and again, if you see value in grid stabilization, then it's due to the big data centres (which are used overwhelmingly for other tasks than mining cryptocurrency), not due to most BTC mining setups if you really not want to waste energy, use renewable energy and efficient hardware to mine, if you must >You need to research more about Bitcoin if these arguments you posted were the best you could come up after researching BTC, I sure have not missed much. also, you still failed to point out any inherent value of BTC itself.
AI says - how many 5090s for one PH/s it depends on the hash mode (algorithm). An RTX 5090’s speed varies a lot by hash type in Hashcat benches. Using recent 5090 FE benchmarks: • NTLM (mode 1000): ~340 GH/s per 5090 → ~2,940 GPUs for 1 PH/s.  • MD5 (mode 0): ~220.6 GH/s → ~4,533 GPUs for 1 PH/s.  • SHA-1 (mode 100): ~70.2 GH/s → ~14,236 GPUs for 1 PH/s.  • MySQL323 (mode 200): ~544.7 GH/s → ~1,836 GPUs for 1 PH/s.  Rule of thumb: #GPUs ≈ (1,000,000 GH/s) ÷ (per-GPU speed in GH/s) because 1 PH/s = 1,000,000 GH/s.
They can't attack Doge coin. It uses Litecoins proof of work which is ASICs... Their a GPU coin they can't effectively mien scrypt. It's like brining a knife to a gun fight. Nothing will come of this.
I’ve cracked a few before. Happy to write you a GPU script, open source it, others here can peer review. If I crack it, send me a tip. :)
Do you have any idea if you used really secure passwords or not? If you didnt use long passwords, you could try cracking it yourself with a gaming GPU.
Not possible. This is like saying what’s the probability we stop using large harvesting machines and went back to slave labor for farming. GPU mining offers nothing but more cost and difficulty with mining compared to ASICs.
> Maybe the ASICs become much more profitable mining something else This is very unrealistic, since an ASIC is essentially a door stopper, if it doesn't mine bitcoin. By design, it cannot really do anything else. Anyway, if such a scenario happens somehow, the difficulty adjustment algorithm has a maximum level of downwards adjustment, which IIRC is 25% downwards for every adjustment period(2016 blocks). So first of all, the remaining blocks of that specific period still need to be mined in order for the adjustment algorithm to kick in, and second of all, it will by only adjustment by 25%. This means there will a lot of time be passed before GPUs become viable again, since new blocks will be coming in so slowly, until the difficulty adjustment will reach a level where GPU is in any way profitable.
It doesn't affect Bitcoin in practice because there are no Bitcoin miners close to 50% The mechanism being discussed - secretly mining a series of blocks and releasing them all as a "surprise" to replace the chain tip - is useful for a few reasons 1. it defeats Satoshi's white paper mining risk calculations, because those calculations assume competition for each block, one block at a time. See section 11 "Calculations" 2. it defeats the double-spend victim's "wait 6 blocks" strategy if the replacement chain tip is more than 6 blocks long The definitive example of this method is the 2020 BTG double-spend attack https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/71321570a105940529e709651d0a9765 The theft works by depositing BTG to an exchange, buying BTC, withdrawing BTC - all during the regular miners making 6 blocks per hour. At the same time, the thief uses 51% mining hashes rented on NiceHash to mine 2 hours of blocks faster than the regular miners, and in these 14 blocks spending the same BTG to themselves instead of depositing it to the exchange. Then release the 14 blocks to the BTG node network. The nodes automatically replace that much of the chain tip because the new tip is a longer chain The thief gets to keep the BTG, and also keep the BTC bought on the exchange This worked on BTG because * BTG is not SHA256, not ASIC-mined, is only GPU mined * GPU mining hashes are available for rent on NiceHash and similar hash broker sites * BTG's price and hash rate means it only costs $1700 per hour to rent 51% hash rate for BTG * the exchange (Binance) wasn't smart enough to wait 30 blocks after receiving the BTG deposit (now they are) None of those conditions apply to BTC, but it's possible in the future, after the BTC price bubble bursts --- To clarify the Monero discussion, it's not possible there either, because Qubic doesn't control enough miners' hashes, and because its miners will switch from Qubic to another pool to prevent Qubic having 51% The pool only controls its miners' blocks if the miners don't switch pools. Qubic's malicious attempt drives away its miners Also Monero is CPU mined, not GPU mined, costs much more than a few thousand per hour to overtake the network, and because Monero CPU hashes are not easy to rent on NiceHash (at least, it's not possible to rent 51%)
BitcoinMag wanting us to choose between HFSP and commiting tax fraud. This isn't 2011, you can't mine it from your C/GPU. This ship sailed long ago.
