That is right. More and more coin will be asic resistant and could be mined with GPU.

Imagine playing Battlefield with 8 1080s? Oh yeah, max settings.

OT, you know, these coins I'm holding are often ridiculed, called worthless and shitcoins, if they spiked in value, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Just saying.

vertcoin is still alive.

It seems to be quite the opposite as demand for GPU cards keeps increasing- hence the higher prices.  If anything, GPU mining will continue to gain steam in 2018 along with new ASIC resistant algos.

I think gpu mining will not die in the near future. not only there will  be new mineable coins in the future, but there are also many up-and-coming projects that will offer new ways of earning compensation for gpu computation. so I think we will not find it as dead in 2018.

Though I'm not that into the algorithms used by some cryptos, I've heard that some coins can only mined by a CPU or GPU and they cannot be mined by ASIC

Doubt it will be the case but it will seriously hurt it, and VR options, if gamers can't get their hands easily on the high end cards.

PC gaming will die in 2018!

Hello, i think that mining hardware cant die easily because there are a lot of interested people behind, i really believe that the cryptomining will be quite different in 2018....lets see then

just be aware heat pump hot water heaters will need to drain condensate somewhere.

Yeah I did the same thing when I first started seeing his crazy chatter.  When people start talking total non-sense over and over with a broad outlook, you look deeper for the real answer.  Thank you for putting them all in one place for everyone to see.  He's a moron to say the least.  He's probably more like mentally retarded without the offical diagnosis.  All of that said, he could have an agenda, which doesn't make him an idiot.  But the fact that he thinks he can move markets alone, puts him back into the mental retardation space.  

I honestly think he has lost a lot of money and spreads his anti-cheer based on the fact that his therapist isn't giving him good enough medication.  He probably needs to be in a padded room with a straight jacket on.

Well they did essentially divert all their Samsung memory allocation on the 1060s to mining cards and those mining cards are roughly 33% fast on Ethash and 10-15% on Equihash because of it. Still doesn't warranty buying a card with no display outputs though.

Perhaps they're producing at their max. If that's the case, they may not want to make the investment to increase production, knowing that they'd indirectly be gambling on the fate of GPU-mineable cryptocurrencies, in that the inflated demand and market price of their product is tied to the ability to produce revenue for the user.

Keep in mind that in the days before cryptocurrencies, gaming GPUs were used for just that; gaming. Other applications, such as Folding@Home and whatnot, were negligible in comparison. Generally gamers would only need one card, perhaps two (although crossfire/SLI back then were even less efficient than now) per system, and the greatest typical upgrade rate was once every generation of GPUs, if that. This is in stark contrast with the demands of today, where a nonnegligible number of GPU miners each desire many graphics cards (even for home miners, this is far beyond the aforementioned 1-2 per user).

Or perhaps they purposefully limit production knowing that many of the cards they release will eventually flood the used graphics card market in the future, and the more powerful units of current generations will likely remain competitive with the lower-mid tier units of later generations.

Or perhaps they're reserving many units for their own mining farms. It's all speculation. :p



If prices and warranty policies were more competitive with normal gaming cards, I could see more people considering them. Until then, they probably won't help the situation.

Also, why in hell they don't promote more the mining versions, with no video. There has to be a way to add some mining optimizations to those cards and sell to miners, that will leave gamers alone.

Why don't they simply make more, LOL
it is not that 1070 and 1080 need any special memory like Vegas do.

It's very simple to understand and people don't need to react or panic, this equihash is made for asic resistance meaning any kind of asic don't get penetrate in this kind of algo... Brother who wrote this thread my simple advice is STOP DRINKING HARD COFFEE you really scared the people who reading your post... Just kidding!!   

BTG was premined 100,000 coins. Its almost like an ICO but less premine.

My bet is on BTCZ which is Bitcoin 2.0. Very fast almost instant transactions from mobile to mobile with nice app on Android. Zero Premine. Great developers. Super hard to find even to buy. Still easy to mine although difficulty and price have jumped lately.

If I was in the southern hemisphere and dealing with heat issues I would definitely consider dumping my cards for insane inflated prices and just buy back at lower prices. The savings could be used to buy coins directly since everything is on sale compared to December prices.

In northern hemisphere many are enjoying the "free" heat so miners are not as annoying. I wish this shortage had hit 6 months ago, I would have dumped all my older cards back then.

a single rx500 is not making $4 a day where do u get that number from?
more likw $2.50 a day max

No  the demand is wonderfully high.

If it were horrendous prices would be 160 or 200
