Fucking bitcoin miners are making graphics cards I have no intention of buying right now more expensive and it makes me mad.

How am I supposed to spec out a machine when the graphics card is $150 more than it usually is?

Fuck Bitcoin, Ethereum is where it's at and doesn't have that problem.

@nblackburn whether its bitcoin or some other hipster cryptocurrency it's making muh cards more expensive.

@spongessuck No because Ethereum is designed to prevent dedicated hardware being used to mine it.

At least you can buy one. A lot of people that mine Ethereum would gladly pay 150$ more if they could :D

@wolt, point taken, I'm open to an explanation as to why they suddenly are, then.

Dude, you keep one thing in mind
Those hipsters have got everything they can get to mine as fast as possible, leaving the sites out of stock almost all the time, and even if available with any seller, it's over priced, that's why these miners are assholes

@wolt exactly. ASIC beats gpu mining by a huge factor. You can't mine shit with gpu anymore...

Eupherium mining is your enemy.
It gets mined by graphic cards mostly. AMD cards are way better at it (price to performance anyway) and that's why they are all gone or very expensive.