Yes I've been saying this for years. This problem is hugely amplified by the ASIC miners. It used to be most people could participate (even if uneconomically) in mining and strengthening the network with broadly distributed GPUs. Then those GPUs became hard to access. Then ASICs made those GPU's obsolete from an efficiency standpoint. Then the ASICs became difficult to procure in any amount of scale for all but the best capitalized players. So we've created a technological bottleneck to decentralization (though it's still decentralized relative to a central bank). But as a BTC maxi (with 0.5% outside of BTC), I'm happy to see this effort. Discussion like this is what will make BTC durable. Hopefully the community continues to debate issues and try solutions. Godspeed to all.
Yes. of course GPU mining of altcoons was wiabke for many years after. The GPU reference was a reminder of the state of Bitcoin at the time.
While GPU mining for Bitcoin was dead then. GPU mining for other coins persisted and could have been paid out or converted to Bitcoin.
I bought a new GPU just about when bitcoin was being talked about on slashdot, I am like I can generate money and test my GPU works. It was well before 2012. Later on I had a spare hundred grand or so, and I told the misses, I was going to buy $1000 worth of bitcoin, it was less than 10 a coin that point. She said she would leave me if I did.... I could of have retired, she could have retired. Every one I know could have retired.
Outsider with no horse in this race between you two. Criticising his laptop is a shitty way to push an argument. You can trade on a 15 year old netbook, the GPU makes zero difference. It's completely irrelevant to the discussion and just makes you look like a prick. Enjoy your retirement.
TAO doesn’t have the same capabilities as Render. Bittensor is focused on creating a decentralized network for training and sharing AI models, while Render provides the distributed GPU power needed for rendering, visual effects, and AI workloads. They’re in different lanes. It’s a bit like comparing a teacher to a power plant — one shares knowledge, the other supplies the energy to run the machines. Both are valuable, but one can’t fully replace the other. It’s a bit like comparing a teacher to a power plant — one shares knowledge, the other supplies the energy to run the machines. Both are valuable, but one can’t fully replace the other. I’m terrible with analogies. I even had to ask ChatGPT to help me with an analogy and I think it’s worse than I am. 🙄 I think you should buy back some render basically, but that’s not investment advice.
I love PEP - proof-of-work coin, fork of doge, no pre-mine, no ICO, fair launch, merge-mined with Doge and Litecoin, GPU-mineable, low market cap frog money. Early doge vibes are real.
I used to be an activist about it. I would be sending people bitcoin from my phone, I would talk about it, I hosted seminars about it at work back in 2012. I tried to get friends and colleagues to split the cost of a GPU mining rig in 2011. Nothing really made a difference because people just thought I was a kook. Then I worked with people for a few years that were bitcoin 24x7 and it was amazing! Now when people ask me about bitcoin I just brush them off and move on. I never bring it up myself.
You would download and all known addresses (UTXO) that had non-zero balance or at least activity (received and spent money) during a given time period when the user knows they were using the wallet. It is large but not excessive, less than 100 GB? Full blockchain size is 670GB, we need only addresses not other details, and can filter by known time range, and addresses can even be trimmed from 25 bytes to let’s say 10 bytes for address - it will still be very unique. Computationally it does not even need to be in GPU or even in RAM, it can stay on disk. Compute all valid permutations of words -> calculate ~29mln (479 millions / 16) seeds to BIP derivation paths (this is computationally intense!) -> get perhaps 200mln candidate addresses at common derivation paths -> 10 GB of candidate addresses (if trimmed to 10 bytes per address). Now need to lookup/join a 10GB dataset against a 100GB dataset on disk, it is doable on a PC in lots of ways effeciently.
