This isnt turning out how I expected at all, I'm almost at the point where I'd sell my gear and call it a day  | That's mining life. My rig that does over 100 mh/s was doing 24 mh/s today. 2 of the cards where doing less than 4 mh/s combined. had to reboot 3 times to get it working right.

I bought two refurbished alienwares with 3080s in em for 2k-ish (after tax) thru bestbuy marketplace, like end of Jan/beg Feb, been hoping to see more, but none have shown up on there since
They suck for cooling tho and r so fucking loud, so I just parted em out for my rigs

| Figured this one out, I forgot to mention I got a new case, and ig this case sucks for cooling, a look at HWInfo told me all I needed to know, memory junction temps start out at 95° and just keep goin up n up, it's as if I had hot air blowing straight onto em
My fans for my old case couldn't all fit (240mm ones) and while this case is bigger, it's fans n vents r small

Depends on how you pay. If you pay with a CC or PayPal, might be worth a shot. Might lose a few bucks if the exchange rate fluctuates heavily and you need a refund though.

Would you guys buy 3060s at msrp if available?
I can get a bunch from Taiwan, but I'm kinda hesitant on the idea of more gpus before I even recoup my costs thus far

I'm just hobby mining, so no. But I'm sure there's a huge market for it on CL/FB so you should be able to recoup costs even if you need to do a large group buy.

Yeah I didn't want to go lower than a 3080 but the fact that the 3060 comes with 12gb memory had me thinking they'd be fine
I went through with the purchase anyhow, you guys are right I can totally flip them if need be, but it's not a huge shipment from like a factory, just a computer store

digital art on the blockchain is a thing now.
you get a piece of art and the rights to it, and even if someone copies it, it's doesnt have the same blockchain address so it's not original. https://makersplace.com/
i'm a bit intrigued by it but i wouldn't pay big bucks for any of it that's for sure.
this one artist who is big on the scene released a bunch of copies of something for $1, crashing servers and creating a frenzy. https://makersplace.com/beeple/5000-days-selects/
then like an hour later another artist comes along and makes this: https://makersplace.com/satoshi420/b...-1-of-1-48358/
and the current bid for that one is $8500..
