I heat my home by mining crypto currencies

I have a 3090 and cheap-ish electricity. Is it actually worth doing GPU mining again? I thought that died out long ago.

The 3090 runs super hot. You probably want to look into a heatsink/fan for your vram.

Not for Bitcoin.

Other crypto currencies can work better though.

Claims you can earn ~$17 per day if you can get electricity to 10c/kWhr running a single RTX3090 but that's all mining Etherium (DaggerHashimoto) not BTC.

Nvidia even offers dedicated mining GPUs: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/cmp/

Mining bitcoin no, but other cryptocurrencies yes.

Sounds like with the run crypto is on right now, you can make some pretty decent money.