Yeah the GPU can easily give you all the possible permutations of the correct seed phrases and checksums but how would you go about checking every derivation path for a balance? Shit starts to get weird really quickly.
Not exactly. The number of order permutations of 12 words is 12! = 479,001,600 combinations. It can probably be solved on a powerful GPU in a matter of minutes, especially since 1 of 16 combinations passes the checksum test, and 15 out of 16 can be very quickly discarded. With 24 words… 6.5e+23 - practically unfeasible today but not impossible. Like 10,000 GPU cluster x 1,000 years (back of the napkin estimates). So while the order of words is an important information, by itself it not secure enough by itself.
Well, either SHA-256 will become re-enforced for quantum computing, potentially an upgrade for the mining suite and the miners will give a consensus to upgrade the network hash. Or we will see a AI dystopian world where the first person to unlock it will be able to competently do a 51% attack and destroy the network by front running all the data and being able to program the hash out and front run the transfer location and drain any transactions that occur on the block that is being solved with Quantum Computing. Its a catch 22 scenario, we just need to pray who ever gets the GPU is not a tyranical fiat driven over-seer... Oh wait...
Yeah, don't need to.. I'm a huge fan of AMD (their CPUs are killer) and I like the fact that ROCm is open source (their version of CUDA) but unfortunately it is a fact that Nvidia is the defacto industry standard. Every single LLM related code/platform/etc defaults to CUDA. Everything from ChatGpt, huggingface, lm studio, ollama, gpt4all, vLLM, and on and on are all built with CUDA acceleration baked in.. and sure AMD's ROCm backend technically exists but who's going to port the 10 billion lines of code for every single library when day one every single one already supports CUDA? That's a ton of work and a hell of a headache that is not worth the 20% savings offered by getting an AMD GPU.. nobody's going to spend an additional two months manually porting every single update, every library drop, etc. AMD's open source ROCm is cool, I like the idea in principle but am I going to port my own code and then deal with the ify support for AMD? Not in this lifetime CUDA has decades of refinement and has gained market dominance.. ROCm's tooling and driver stability is waay behind CUDA.. Consumer grade RDNA 4 isn't even fully supported as of ROCm 6.4 and all of AMD's APUs with Radeon 890M literally don't even work out of the box still waiting for community patches 🥸 Literally just ask anybody in AI and they'll tell you Nvidia all the way. There's no way in fuck that AMD is going to catch up with the decades Nvidia has had to saturate the market.. Try coding anything involving an LLM and you'll see CUDA is just assumed. Not that I'm saying AMD isn't a good investment too, but Nvidia spends its time optimizing and innovating while AMD just tries to catch up to what is already outdated by Nvidia standards.. because by the time AMD has a (glitchy) port for the newest library 🧗Nvidia has already released 2 newer versions 🪂
I randomly started mining a few weeks ago. Wasn't making crazy money, but enough for it to be worth it. Are we about to see another GPU rush?
