Hackers threaten NVIDIA with a $1M ransom to allow the tech giant to bypass the Light Hash Rate limiter for Ethereum and fully open-source all GPU drivers by the company. NVIDIA LHR lessens mining abilities by as much as 50 percent. The new bypass by Lapsus$ would remove the limiter from Ethereum mining performance, allowing full use of the graphics card technology to boos Ethereum mining. Whereas this is great news for crypto mining users, the primary basis for initiating the LHR was to lessen the popularity of the company’s GeForce RTX 30 graphics cards to the crypto mining community, allowing for more stockpiles to be sold for gamers and enthusiasts alike....
