It was either fans or fill it with bobble head dolls.


ETA: Im sure you have some super sweet pokemon figurines inside your case, but its not my style.

The odds that you even get your money back from this before EIP 1559 is very unlikely

with the 6 cards i currently have running, my Biden Bucks investment will be met. my 3060Ti is almost "paid off". as long as BTC and ETH keep moving up, it won't take too much longer.

now, 2 of the cards may not be paid off, but i can live with that. that's part of the ride. they'll eventually be paid off.

ETH is over $3200 today.

EIP 1559 will make dagger mining 100% useless, which will make mining useless

You'll see all the die hard miners tout that there will always be a POW coin to mine, but even that is looking very bleak right now.

I'll probably continue to mine through June, but then sell of my cards for a [hopeful] hefty sum before EIP 1559

yeah, from what i've read from these guys, a 30% drop in profits is all that's going to happen. July 14th is the expected date. the way i understand it, the gas fees are what's effected by EIP-1559. PoS isn't happening until ETH 2.0.

Gas fees are a majority of the profits and reason to mine, I think it'll be a bigger hit than 30%

right out of box, need to do some oc, and switch my ram in bios from 2133 to 3600.... But it finally booted! My AIO pump was bad, plugged in a corsair and just have it sitting on top to make sure it keeps temp before i purchase a new one.

I've never OC'd AMD GPUs, so I don't know how those cards work or what settings typically are used, but you should be able to use MSI Afterburner.

Its what I used for my 2070 Super.

Few cases of chronicles in the back room of the shop.

I like chronicles, you get tons of rookies. Plus like seeing some of the inserts of old sets from back in the day.

That's dope. I might try to get some 2021 stuff for chase and Marshall

I'm looking to throw my gaming PC in my server rack and run a corning TB3 optical cable to my monitors, but there doesn't appear to be any TB3 docks that support 4k/120hz

I've thought about doing something similar a few times.

you were saying.....?





ETH pumping over the weekend has been awesome for us... let's hope it doesn't crash and we can sustain this kind of profitability for the next 2 months.

Still wouldn't be close to making your money back on a 1660 super

But I don't even check my dashboard except for maybe once a week now to move my BTC to blockfi

maybe not a single 1660 super, but the current jump over the weekend has me at almost 30% ROI. if the current ETH price keeps it's current pace, i'll be at 45% by the weekend. knowing how volatile it is, it'll crash below $3000 at some point.