To the best of our knowledge and expectations, quantum computers won't "crack" SHA-256 at all. That doesn't mean the quantum threat does not exist - the main issue is ECDSA. The scenario grok refers to as "cracking" SHA-256 is being able to run Grover's search on it, which gives a quadratic advantage in search. That means that to fully reverse a hash (find a preimage that hash to a specific hash) you need to do around 2^128 steps instead of 2^256 - but that is still unfeasible to do, will take more than the age of the universe even if we assume the QC is as fast as the fastest processors today. The problem of finding collisions (two preimages that hash to the same thing) is a bit easier, takes 2^128 steps classically and 2^64 with Grover's search - that is still mostly unfeasible, but not quite "age of the universe" level and could maybe be done if we get quantum computers *very* fast. But even in this case, it's easy to just move to SHA-512. The issue which is unique to Bitcoin is mining. In mining the miners do a partial reversal of SHA-256 (trying to hit a range of preimages) which is just hard enough for the whole network to do it in 10 minutes. A quantum computer gets a quadratic advantage on that partial reversal too, and since mining is competetive it won't need to be extremely powerful to dominate. Still you would need a much more powerful quantum computer than we currently have or expect to have in the coming decades, and you can't even effectively "join forces" from several quantum computers because Grover's search doesn't parallelize well. So it looks like this isn't a concern for a while, but when it is it looks like it would change the landscape of mining significantly (much more than the CPU->GPU->ASIC transition), mostly for the worse it seems for decentralization and robustness. It's unclear if any kind of proof-of-work we know can work well with quantum. Anyway the real problem which is more pressing is the ECDSA signature scheme, which is what is used in Bitcoin to sign transactions using a private key, such that they can be verified with the public key. This signature scheme is thought to be possible to crack with quantum computers - going from public key to private key. Now there are modern algorithms which are thought to be quantum resistant, but there are some issues with moving Bitcoin to use them - you need people to willingly migrate to a quantum resistant wallet, as they need a new private key from the new algorithm. It's of course tough to rally everyone and for some it would not even be possible as they lost access to their keys. Quite a few of the early wallets whose public key is exposed would become "quantum loot" and there is some discussion over whether to let it be stolen or freeze those finds. Another issue is that the signatures in quantum resistant algorithms are much larger, and that's an issue with block space already being a premium.
SHA-256 is not an encryption but a hash function, and it already is something that quantum computers cannot crack (to the best of our knowledge and expectations).

That means that to fully reverse a hash (find a preimage that hash to a specific hash) you need to do around 2^128 steps instead of 2^256 - but that is still unfeasible to do, will take more than the age of the universe even if we assume the QC is as fast as the fastest processors today.

What are you really securing if you're just locally computing hashes that will never realistically amount to a valid block in your lifetime? Fundamentally, any sort of fair validation mechanism lets you contribute roughly in line with the share you make up of overall network security. So there's a pigeon hole problem where with a limited amount of duties that need to be performed, you can either allow small contributors but have them wait forever for their turn or set a reasonable minimum and take contributions from everyone that meets it. PoW is fully probabilistic. There is technically no minimum, but there is also no guarantee. A tiny amount of hash power like a single GPU gets you a very small but non-zero possibility to mine a block, which is the only real duty in PoW. There is one block every 10 minutes, so to be of use to the network within a year for example, you should provide at least 1/50,000 of total hash power, which is going to be much more expensive than 32 ETH. Any extra hardware and electricity you need for this is also sunk cost, unlike the capital for PoS. Proof of stake has not only block proposals (which are also probabilistic based on stake), but other duties such as attestations. That way, each validator is guaranteed to contribute to consensus each epoch by attesting to blocks they deem valid. But you're right that there is a minimum of 32 ETH to contribute if you don't want to be part of a staking pool.
This is a broader question, so I’ll give my personal take. AI is great at spotting patterns in massive datasets, which makes it ideal for analyzing on-chain activity for example. It can flag malicious behavior, detect anomalies, or even optimize smart contract logic better than traditional tools. On the other hand, crypto gives people access to decentralized GPU networks like Akash or Nosana for example, letting anyone rent out compute and earn from it. AI benefits in turn from this availability. Together, they unlock a more open and efficient infrastructure where anyone can contribute, benefit, and build smarter systems without relying on Big Tech.
its super slow compared to other crypto that will handle transactions in seconds. its also a lot more expensive. just facts. you bought all these things with crypto because you are a delusional enthusiast and not because its convinient, cheap and fast. i can buy a GPU without any fees online. i can buy my burger with cash, with my credit card, with my debit card, with whatever i choose. without any fees at all. 99.9% people do not need cross border payments. and in europe its even free and literally instant. called SEPA, if you didnt know… bank transfers via Wise, Revolut, etc. do not take a week. just inform yourself about the fintech companies that have amazing services for travelers, expats and people that need to transfer money.
