@kingslayer69O69 @feliks Baseline humans run at only about 100W, with much of that used to keep you alive. Mining a bitcoin runs about 150–800 MWh (0.54–2.88 TJ). So your virus would need in excess of 9 centuries to mine a bitcoin, which is less than $0.01 per hour of being sick.

@Arpie4Math @feliks so what you're saying is. We need more humans to make a Bitcoin farm?

@kingslayer69O69 @feliks Humans are so hard to network, it is regarded as a rarity to get two of them to interchange gigabits, events with three of them simultaneously interchanging happens less than once in most human's lifetime, and more than three makes newspapers. Plus, they have weird operational requirements in that they stop working at both high and low temperatures, stop working if the Halon system goes off, seem incompatible with liquid cooling systems, leak strange fluids, etc. I'm not saying that they are more trouble than you should bother with, but I'm also not not saying that.

@haui @feliks Instantly reminds me of Ramez Naam's 'Nexus', which coincidentally also seems scarily plausible at times.
