I thought you were retarded as I run a computer shop and build a few gaming computers a month. Holy poo poo Amazon doesn't have a 1070 in stock! Literally last month I could have my pick at retail!

Fauxtool posted:as the people using the 1080tis for mining are here, im 100% confident we will have a reasonable idea of their reliability after mining. If they start going bad we will know not to buy them used. some are here, and it would be unwise to assume that a random 1080ti you buy on craiglist was well-cared for. Instead you should consider that it might have been used like this:  amateur homerigging is the norm, especially if you're buying video cards from randos in the middle of a panic-sell; do not assume it is the exception. All that I am advising is caution; don't cream your jeans too quick when used cards start showing up everywhere, especially not if your finances can't afford to basically lose that hardware without recourse

im running mine in a low noise, not optimized for airflow case. If it doesnt burn out here it wont in the open air milk crate in the picture. Dont buy if it doesnt have a warranty, its very simple. I know every buttcoiner GPU has been abused, I also have confidence they can take the abuse and if they cant I have the warranty Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Jun 25, 2017 |

QuarkJets posted:I use GPUs for serious (physics) computation work with CUDA for a living and I run into academics all the time who think they can get by just slapping 4x 1080s (or 980s or whatever) into a server and running them at full-tilt. In my experience they lose about 50% of those cards after a year. Consumer-grade video cards are actually not designed to be used 24/7; their failure rates go way up when you do that, and those failure rates increase further when you pack several them into a poorly-ventilated space (such as a homebrew "computation" box or a mining rig). There are computational-grade graphics cards that are actually designed to survive in a high-load setting, but they cost a lot more So to be clear, something like using 8 1080 Tis as compute cards is an idiot trap, and Teslas are the only real answer?

Not necessarily; that setup is being sold as a server that you put in a data center, on a rack mount, where presumably it will be adequately cooled. Putting that thing under your desk is a recipe for disaster, however Of these two scenarios, the latter is what cryptomining usually entails

That's the crux of the problem; if you buy a mining card used then you do not have a warranty, and if the card dies after you receive it then you're SOL.

None of them require registration when first purchased except EVGA as far as i can tell. https://www.evga.com/articles/00671/ So i guess you are wrong and it can actually be totally safe to buy a used card from a buttcoiner.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Since you're writing a book against all this stuff, I wonder if you've thought of buying any funcoins? You seem to be against mining, from what I've read, but not sure if you think this crypto poo poo has any real future or what I was previously the proud owner of six Dogecoins, until I reformatted the laptop in question and couldn't be bothered. The very best ICO I've seen yet is EOS.io, which I wrote up here. I told my wife "I should forget this book idea and just start a GiveMeAllYourMoney ICO" but she vetoed it, apparently she has morals or something. I have achieved the opposite of what my Goldman Sachs shill masters wanted, though: a friend bought £5 of ETH off Coinbase just 'cos she wanted a front seat for the train wreck. Oh dear.

I disagree considering none of us advocate hoarding but rather cashing out immediately and never buying new hardware for the express purpose of mining. Its more like TCC threads where they talk about they doing drugs but "responsibly". "I'm not like those addicts" Is later found heat stroke dead in car too high to unlock the door and live Thats how im going out, heat stroked under a pile of GPUs

Divabot can you look into WAVES and tell me your opinion? I'm legit thinking of buying a hundred pieces at 5 dollars to see what happens. There's no mining and the chrome app is very good for being an early release, it seems like a legit good project, but then again I suddenly became a crypto miner so I don't trust my broken brain anymore

 This is why you cant buy bideo cards https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/6j9hwf/bought_too_many_gpus_delimma/ quote:So here's the story. One month ago I partnered up with 2 of my buddies to start a huge Ethereum mining investment. We went to every Micro Center in New York and cleared all the AMD cards off the shelves. We also purchased cards on NewEgg, Amazon, BestBuy and etc. We had friends and relatives shipped cards to us from out of state. Two weeks ago we finally found a suitable space to run our rigs. It is a warehouse about a 1 hour drive away from where we live. We signed the lease and immediately hired an electrician to do some wiring work. It was not until a week ago that we realized we purchased way too many graphic cards. We simply do not have enough electrical power to support all our rigs. I mean we knew we wouldn’t have enough electrical power from the start but we thought we could just add more power to the place easily but apparently that’s not the case. We have to apply for it, wait for its’ approval and even after it’s approved it is going to be quite costly. So a cheaper and faster solution to our problem right now is to look for a second space which we are in the process of doing right now. But we still have too many cards right now. Currently we’re running around 85 - 95 graphic cards and some heavy duty fans from Home Depot at our current place. We still have about 150 graphic cards sitting around and another 17 coming from California. Assuming the second space we lease will most likely have the standard electrical power available, that will mean we will have to look for a third space. Since time is of the essence right now and we do not know when we will find our third space or even our second space, my partners and I have decided we will sell about 50 – 80 of our graphic cards to minimize our risks.

Is it an ICO? YES: avoid it. NO: it's an ICO, you fibber. 2. Does it satisfy all the following? * It solves a technical problem that requires decentralised, cryptographically verified tokens (if it doesn't need tokens, they shouldn't be bolted on) * the tokens are directly usable on the platform itself * at least a proof-of-concept of the technology verifiably exists * the idea is even plausible as a business YES: you liar. NO: well of course it doesn't, it's an ICO. 3. Does the white paper contain ridiculous gibberish and quotes from loving idiots? NO: mmm why you fukin lyin, oh my satoshi YES: “The killer application of blockchain technology is the blockchain itself.“ attributed to "Common wisdom", right after a quote from Ryan X. Charles. CONCLUSION: every day we stray further from Satoshi's light. more serious answer: It's an ICO platform that wants to compete with Ethereum. I'm pretty sure that's not "moon", maybe I'm wrong, Ethereum is filling after all. Maybe it's not poo poo technically. It actually passes the tests in question 2, if you think "ICO platform" isn't a BS idea. I wouldn't spend $5 on it myself, but I am definitely not offering investment advice.