Particularly for larger transactions, its cheaper and faster than the banking system by far. What are you talking about? I've bought a GPU with it. I've bought a burger at a restaurant with it. I helped facilitate a payment for a buddy overseas who needed a niche car part. Banks would have taken a way higher percent of his $$ and it would have taken a week.
Technology is a “physical” thing/force/process, see CPU’s, GPU’s Motherboards, Servers, etc etc. BTC is a Digital Token, and Tokens, have been integrated into how “we” exist, how we function now and in the future, in conjunction WITH technology. Every single time that you login to a website, part of the authentication process is, issuing you a Token after your Identity has been verified. Tokens are not going away. They are an essential part of technology, now, and in the foreseeable future. BTC will NEVER Die or disappear, and if it does, so will WE ALL
Well my first buys were on Gox, then used Coinbase for retail purchases but have been mining since GPU days. I guess I just don't pay much attention to the trading side of this. For reference, my first BTC buys were at $110 and my first ETH buys were at $5.60
Hello and thank you for holding this AmA, As someone who uses AI daily at work your platform looks very interesting and obviously into crypto lol, my questions: 1. Can you expand more on decentralized GPU infrastructure? 2. Can you name a startup or a creator that's been using your platform and share some feedback they provided? 3. More about no-code fine-tuning the model? Or maybe share some tutorial video to learn more. Thank you!
Render over AVAX 3-6x, GPU is the narrative for the bull run. can’t believe I’m the only person that can actually answer what you’re asking and not shill eth or btc lol
Damn you couldn't be farther from the truth! It sounds to me like you're upset because you held all of your assets in ethereum and you didn't do your due diligence to actually research Solana and you wonder why the price has outpaced ethereum in the past few years. More people are consistently using Solana then all chains on ethereum combined. I've made a simple list for people that want the truth to dispute everything that you said because damn near everything that you said is a lie or misconstruted... 1. "Solana lied about the circulating supply" Correction: Solana did not lie, but mishandled the disclosure of a loan from the Solana Foundation to a market maker in 2020, which involved ~11.3 million SOL. This was a transparency issue, not an attempt to hide supply permanently. Once discovered, the foundation corrected it, published a public report, and burned the excess tokens shortly after. That’s not "hiding for years"—this was addressed within weeks of launch. Sources: Solana Foundation Response, 2020 --- 2. "TPS is around 300, not 50,000. Anything more is fake." Correction: Solana’s architecture is fundamentally different. It processes parallelized transactions using Sealevel, unlike Ethereum’s single-threaded EVM. Solana can process tens of thousands of non-overlapping transactions per second. The 50,000+ TPS figure includes vote transactions because Solana's consensus is deeply integrated with transaction flow. That’s not marketing trickery—it’s a function of the network design. It’s also incorrect to say "300 TPS" is the limit—on-chain data regularly shows 2000–4000+ TPS, excluding votes, in real time. Dropped transactions occur during congestion, which all chains experience, including Ethereum and even its L2s. TPS dashboard: Solana Beach TPS Tracker Validator.app TPS Stats --- 3. "Hyper-centralized validators that halt the chain" Correction: While Solana has ~2000 validators, not 1000, the active set is over 1300+, with more coming online. Coordination during a halt is not proof of collusion—it’s a strength, showing validators can resolve critical issues in a decentralized-but-efficient manner. The