Cryptocurrency mining software wars
| God this fucking cryptomining fad. I didn't mind them losing their time and electricity money until they started to write malware and made GPU prices go up to heavens

I hear you, I feel the same. It doesnt seemnlike it will fade away soon, it will probably get worse and as you see with unthought of side effects.
I expect cpu+gpu at the same chip will become more and more popular and powerful. The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G looks very nice and is capable of a lot of things without a separate graphic card. Miners will not be so fast to build countless systems with such cpus, each needing its own mainboard.
| It's only gonna get worse from here.
| But the second tron movie a shit. It doesn't make any sense at all.

| Cryptocurrency-mining malware-scum have started to write code that evicts rivals from compromised computers.
Some guy seems to have found a kind of script (PowerShell) which is part of a cryptomining malware, which kills anyother high cpu usage process in an infected computer, save itself. It essentially eliminates competition in the infected machine.
Let the CPU Cycle Wars begin!
And I am gonna watch both Tron movies today!
