Internet and cyber cafes in Asia are slowly transforming themselves into cryptocurrency mining farms for the simple reason it makes more money. Currently, the pandemic has a severe effect on such places.

They are placing together all the graphics cards from the local computers and mounting them on various platforms to have them mine all day. One of the most famous cybercafes in Vietnam announced on Facebook, “By transforming the business in this pandemic, the benefits are higher, making it clear that mining is being more than profitable for this class of companies.

The owner of this particular cybercafé also owns a computer store, which explains how they had access to so many GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards to mount them on more powerful farms that complement the rest of the systems to pay off the investment faster.

Can guru3d stop posting filth about all this crypto garbage?

Everyone knows crypto is done by losers. And posting it in the news section only encourages more losers to mine crypto.

Or alternative change the name from guru3d to gurucrypto
