Could Crypto mining algorithm usage be tracked by graphics cards? Ideally, this would be done through a hardware chip, so the tracking could not be disabled.
The purpose of this, would be to better protect those who buy used GPUs, as some graphics cards will be on their last legs when re-sold (or have reduced performance in many cases), due to extensive GPU mining. Sellers could check / report these statistics and grade GPUs accordingly.
Another added benefit, would be reducing prices of cards that were used for mining, which should reduce average used graphics card prices.
