It's a good gesture because crypto mining is a scourge, but realistically they were probably already obsolete. Those things have a shelf life shorter than mayonnaise left on hot asphalt. You buy them, run them flat out for 6 months, then throw them in the trash. At that point they barely even make back the cost of electricity. Crypto mining adds up to about 0.5% of global electricity use.
