New Crypto Currency uses SSDs and Hard Drives to mine instead of GPUs.

"According to the latest HKEPC report, an emerging cryptocurrency, Chia, is mined with storage space and miners in China are buying up hard drives and SSDs at an alarming rate. The mining process of Chia requires a large amount of free space and runs many reading and writing operations. These miners have been purchasing massive amounts of hard drives ranging in capacity from 4TB to 18TB."

Days Gone Director John Garvin Says Metacritic Score Is Everything to Sony

Personally not a fan of this direction where smaller games from Sony like Gravity Rush that can get moderate sales and score can no longer be a thing. While it wasn't a big franchise, it certainly was the game that made me purchase a Vita at launch.

God why are we so forsaken for this type of shit?.

First the GPU's, now the SSD's

I just want this fuckfest to end already. Next year's already looking grim. 

You know this is getting quite outta hand, that I'm surprised any gov around the world isn't taking notice of just how much power is being wasted on this pointless craze. Like a few guys have already been conducting studies and one guy has already pointed out that the combined mining collective, have are already outpacing the world's green energy output (solar panels), which to me sounds godlike fucking dire, not to mention all these GPU's end up getting wasted bad at the end of the day. 

I wouldn't be surprised if governments are making money off of cryto as well. I know at the very least, China is. And now that companies like Tesla are buying cryto and making billions off of them, governments are certainly not gonna do anything with it other than maybe legalize it further.

On the bright side, cryto did crash right now but still not as big as the one we need for things to normalize.
