      I am over on kbin.social and upvotes and downvotes don't carry over instances, but on my end there are no downvotes at all in this whole thread. I am just stoned and thought that was interesting.

        How do you access kbin.social?

        On Memmy for iOS, downvotes were displayed by default. On Voyager for iOS, I had to enable downvotes in settings.

      I didn’t downvote anything. I asked for a source.

      But the Reddit classic of people taking everything as a person attack has carried over to Lemmy, I see.

        Where did I say it was an attack? Now you’re just projecting.

    I'm not the person you're asking either lol but I was curious so I poked around till I could find something. This says that the last time GPU mining for Bitcoin was 2014.

    This isn't an area I know like literally fucking anything about. So this was just me googling. I don't know how reliable this source is

        You’re being downvoted making everyone else google an easy fact for you and then continuing to doubt

      Lmao, you don’t have to comment if you don’t know what you’re talking about

        I’m sorry I commented on what I knew about, but I have no control over what the original poster said regarding GPUs, I don’t know what he meant by that either.
