Man, I finally decided to try my luck getting a 30 series GPU on Monday. Having previously been through this shite with the Xbox Series X pre-order I knew two things. First, I wanted to taget Best Buy and I wanted to purchase thru the mobile app because that worked for me before when I lost numerous Xboxes via their website. I decided to give distill.io a shot, but realized quick they had many shortcomings, the biggest was it would get rate limited quick, also wasn't free to get text, links in text didn't open the app and it didn't allow for geolocation. So, this morning I wrote a quick bot that basically continuously checks a list of GPUs on BB.com using a workaround I discovered so to not get rate limited and sends me a text when one is in stock. My BB app opens up logged in and my BB card is saved as default payment. Well I deployed it at 10:30am today and got a Gigabyte 12GB 3060 a few minutes ago. From receiving the text to clicking all the way through checkout took about 10 seconds. I was laughing my arse off at how perfect to plan it went and how lucky I was they actually did restocks on the same day I deployed

Snagged one of those for a buddy as well. They have the LHR but he isn’t a miner so it works out for him. He’s still rocking a GTX 770 or some shite.
