so, the current bitcoin network hashrate is 140 million terahashes (exahashes) per second. That is 10 to the power of 18. CPU bitcoin mining is such a joke, that the best I could find is hashrate for an i7 2600, which is 24 megahashes, which is 10 to the power of 6. So dividing that by 4, since we are talking about a single core, and the dividing it further by 10, because lets say the launcher uses 10% of a single core, you get 0.6 megahashes per second. Now, lets triple that, to account for increases in IPC. That is a wild overestimation, but whatever. So that is 1.8 megahashes or 0.00000000018 exahashes per second or 0.0000018 terahashes per second
The latest ASIC bitcoin miner has the hashrate of 110 terahashes per second. This is 61111111 times faster than the CPU. It can yield on average, without electricity costs, 24$ a day. So on this CPU, it would make 0.00000004$ a day, assuming it runs non stop. So lets cut that in half to be left with not even remotely average power-on time of a computer in an average household. To make a 1 dollar per day, they would have to have an install base of 25 000 000 users. For 1 dollar a day. If every single person on the planet owned at least one computer, and every single computer had EGS installed, they would make 300$ mining bitcoin per day. That is how retarded your statement is.
When you get that processing power for free? Infinite.
