I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example.

It could be anything though. An online game, an OS, a console, TV show, a forum, or anything else. I'm just curious what people have to say.

It also doesn't need to be "dead". It could just be a significant change where a chunk of the community left.

Ethereum mining.

I finally got a decent GPU in the beginning of 2022 and set up a basic rig. In September of that year Ethereum switched to the "proof of stake" model, rendering mining useless. I managed to maybe get a total of $200 worth of Eth in that time, and that was that. Taking into account the cost of electricity, my profit was around $100.

I still mine Ergo. It's a PoW smart contract platform (like Ethereum) but it's UTXO like (Bitcoin or Monero).

Lots to like about the chain. I turn some of my mined ERG into SigUSD (algorithmic stablecoin) and then loan it to a lending pool. Currently make 94%APR in USD that way. Been like that for several months.

With my track record, the moment I start mining again is when they fold.
