I don't know but I had 12+ tabs bookmarked to opened all at once. My next refesh got "access denied" so I started to only refresh a single page individually.Anyway, I missed so many cart checkouts for an RTX 3080 this week I think I am done trying. Someone mentioned having extra tabs open ruins your chances. Is that true?
Yea I think the 'access denied' error was from too many requests. Someone in a discord said they only sell to you if you only have one tab open to prevent bots...?I don't know but I had 12+ tabs bookmarked to opened all at once.

Uh, does that mean the more cards mining out there, the less the profit there is to be made? Because if that's the case, Bitcoin has to stay high or even go higher to make a profit. The situation would be comical if prices go back down. I just realized when I looked at the NiceHash calculator, the GTX 1050 Ti was like $0.70 per day a while ago and it just showed $0.40 per day when I looked at it today. (Haven't tried mining but kind of wondered if it was worth it. Although I hesitate to use a rig at 100% 24 hours a day.)I bought a way overpriced 6800 from RogueCast with the intention of learning to mine to pay it off.
But the crypto expected earnings went less that half what i was when I bought the card, and I havent even gotten other parts to finish the build.
This link shows current profit potential per card series.
It was over $11/day just a week ago

Part of the problem is with the shortage, a lot of chips as been deligated to automotive car companies, to help economy get back on its feetSo here we are.......6 months in and you can't find a new GPU anywhere for even a modest jack over MSRP (Im talking etail, not eBay)
What the hell happened?
poor production?
poor planning?
sudden demand?
lack of parts?
"the COVID"
greed?
what is the truth Mulder?
Are you sure of this? I've read that the auto companies use parts that are not made using 7 mm process.Part of the problem is with the shortage, a lot of chips as been deligated to automotive car companies, to help economy get back on its feet
People do for consoles usually .This right here ^ .. I'm sure there are many that at those GPU price points will get to the point of moving on to other avenues of entertainment. I will never pay $300-500 for low end.. if that is the normal, then PC gaming will be dead to me.
Back on topicHasn't this thread kind of wandered around a bit?
I think you heard that when you stopped out to eat at Subway.I can't remember where but I think I've seen something that said some governments, I don't know which, have outlawed their citizens owning too much compute out of fear that it'd become trivial to brute force encryption. Anyone heard of something like that out am I out to lunch
Any reason in particular you think it's a scam?
Well, those 3060 Ti's are USED. And this scumbag wants over $27K for the lot. Plus $500 for shipping.Any reason in particular you think it's a scam?
Seems like a fair price to me.Well, those 3060 Ti's are USED. And this scumbag wants over $27K for the lot. Plus $500 for shipping.

Thanks for the reminderShit is gonna get really crazy as stim checks start going out in a couple weeks.
where'd you buy your gold?One of the lucky ones, I bagged a asrock 6900xt a couple months ago off newegg using snail monitor discord. Paid around 1200+tax. It's a lot, but worth it to me.
Stim check is going right into the savings account this time around. Last time I bought gold with it. lol
I'd say get silver. It has more upside potential, but is still a precious metal with industrial value.where'd you buy your gold?
I bought Bitcoin with my last stimulus check. Gold is the other hedge I'd probably pick up some with the next one. The cash they are giving us will be watered down plenty in 10 years. The BTC and Gold should not be.
I'm reading the Bitcoin Standard book right now, and they noted that Silver can just be mined more if demand significantly increases. So if you were a wealthy buyer and you bought up 10% of the total global supply in hopes to raise the price of Silver, more would just be mined to accommodate your hold and prices would/could drop back down.I'd say get silver. It has more upside potential, but is still a precious metal with industrial value.
Check your local coin shops and buy silver for as close to spot price as you can. I prefer pre-1965 US coinage because premiums are usually cheap and it is easily identifiable.
So what chance does an Average Joe like me have to score anything right now? Maybe two months after hell freezes over and then melts again.It’s not true. I was logged in with the same account on two computers, and my phone, and had multiple tabs open on both computer browsers — and didn’t take the time to disable my 30 second interval distill I/O checks on the one PC. I landed a single Asus Strix 3070. Completion was fierce. I must have had a dozen or more in my cart after the please wait screen, on each occasion, but only landed the single card this time. I think there are literally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people hitting the site at once because of all the various Discord and alerting groups.
Good to know!I'm reading the Bitcoin Standard book right now, and they noted that Silver can just be mined more if demand significantly increases.

Gold however, historically can only increase supply by about 2% per year, and mining output can't historically keep up with increased demand.
The author concludes Gold is the better hedge against inflation of fiat currency than other mineable metals.

Pages 19-24 that addresses this very discussion. (worth the read!)
Your chances will be dramatically and quickly increasing if ETH prices keep dropping. Mining is currently half as profitable as it was two weeks ago.So what chance does an Average Joe like me have to score anything right now? Maybe two months after hell freezes over and then melts again.
At RogueCast I landed a Sapphire 6800 Nitro+ for $929 + tax. I overpaid also, but it was that or nothing.One of the lucky ones, I bagged a asrock 6900xt a couple months ago off newegg using snail monitor discord. Paid around 1200+tax. It's a lot, but worth it to me.

No way to prove it. I agree that seems likely though. Here we are in March and the situation hasn't gotten better, it's worse. Instead of new GPUs being easier to obtain (they aren't) we are now seeing stocks of older models, even RX 570/580 series for example, coming under heavy pressure which has driven prices up to ridiculous levels. $450 for a used RX 580 8gb card for example, not unusual at all. This is old tech.I think there are literally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people hitting the site at once because of all the various Discord and alerting groups.
It would be way more than this because I certainly am not a member of all the stock notification discord groups, but these are three I’m in that publish membership.No way to prove it.
I have a RX 580 in my closet that I considered selling after checking the prices, and around $400 does seem to be the going price. Then I thought better of selling it, because it is the only decent backup card I have on hand. If my primary card kicked the bucket, I'd be hosed with the way things are now.No way to prove it.

The mining demand is just as bad this time as last time, and with the demand we were seeing before that and supply chain problems this is a perfect storm. Extremely difficult to find anything right now without 2-3x the price it should cost in a normal situation.
Why would your card die. Take the cash IMO. Best time, probably ever, to sell used hardware with these market conditions. I bought a used 1080ti for $300 last year. I put it on eBay for $725 on Friday as a BIN. It sold in less than an hour to a guy with a 100% feedback score and well over 1000 feedback. He’s going to crypto mine with it.I have a RX 580 in my closet that I considered selling after checking the prices, and around $400 does seem to be the going price.

No one knows when their card might die. And he's right, if it does, he's really screwed with no decent back up.Why would your card die. Take the cash IMO.
