Nvidia announces mining GPUs, cuts the hash rate of RTX-3060 in half
Lets analyze the following statement:<p>> RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent.<p>Why just Ethereum? This cannot possibly limit the sales of 3060 alone because there are a zillion cryptocurrencies. 
People will just use it to mine for other crypto currencies right?. 
Also 50% reduction. They wouldn't hardcode this percentage. The number obviously needs to be able to go up to 100% (no limit) and down to 0 - ie block it completely.<p>This effectively means 2 things:<p>1. Their detection algorithm is "upgradable". They wouldn't do that just for Ethereum.
2. That they can block any kind of workload they can detect.<p>Should we allow them to have the power to do that?
