I've read similar estimates of its upper cap. I think bitcoin is probably the most stable of cryptos, but as we've seen it can swing to wild heights in less than a year, but still not the kind of crazy that a smaller >$0.01 coin can do. I'm going to either be holding onto all the bitcoin I...

Honestly I had already bought my 3070 at scalper prices when I was watching a normally "Tech" youtube channel that recommended buying a card at the scalper prices and using it to mine part-time to recoup the extra money you spent over MSRP. Buying a second card was in response to seeing the...

That may very well be a thing that happens. It's mostly something fun to do, the amount I want to get from this is nothing compared to my job, so if it doesn't work it's not like I can't make my mortgage. And I've already made $300 so if it just holds at this profitability for another month or...

I think you needed to post this in another thread, but you're shitposting, so it's always right!

I forgot about this game! Even with a 3090 I've heard people getting crap framerate. But I'd like to point out that most people have heard of/played Cyberpunk. Whereas Flight Simulator seems more like an enthusiast game.

Yay! @maynard added me to his sig! I feel important now. Also, it was a super meta comment spanning two threads lol.

That is the question. Technically the 3080 won't be obsolete until the 5000 series since it's a pretty high end card of this series. But it also only has that 10gb of VRAM which is a limiting factor. The 3070 is a different story, but I think people throw around the word Obsolete too much. I...

Good work! I had forgotten to forget this thread.

I have solar panels so a good chunk of my electricity is made by those. But I do live in California, so the base starts at $0.23 and I think it goes up to $0.37 at the max. But even at that rate these two cards are good enough that they make money. As I said, I won't get rich off them, but I...

I bought a 3070 off ebay and then saw a guy talking about mining with it while you're not gaming so I gave it a try. It does actually make some decent money per day, nothing to get you rich, but it offsets the increased price of scalped prices. So I figured that while mining is paying out well...

I'll grant you the BMM does have trading stalls to be a mobile merchant. But it does also have six times the carry capacity of a C2 or Carrack. So if a BMM is capable of landing and taking off a planet somewhat easily, it'll definitely be a contender for shipping to orbit. But I'm not sure if...

I suppose it just forces a split as the new 3060 will be crap for mining but they're also creating a new line of the 3060 just for mining. So there will be wafers going towards non-gaming cards and still cause a shortage. And scalpers will buy those up, so nothing will really change.

For a more specific scenario, let's take Rock Raiders, TEST's premiere mining operation. They land on a planet with dozens of Moles, Prospectors, Rocs, and they build a storage warehouse with a Pioneer to fill up with thousands of SCU of ore. How do you get massive quantities from the surface...

Let's not forget the Hercules series is specifically built as a sort of landing zone drop ship for planets. The Carrack is built more for space travel. Those VTOL thrusters will allow you to come in much hotter than a Carrack will. Resupplying a warzone is something the Hercules can do that...

Just from a stats perspective the C2 and the A2 seem to be the only viable ships for me. The C2 has a pretty massive cargo capacity or can carry bigger ground vehicles. The M2 has a few extra guns and lower cargo. The A2 has an OK cargo capacity or carry 1 Tonk, but it's got a ton more guns...

Oh yeah, I didn't mean to imply they were actually lazy, I know they have a whole other set of work and challenges. But it's funny to think of some "old timer" programmer being like, "You call that code?! We had to fit three hundred levels on a 5 and 1/4 floppy!"

hehe....maynard Strange tangent, but I was once watching a documentary about programmers from the 8/16 bit era and they were talking about how they had to do all sorts of crazy things with code to fit their games onto those roms. And how once they got really good at it they could fake things...

hehe.....load.

Amazing! Wish I could have done the event, but I either kept crashing or got into servers where it just ended.

Such a great vid! Also, fuck you!
