So after digging into this for 3 hours, i still cant comprehend how people are buying this shit

Then i said, lets roll the dice, and put my 120$ of crypto to use to make one.
Checked my bittrex account from 2017, sure enough, that 120$ is now 1900$ filled with doge, xvg, rdd, etc

An hour later of messing around, with no clue whats happening half the time, i have my own NFT

Sold some doge into eth > created rarible account > had to make a fortmatic account > transfered bittrex eth to fortmatic > created nft from one of my old weed photos > made 2 more accounts on niftygateway and opensea > niftygateway you need to use their creation software? Could not understand thefuq is going on there so i supposably lost 10 nfts > transfered another 10 to opensea > listed for sale

From start to finish, i burned 100$usd creating and transferring coins and nfts

I still dont understand 80% of what just happened, but here it is

and an update to my nicehash mining off my laptop, let it run for 10 days, return of 14$ to the wallet, ultra sketchy software, multiple virus programs did not like the miners, uninstalled

I ordered 2 3080's yesterday from https://blankgroup.ca/product/zotac-...-10-gb-gddr6x/ Paid $2,486.62 US. Price has now gone up. Check my status today on the website and it says back ordered. The fact I can put 120 cards into the shopping cart makes me believe its a scam. Will give it 5 days then call my cc company.

Most mining applications are reported as malware, so what you're experiencing is normal.

However, mining on a laptop isn't worth it, so I am glad you turned that.

I make that much in one day with a RTX 3080.

This is so bizarre. People talking about dogecoin, raven coin, and so on.

How is any of this stable? What happens when people just to the next coin that's minable? This seems like crypto wack-a-mole.

This whole thing is just so ridiculous to me. I'm still missing the point here.

People mine a variety of coins. Ethereum is just the most profitable right now.

thanks for being a guinea pig :bigthumb:

im just going to pick up 3 more 3080s and a 3070 to finish out my rig then ride it out....

no more super rig builds for me now

Bitcoin is the only real one. The rest are just greedy people ripping each other off, and hoping to get in and out at the right time. There's no reason for dogecoin to exist or "be profitable" except for the simple fact that people are buying and selling it.

I've still got a few 3080 preorders with set availability dates (from amazon) and my 3060s in the mail, but I'm done with growing my rig collection for now, maybe for the year even, see how things go from now on, and hopefully recoup my costs

I just need a couple more psu's tho, made an order from Japan for two Super Flower ones (they make evgas high powered ones), the shop said they had two in stock, but now they've updated my shipping to a month later -_-

Wanted to use em to power the 3060s, now I'm thinking about getting a couple of those 8/12 gpu server cases that come with a mb/psu/etc

Use server PSU's. https://www.parallelminer.com/ cheaper and more efficient.

I've been hesitant to giving em a try cuz I hear they're loud af

Yea....those are SUPER LOUD!!!

You can replace the fans in them with 40mm Noctuas to turn them reasonably quiet.

Try to push devs to increase block rewards from 2 to 3

Scored a 3070 evga xc3 utlra in a drop today....just need 2 more 3080s

When is it going to ship? My 3060 that I ordered on launch day still has not shipped. You would think on launch day they would have it in stock.

Did you contact them? I've had my 3060s for awhile now, and even the ones I ordered from Taiwan will be here this week

They are already in purolators possession and on the way

I Will contact mikes tomorrow. A family member wanted to build a new computer. Walked into memx today and got an Asus 3070. Got them to build the whole computer so that might have had something to do with it.

GPU update.

Mikes computer shop
contacted via chat

3060
I'm 3rd in line.

3080
Ordered 2 in Jan. The sent me one in feb but they thought they sent me 2. Now I am next in line. No eta.

Blankgroup.ca

ordered 2 3080's Can't get in contact with them. Called up my CC company and they cancelled my card and are sending me a new one. pain it the ass. Blankgroup now has a bunch of products listed. So a called again and guess what! got in touch with a person. Tells me they are B2B but have now started a consumer division. He will send me a n update buy the end of the day. Wanted me to send him an email with tips on how to improve the site. Who knows whats going on.

Added a 3070 to card but buy the time i placed the order it was sold out. now the second time i got an alert I was faster and got one. Should be here by the 17th.

2 3080's on order

order has been pushed back twice. now the eta is the 15th.

Got my superflower leadex psus in today, the cables... They use a mix of 16-20awg wires tf... The pcie daisy chain uses 20awg wires while the main 8pins use 16, I could understand dropping to 18awg for the daisy chain (even tho I'd be annoyed) but down to 20? -_-

Not that I'll be using the daisy chain portion, but still

Sad. My 3080 Ventus was nonstop giving me black screens earlier tonight when I was gaming and it looks like it's completely dead now. System wouldn't output anything until I put in an older card.

Anyone have one they're looking to get rid of? Has to be a Ventus since I have a waterblock for it, lol.

Oh damn
Are you going to see if u can get it repaired?

Seen some ads on yt for places that claim they can revive dead cards (if ur not going to try and send it to msi)
