I have heard that many people are creating new setup of PC to farm in unreal engine with their graphic cards does anyone have info about this part and how can I use my pc for unreal engine to take profits because I have a setup with those components :
Rtx 3090 FE
Ryzen 5 5500X
Ram 32 Gb

So if anyone have info tells me because it will be a very helpful to get some money extra when my pc is standing and I’m letting in it free.

Hi Redinel, Welcome to the Forums,

While it may be true that ‘compute is the currency of the future’ :robot: :zap: I’m not aware of any cryptofarming related things that are connected to UE.

Although, on the topic of using PC hardware and UE to save money. - In the winter, if you spend most of your time in one room, would you save money if you just ran a benchmark (software that stresses hardware to the max + generates maximum heat) and used your PC to heat the room, while saving money by letting the other rooms be cooler?

Today I learnt there is:

  • Staking - validators deposit cryptos to become eligible to process transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain.
  • Liquidity mining - supplying cryptocurrencies to liquidity pools in return for yield.
  • Yield farming - applying DeFi strategies to earn maximum yield from your available cryptocurrencies.

And then there is this. This I understand all too well.

I think (hopefully what i describe below has not infected unreal made games) that you misunderstood idea of crypto mining in unreal.

There are several (whole class) of trojans/backdoors that install mining software and your PC is mining for somebody else, and you do not even know about it.

So “mining in unreal” most probably is:

  • you buy asset swap cheap game (or get free game)
  • it has embeded mining software, or just downloads it later, and installs (like backdoors do)
  • then your PC is turned into mining station for somebody else
  • when you uninstall game, it either removes mining software (well that is grey area game), or it does not (and that game is plain malware). Btw same goes for web browsers and other shareware stuff, even some big companies do it (ie. they do not uninstall miner nor they tell user about it) which imo turns their software into malware regardless how big that company is.
