The ever-increasing value of bitcoin and other virtual currencies has literally caused a gold rush. And not only among investors who, with the prospect of possible profit, are horribly buying what they can.
This also applies to miners, due to which practically the whole world is facing a shortage of graphics cards. The situation even went so far that miners began to buy gaming laptops on a large scale to use for mining.
As can be seen from the lines above, the greatest demand is for hardware that would otherwise find application in game sets. To mine bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies, you need to have a whole farm of extremely powerful computers called mining rig.
Special software is installed on all machines connected in this way, which then calculates pre-set calculations, which result in the gain of virtual coins. It is then possible to buy practically anything for them, or exchange them for real money.
