I understand perfectly.
What I don't understand is why people who claim they know these things are acting like you can't make money off a free Ampere card.
-
Like 99% of mining is initial capital, everyone knows that. GPUs alone don't make a farm but you realize the thieves are also motivated to not go to literal prison?
Figure that a fence for stolen goods with trackable serials is already taking a substantial cut if they try to sell.
Mining in an inefficient hacked together "farm" doesn't seem so crappy by comparison suddenly.
It's not like anyone is saying they have to do that, but it's a very unique property of what they stole
