So after digging into this for 3 hours, i still cant comprehend how people are buying this shit
Then i said, lets roll the dice, and put my 120$ of crypto to use to make one.
Checked my bittrex account from 2017, sure enough, that 120$ is now 1900$ filled with doge, xvg, rdd, etc
An hour later of messing around, with no clue whats happening half the time, i have my own NFT
Sold some doge into eth > created rarible account > had to make a fortmatic account > transfered bittrex eth to fortmatic > created nft from one of my old weed photos > made 2 more accounts on niftygateway and opensea > niftygateway you need to use their creation software? Could not understand thefuq is going on there so i supposably lost 10 nfts > transfered another 10 to opensea > listed for sale
From start to finish, i burned 100$usd creating and transferring coins and nfts
I still dont understand 80% of what just happened, but here it is https://opensea.io/assets/0xd07dc426...61d2430/212017 and an update to my nicehash mining off my laptop, let it run for 10 days, return of 14$ to the wallet, ultra sketchy software, multiple virus programs did not like the miners, uninstalled

I ordered 2 3080's yesterday from https://blankgroup.ca/product/zotac-...-10-gb-gddr6x/ Paid $2,486.62 US. Price has now gone up. Check my status today on the website and it says back ordered. The fact I can put 120 cards into the shopping cart makes me believe its a scam. Will give it 5 days then call my cc company.

However, mining on a laptop isn't worth it, so I am glad you turned that.
I make that much in one day with a RTX 3080.

The rest are just greedy people ripping each other off, and hoping to get in and out at the right time. There's no reason for dogecoin to exist or "be profitable" except for the simple fact that people are buying and selling it.

I've still got a few 3080 preorders with set availability dates (from amazon) and my 3060s in the mail, but I'm done with growing my rig collection for now, maybe for the year even, see how things go from now on, and hopefully recoup my costs
I just need a couple more psu's tho, made an order from Japan for two Super Flower ones (they make evgas high powered ones), the shop said they had two in stock, but now they've updated my shipping to a month later -_-
Wanted to use em to power the 3060s, now I'm thinking about getting a couple of those 8/12 gpu server cases that come with a mb/psu/etc

You can replace the fans in them with 40mm Noctuas to turn them reasonably quiet.

I Will contact mikes tomorrow. A family member wanted to build a new computer. Walked into memx today and got an Asus 3070. Got them to build the whole computer so that might have had something to do with it.

Got my superflower leadex psus in today, the cables... They use a mix of 16-20awg wires tf... The pcie daisy chain uses 20awg wires while the main 8pins use 16, I could understand dropping to 18awg for the daisy chain (even tho I'd be annoyed) but down to 20? -_-
Not that I'll be using the daisy chain portion, but still

Sad. My 3080 Ventus was nonstop giving me black screens earlier tonight when I was gaming and it looks like it's completely dead now. System wouldn't output anything until I put in an older card.
Anyone have one they're looking to get rid of? Has to be a Ventus since I have a waterblock for it, lol.
