I mean it depends on how much CPU usage . I've played unturned and used glsl shaders before and both of those destroyed my CPU. I don't see how this is any different except somebody in the world is now making actual money if I use this backdoor bullstuff
Mining will use as much of your hardware resources as possible.
Just because you have a stuff computer, that doesn't mean this is fine. The difference between this and that is that this is probably actually criminal and that is just you trying to run things you can't.
The fact that your CPU is being destroyed by something normally done on a GPU tells an amazing picture.
I don't know anything or care at all about crypto currency but I always see that it's a trend to stuff on all mining operations or some stuff idk why. Like if there's any hardware failure in the world it's a Bitcoin miners fault or some stuff
No like, literally anyone in the world will tell you that running your hardware to 100% for long periods of time will cause the hardware to die faster. This isn't something exclusive to mining and it's not something that people use to hate on mining. In fact, it only affects the people who are mining themselves.
Companies even plan their devices around keeping the fail rate under a certain threshold at 100°C.
Knowing that a game is using your computer to mine means you're legitimately willing to shorten your hardware's lifespan.
The problem with this game in particular is that they were hiding it.
Sure. If the game straight up told people that it was using your computer for mining, then I'm sure a lot less people would say anything about it. Hell maybe it even would've stayed on the store. The dishonesty is the biggest problem.
If you seriously aren't into this subject at all, then stay out of it. Because it's really starting to show how ignorant you are.
It's fine to not know things. But it's not fine to act like there's not a problem just because you don't understand it.
This offer still stands.
But hey, if you're completely fine for it, mind if I set up a wallet, give you my public key so you can go mine some crypto for me? For free of course.
Edit: And before you go and say that you're getting a game out of it, I'll be totally willing to buy you a $1 game for this.
Even though I know I'd be losing a dollar because your potato wouldn't earn me a cent.