halts (which mostly occurred in 2022) were due to design flaws that Solana Labs has since addressed via upgrades like QUIC, local fee markets, and Firedancer (Jump Crypto's independent validator client). Ethereum’s Lido controls >30% of validator stake, and RocketPool & Coinbase hold more. Solana’s top 20 validators do not control the majority of stake, and no entity can unilaterally halt the chain. --- 4. "SOL inflation is 5–10% and worst in smart contract blockchains" Correction: This is false or outdated. Solana’s current inflation rate is 5.5%, decreasing by 15% per year until it reaches a long-term steady state of 1.5%. ETH had inflation >4% pre-Merge and >10% during the ICO boom (2017–2019). Since the Merge, Ethereum’s supply is sometimes deflationary, but not consistently, and ETH inflation is tied to gas activity, which also impacts user costs. Moreover, Solana has very low fees (fractions of a cent), so inflation is used to compensate validators. That’s a design tradeoff, not a flaw—unlike ETH, Solana doesn't require high fees to secure the network. --- 5. "All research and innovation comes from Ethereum; Solana just copies" Correction: This is baseless tribalism. Solana has pioneered multiple innovations, including: Sealevel (parallel VM execution) Proof of History (cryptographic clock to order transactions) QUIC-based communication Firedancer (new validator client with 600K TPS throughput) ZK Compression State Compression for NFTs and Accounts Ethereum has brilliant researchers, yes—but Solana is not a copycat. They explore fundamentally different scaling paths. ETH chooses modularity and rollups; Solana focuses on monolithic performance. --- 6. "Solana L1 has no plan to scale, so it’s copying L2s like Ethereum" Correction: This is backward. Solana was designed to scale at L1 from the beginning. L2s are being built on top of Solana by third parties (e.g., Nitro on SolanaVM, Eclipse), but they are not required for scalability. These L2s exist for experimentation and custom environments, not because Solana can’t handle demand. Solana still processes more raw transactions per second than all Ethereum L2s combined. Liquidity fragmentation is an active issue on Ethereum—many users are stuck between Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, etc., and bridges are often risky. Meanwhile, Solana has shared state across all apps on L1, allowing atomic composability—a feature L2 ecosystems cannot replicate easily. --- 7. "Dangerous trade-offs put users at risk" Correction: This is vague and emotional. Every chain makes trade-offs. Ethereum: favors decentralization and modularity, but users pay $5–$50 per transaction. Solana: favors throughput and latency, with lower hardware requirements than people think (many validators run on ~$100/month bare-metal servers). Solana’s low-latency, high-throughput model is exactly what powers its growth in consumer apps, like: Helium (5G) Render (decentralized GPU) Hivemapper (real-world mapping) Dialect, Jupiter, Backpack, and more. These trade-offs are deliberate, and they serve real use cases.
Yeah wish I hadn't used my stash to buy a new GPU
You can just edit your original post, replace "GPU" with "ASIC", and all the confusion will go away.
by GPU I’m referring to parallel processing which ASICs do but GPU is more general. Semantics… Power could be more available over time but it is still a controlled utility and people can control where power is distributed. Third I bring things up because I did the homework. It’s not nonsense it’s critical. Bitcoin has several vulnerabilities that can be a threat to the network. You should be more critical if you care about it.
Bitcoin hasn't been mined by GPU for years. It's mined with specialized hardware (ASICs) that takes whole warehouses and lots of power to be truly profitable. It's centralization is concerning, but not because of GPUs and network security flaws.
