Crypto currency mining as form of basic income
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    I just look into all this for last 6 months and such idea just hit me.

    Actually crypto mining has all the properties required for basic income redistribution

    • Pointless "work" that do not interfere with means of production ownership
    • Real money poured by big banks
    • Experiment is limited and very easy to stop at any time
    • You still have barrier of entry (ownership of good GPUs) and their production is planned and limited
    • At any day you can call it quits and declare that free lunches do not exist in this life

    Mining can use lots of electricity. I think a good idea would be to have solar panels in backyard.

    Actually it does not matter. Until income is much more than electricity bill.

    Of course, it is wasting of resources. But I think it is design property as this waste will be located in the poorest regions also helping to reduce manufacturing reserves.

    Read carefully. They buy cards because for now card gets you much more than electricity cost.
