Crack passwords, also there was this craze a few years ago, where people were using their GPUS to crunch numbers and earn money, I forgot what it was called ... something with mines.

Cracking passwords is legal if you obtained the hashes legally as part of your pentest conttract. So is shitcoin mining.

But you seem dead set that there are no uses for ROCm so I'll leave you there.

If the best you can do is 'password cracking' as your answer, you're obviously not very well versed in things. Plus, you don't need ROCm to crack passwords.

Good luck trying to make enough money to pay for power let alone capex
