    Fun fact, there are many programs that use the idle time to compute scientific data, BOINC and Folding@Home are the biggest ones. Great way to donate computing power you don’t use to science! (Though this will increase your power consumption)

    I see people trying to convince people who use those platforms to switch to mining Cryptos, so I’ll always recommend the exact opposite.

      Yeah, running something like folding@home provides actual value, while crypto just destroys the planet.
