Methylethylaldehyde posted:Man, I really wish someone was able to do a big retrospective on how well the different video cards held up to the constant 24/7 load placed on them by people mining buttcoins. In theory as long as the various components are kept below the 80% max temp rating, they should last years and years, but with how hot spots work, and how close to that level the cards are out of the box, who knows what odd failure cases people will see on those used cards.

This historical re-enactment is pretty drat good, but we're still missing someone trying to sell fruit dried with the power of GPUs and also someone getting permanent brain damage by sleeping in the same room as their unventilated GPU farm. Please do the needful

I'm curious, how much power is Ethereum using now and what is its transaction rate? Is it as terrible as bitcoin where the difficulty level is basically the inefficiency rate or does it scale? Just for reference, last time I looked bitcoin was estimated at 400 megawatts operating power for a NES-like 4-10 transactions per second. If run by coal-fired power plants that would be 53KG of coal burned per second, with each transaction optimistically swallowing up 5KG of coal.

seems like an apples to oranges comparison when one option isn't even showing whole frames. overwriting a frame mid-transmission is obviously faster than waiting for it to finish being displayed.

Cryptocurrencies are now using several small countries' worth of electricity to create magic beans. Or more accurately, cargo-culting a system used to launder money out of China and bypass its currency controls. lol

Years ago on some bitcoin forum or other, a guy called Pirateat40 ran a huge ponzi scheme. At the time he had accumulated almost 7% of all bitcoins in circulation; big enough to attract major attention. This earned him a wire fraud conviction and an 18 month prison sentence. On the forum where he was reeling in his fish there was another person staunchly defending Pirate, having bought into his scam, and also running their own similar scheme. This person, Raphael Nicolle, is the founder of Bitfinix.  Spatial fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Sep 3, 2017 |

Well, 4970 is close enough... Maybe I read that on the reddit while laugh-trawling though. There are some posts in there right now lamenting buying in at 4.2K.
