Why mine Bitcoins when you can use Computing Power for Hedging? (crowdprocess.com) 12 points by joaojeronimo 12y ago ↗ HN
[–] fsk 12y ago ↗ You can calculate the minimum volatility portfolio directly with linear algebra, idiot. It's called 'efficient frontier'. [–] joaojeronimo 12y ago ↗ not what we're trying to do
[–] juliangoldsmith 12y ago ↗ Nobody mines with CPUs/GPUs any more. If you do, you'll lose money on electricity.That's pretty interesting, though. I think. Brb, looking up terminology. [–] joaojeronimo 12y ago ↗ Yup, still tons (really tons) of people ask us why we mine bitcoins.
[–] gaius 12y ago ↗ That is not the title of the article, it is nothing to do with Bitcoins. [–] joaojeronimo 12y ago ↗ The title has everything to do with it, it's about a better alternative to mine bitcoins

[–] J_Darnley 12y ago ↗ What does the computer get out of it though. If I were to mine BTC, I get BTC out of it, even if it cost me more in electricity to do so.If I run this what do I get out of it? I see what you get out of it. You get to use my computing power to help you make "safe" money.
