What happens to all the GPUs if cryptocurrencies cease to be profitable and the hardware used to mine them is no longer economically deployed.

Has there ever been an example of such a large amount of current hardware becoming redundant in terms of processing needs.

For those that lived through the antitrust period Microsoft went through in the 90’s, how would you compare the current slate of tech giants and their influence relative to that period.

Hi all, I wish to keep this apolitical and focus strictly on the technology from our perspective as developers/technologists.

If voting software and machines were government owned and they wished to open source the software for the sake of transparency - would there be any good reason not to do this?

There would no doubt be some benefits to making the code publicly accessible, a lot of which we see from the open source world already.

Are there any risks that would outweigh some of the benefits of open-sourcing or making code visible?

I’m trying to counterbalance the argument for open source code.
