If you've already paid for and reserved a whole cluster of GPUs, any idle capacity is capacity you've already paid for. Using it is effectively free. So might as well use it to solve fun math puzzles. Though, it would make more financial sense to mine crypto. | ||

> it would make more financial sense to mine crypto GPUs are power-inefficient for mining most crypto so not necessarily. You may end up paying more in electricity than you are able to mine. Most crypto mining is on ASICs now. | ||

How much crypto do you think the mentioned 30 GPU years would have produced at current exchange rates? They're not as efficient as ASICs but GPU's can still mine a lot... | ||
