could mining hardware actually do something useful instead of just burning power
there's like millions of mining rigs worldwide just crunching random numbers for crypto. always seemed wasteful tbh
saw some project called qubic trying to get doge miners to do AI training work while they mine. no idea if the AI stuff is legit but miners are posting slightly better earnings. makes me wonder if we could actually repurpose all this compute for something that matters instead of just making digital coins
is this realistic or just another pipe dream? curious what this community thinks about redirecting mining power toward actual productive work
