The author is fundamentally flawed in his approach. He thinks bitcoin mining is just mindless churning on your GPU.

But in reality, it's cryptographically checking the validity of bitcoin transactions. So the system churns for the benefit of the system itself, instead of churning for the benefit of some external goal.
