Title: Alternate uses from mining rigs Post by: carlosjhr64 on September 05, 2011, 07:28:05 PM I imagine that there may be a number of retired mining rigs and thought it might be useful to have somewhere a list of alternate uses for the hardware, either donating time or for profit. Considering the expense of the rig as *water under the bridge*, might as well find some productive use for it.

Any rig good at bitcoin mining will be equally good at Folding computations. As far as I was aware, amd gpus are far behind nvidia gpus in terms of PPD (perhaps this has changed now - it's been a while since I folded). Other than playing games on them, there are few uses. I guess you could try writing some fun opencl apps? Title: Re: Alternate uses from mining rigs Post by: Bitcraft on September 05, 2011, 11:43:46 PM File server?
