Report: Nvidia’s Lite Hash Rate Tech to Stop Crypto Miners ‘Was Pointless’
In mid-May 2021, the American multinational technology company Nvidia Corporation revealed that it added a hashrate limiter to curb the use of cryptocurrency mining with its graphics processing units (GPUs). However, crypto miners now say the move was pointless, and the mining organization Nicehash details that the hashrate limiter scheme introduced by Nvidia “did not discourage miners at all.” Nvidia’s Hashrate Limiter Didn’t Stop Crypto Miners From Using the Products Last year Bitcoin.com News reported on Nvidia’s “Lite Hash Rate” (LHR)....