Superior Transaction Speed and Throughput: Solana’s blockchain is designed for high performance, capable of processing up to 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) theoretically, with real-world averages around 2,700–3,000 TPS. This is significantly faster than Cardano’s current capacity of approximately 250 TPS, even with its Ouroboros consensus. Solana achieves this through its unique Proof-of-History (PoH) mechanism combined with Proof-of-Stake (PoS), which allows for parallel transaction processing and minimizes latency, making it ideal for high-throughput applications like DeFi and NFTs. Lower Transaction Costs: Solana offers some of the lowest transaction fees in the blockchain space, averaging around $0.0015 per transaction. In contrast, Cardano’s fees, while still lower than Ethereum’s, are higher than Solana’s, making Solana more cost-effective for users and developers, especially for microtransactions or high-frequency trading applications. This cost efficiency enhances Solana’s appeal for real-time, high-volume use cases. Innovative Proof-of-History Consensus: Solana’s PoH mechanism is a groundbreaking approach that acts as a cryptographic clock, enabling nodes to agree on the order of events without extensive communication. This streamlines the consensus process, allowing for faster transaction confirmation and higher scalability compared to Cardano’s Ouroboros PoS, which, while secure and energy-efficient, prioritizes academic rigor over speed. PoH gives Solana a unique edge in optimizing performance. Parallel Transaction Processing with Sealevel: Solana’s Sealevel technology enables parallel execution of smart contracts, allowing multiple transactions to be processed simultaneously across GPU cores. This contrasts with Cardano’s Plutus platform, which uses Haskell and focuses on formal verification but lacks the same level of parallel processing capability. Sealevel makes Solana particularly well-suited for complex, high-traffic applications like decentralized exchanges and gaming platforms. Stronger Adoption in DeFi and NFT Ecosystems: Solana has seen rapid adoption in decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) markets, with a higher total value locked (TVL) compared to Cardano. Its fast transaction speeds and low fees have attracted developers to build robust ecosystems, including projects like Audius and NFT platforms backed by high-profile figures. Cardano, while growing, has been slower to develop its DeFi and NFT ecosystems, partly due to its delayed smart contract rollout in 2021. Developer-Friendly Ecosystem and Mobile Integration: Solana’s infrastructure is designed to be developer-friendly, supporting multiple programming languages and offering mobile-friendly tools for Web3 development. This flexibility has driven innovation and adoption among developers building high-speed applications. Cardano’s multi-layered architecture and use of Haskell can introduce complexity, making it less accessible for some developers and slowing feature rollouts compared to Solana’s more agile development environment
Kaspa (KAS) A proof-of-work based Layer 1 project with revolutionary BlockDAG technology - offers extremely fast transactions with full decentralization. Why interesting? • BlockDAG instead of Blockchain: Enables multiple blocks per second → extremely fast finality and high scaling without Layer 2. • Proof of Work 2.0: More environmentally friendly than classic PoW chains thanks to efficiency and simple hardware requirements (GPU mining friendly). • Pure decentralization: No premines, no VCs – completely community-driven. • Growing adaptation: Integration into wallets, exchanges and payment systems is increasing; new smart contract plans (Rust-based) are in development.
Fuck I miss POW coins White papers and GPU mining
This is only a problem for GPU hashes. For ASIC hashes like in Bitcoin, hurting the network makes all your ASIC’s worthless.
Yeah I just did asked AI the same thing. What I got was that Akash is more grounded right now (real compute, actual revenue, decentralized GPU hosting). But that FET plays a different role, more about autonomous agent infrastructure and longer term AI coordination. I don’t think it’s Akash over FET, I think they’re attacking different layers of the AI stack. If AI is the next big wave, both could eat. Just depends on what piece of it you believe in more.
It's because gamers hate Bitcoin because they drove up GPU sales for non-gaming purposes. (yes people still GPU mine for Bitcoin but it's via shitcoin mining and then trading it for btc). The majority have written it off as a scam and disregard its capability for liberty, and won't accept any other answer.
I mined for nearly 2 years on my $1000 GPU while it was still profitable. It was like printing money. Once those days were over, it became like any other investment.
Render is a company that allows users to borrow GPU power, think of it like an AirBNB for computers. Kaspa is basically Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and Sui all in one. They use a ghostDAG protocol which is hard to explain, but other than that they have insane block speed, really good security and everything. They just need a few smart contracts and partnerships and they will boom up. Read the white papers to learn more
I was mining BTC using my cpu and a 256 mb GPU, generating 2 BTC every 3 days. I have stopped after about 3 weeks, don’t remember my wallet recovery, also I could have kept on mining and have a complete different life now 🥲
This hits all the right notes if you're into **low-cap coins with strong community vibes** and some *actual* utility. What makes $DOGPU interesting isn’t just the meme factor—it’s the combo of **GPU mining**, **fast block times**, and a genuinely fun ecosystem. If you’ve got a gaming PC just sitting around, the fact that you can mine it with a standard GPU (no crazy ASIC setup) is actually kind of refreshing. It feels like those early Dogecoin days—but with way better tech behind it. And while price predictions are always just guesses, that tiny starting price + active devs/community does make it one to watch. Especially if you’re into crypto that mixes *fun, function,* and a bit of “what if this actually takes off?” Wouldn’t ape in, but tossing some spare GPU power at it? Could be a fun ride.
