CoreWeave is the largest Ethereum miner based on GPU's. They've recently begun using 6000 of their GPUs into working for corona-virus research through redirecting them to Stanfords University Folding@home project. Folding@home can be accessed by anyone and share his CPU/GPU power, thus creating the accumulated computative power of a supercomputer, to help in research for various science fields.

On 27th February Folding@home unveiled a wave of projects that have the goal to develop pharmaceutical drugs that fight coronavirus. The accumulated hashpower in these projects aim to help speed up COVID-19 efforts, by posting all results and datasets available on their gihub repository.

Anyone can help by downloading the folding@home software and sparing their idle CPU/GPU power:

This is a good thing to help miners reduce the coronavirus, which has killed most people around the world, and to create this idea is good to help spread the disease and restore life to its normal course, and cryptocurrencies will be the most prominent event because it has helped people in this big crisis.

Some mining websites are claiming that they are contributing in corona virus emergency but we don't know what is the truth. If they are speaking the truth and helping the campaign to stop corona to be spread, it would be a great step to help humanity.

This is a great humanitarian work by miners, a very beautiful idea that may help rid us of the specter of this virus, and return life to what it was before.

Hi :) Saw your specifications. This isn't the best of the best, but you will be able to watch movies. Ok, a little time of jokes. But seriously, this isn't the ideal pc you want. I know prices today are horrible. But there are some options which still are excellent. It would help if you watched for 1660 because of the power. It's worth the price you got. Yeah, there are more models, but everyone got his preferences. If you mind or think about getting one of those, check this article https://quickreviewshow.com/1660-ti-vs-1660-super-which-is-better/
