An investigation further indicated that the utility bill of the department had surged by over 40 percent from October 2017 to January 2018, as cryptocurrency mining requires significant amounts of electricity due to its high processing demands.

 

The FDLE said McDermott had also purchased 24 graphic processing units on the office's account at a cost of around $22,000, according to the report. GPUs are commonly used for cryptocurrency mining given their ability to crunch numbers much faster than standard computer chips.

    @XenosTech  I doubt BTC is going to die, but I do enjoy the crashes/dips.  You can definitely find a 1080 Ti if you really want one. :D