Bought a burger with bitcoin last week at a restaurant. Bought a GPU from an online vendor with it as well last year.... when's the last time you used your 401k?
I read it again, but still dont get it. The buyer of the GPU has a totaly different name. Maybe a scammer could circomvent this by first selling an GPU and creating a new account on BISQ under the same name as the buyer and than search for a bitcoin seller who is offering exactly the same amount of bitcoin. Is this the way it took place?
Go for monero for cpu and something like Ethereum Classic for GPU.
You cannot mine Bitcoin with a GPU, sorry.
Attention! I got scammed on this method. Basically, the buyer send you money via wire, the btc is then released. After a few days or weeks, you are called by your bank that there is a charge back request and you are forced to return the money if you don’t provide any evidence that you sold a product, indeed. Which you didn’t. It can get even worse: I had a case when the scammer wanted to buy some bitcoin. Then, in the same time, he posted a sell announce on eBay or other similar platform that he is selling some high end GPU at a good price. He got a buyer. The scammer requested a btc buy with the same amount he requested for GPU. The GPU bayer received my bank account information of course and was told to send the money in order to reserve/deliver the GPU. I received the money - the bitcoin was released but the guy with the GPU got scammed. He requested charge back. Police involved of course.
Had 17 in 2018. Paid 0.5 for a GPU. The I tried to trade and multiply the rest. Fucked all
Oh don't worry, you won't be making any money. Not without investing in specialized hardware and running it long enough to pay for itself, if ever. You can use an old version of [cgminer](https://cgminer.info/) to just do some hashes on your GPU. Or, if you just want to know all about the process, [by hand](https://www.righto.com/2014/09/mining-bitcoin-with-pencil-and-paper.html).
Yea I had a gigantic GPU in my desktop that was sitting idle all day and I heard about bitcoin, but I had "more important things" back then than spending a few hours figuring out how to set up a miner. I would have probably sold all of it at 1$ or something
If you already hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana and want to diversify into alts, consider spreading your extra capital across projects that power the Web3 ecosystem rather than chasing hype. Chainlink offers reliable on-chain data feeds that will only become more essential as DeFi and AI applications grow. Render provides decentralized GPU compute capacity, helping developers train and run models without exorbitant cloud fees. And Ocean Protocol’s Compute-to-Data model lets you share datasets securely while earning royalties through its Data NFT framework.
The summer of 2011 is when GPU mining first became more known. I wouldn’t be shocked if this guy mined all of these
If I was 23 again I would observe AI was added to my competition, ontop of women and immigrants. Easy to see they have to reset the fiat system since it is clearly on a runaway track. Just like pokemon cards, the value of BTC is in the purchaser's eye. In 1991 everyone thought upperdeck baseball / hockey cards were a wise investment. The only thing that was certain throughout human history was GOLD in your hand not that ETF crap. BTC is subject to the new system just as it is subject to fiat today. Your internet access can be restricted, your person can be cut off from fiat exchanges and currently BTC is getting wrapped up into the NWO. So if you do wind up having a bunch of it you will have to be a whore of the "golden age" system in order to use it. The days of trading BTC for hockey bags of cash are gone and the freedom we had is gone with it. So, observe your freedom is being further restricted each year, your competition is increasing with each deployed GPU and issued passport and everyone is getting less competent and less willing to uphold a system that keeps them fed due to rampant fraud and general degeneracy. Your call bud, but if I was 23 again, I'd start reading a bible.
The price of GPU’s finally go down
