I’m not up to date on the latest mining algorithms but is it true that they’re all embarrassingly parallel to the point the WebGPU makes no difference? Fast inter-thread communication is the big addition here.
I guess it depends on the specific cryptocurrency. I don't think the big ones would benefit. Maybe some niche ones could see some kind of benefit, but making mining somewhat more efficient isn't going to change the incentives for drive by miners that much because efficiency doesn't matter when it's someone else's electricity you're wasting.
