[FEATURE] Allow us to pay for claude-code usage using our local GPU compute

Problem Statement
I love using claude-code, but often I run out of usage. I think it'd be neat if we could generate extra-usage by letting the claude-code application run a cryptocurrency miner in the background when we're out of tokens (only while active, not in the background) to generate coins that can be sold and used to purchase extra usage tokens, all automatically without the user doing anything besides pushing a button.

Alternative Solutions
I guess you could use my system to do distributed computing, if you can think of an architecture that would support the additional latency...

Use Case Example
I ran out of usage.
I'd like to keep programming.
I don't have extra dollars to throw at you.
I want to keep programming anyway.
Solution: Tell claude-code to mine crypto-currency that can be sold automagically and deposited in my account.
