Today  I was lucky no Newegg Shuffle but Best Buy had a drop of nvidia cards.

I tried to get one for the 30th time since October and I finally snagged a card at msrp. from Best Buy the pny 3090


https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-geforce-rtx-3090-24gb-xlr8-gaming-epic-x-rgb-triple-fan-graphics-card/6432657.p?skuId=6432657


it was 1799 + 120 tax = 1919 I will get 107 back in gift card money so net will 1812

In for another you weren't selected email on the 3070!

Shuffle ends in 2 hours 17 min!

they have an asus 3070
they have a play station
they have a sapphire 6800xt

And if you still have some older generation cards running, it takes more time for them to become phased out/out classed/not profitable/not worth the space and time-due to higher efficiency/hashrate of "new generation" cards.

Well it is easier to think this if you have 60+ cards mining with most fully paid off.

if that's actually the case...for me, I also appreciate the situation hehe 

Actually this is better.  So far it appears to have way more staying power this way.

I rather a forced slow gear acquirability for miners than too much too soon.

I think the gpu shortage and chip shortage it preventing the diff from growing to 650th

Last I looked we were at 437th on Sun the 7th of march 2021

On June 8 2020 we were at 185th
from below
https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate

so 437/185 = a factor of 2.362


prices from below

https://etherscan.io/chart/etherprice

march 10 2021 =  1795
June 8.     2020 =   244. a factor of 7.356


gas from this chart

https://etherscan.io/chart/gasprice

41 gwei June 8 2020

134 gwei March 10 2021.  a factor of 3.268


so 3.268 x 7.356 = 24.03/ 2.362 = 10.177 x  better to mine now. Than June of 2020


Cards accordingly became more valuable.

I listed this sale in marketplace to illustrate either poor forward thinking or good forward thinking by Bitcointalk miners.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sold-feeler-bids-or-offers-for-evga-3080-msicorsair-1080ti-seahawk-sold-5320394


I am basically offering a free 1080ti along with an expensive 3080 no takers so far.  The deal would be 2100 to 2200 hundred vs 2900-3100 on ebay.

I listed this offer and no one took it.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-have-a-5700xt-coming-next-week-new-in-box-feelers-for-selling-it-5308136


The 5700 xt xfx is now pretty much a winner. Since it has mined for 60 days  making 4.50 profit each day or 270 back.  So people were not confidant in buying it at 600 vs 900 on ebay.

So a poor decision by the market on the xfx 5700 xt offered by me.

Fear of losing out by paying a mark up hurt someone that could have grabbed it.

Back to today no gear for you is the general message all over the world.  I think this will extend the run a long time. As it creates the perception that value exists.

2021 will be the most amazing bull run we have ever seen.

yesterday day a grabbed an evga 3080  3897 for 1300 six months to pay.

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3897-KR. it is 880 plus 61 tax or 941

So I was marked up 359 usd is this stupid on my part. well in 40 days I will have earned the marked up back and in 100 more the card is free.

I laid out 0 cash have 6 months to pay it off. I would buy this card again if offered this deal.

I say keep the card shortage going.

LOL, this bullrun looks pathetic for GPU miners haha

last cycle: we bought the biggest and baddest GPU (1080ti), and then we scratch the buying/building itch by buying one after the other.

this cycle: shuffle on mid range GPU?   

Same here, nothing for me either.

Thank you

But I got the Newegg.com - Philip, You Weren’t Selected In The Newegg Shuffle. email today booo



But

 BTC= $55,500+
ETH = $1850+

Damn missed it today!  Good luck everybody else!

I will forgive the other 20 or so you weren't selected emails if I can order the 3060 ti this time!

same 

In for a you didn't get selected email!

Newegg shuffle just started.

I have done lots of rigs in the garage and got decent results for under 100 bucks worth of Fire + Moving blankets.

Fireblankets arriving tueesday.  I'll post pics on the experiment.

Okay then get a few fire blankets

do rigs >> fire blankets >> moving blanket

a tent or a curtain setup will help

Thanks Phil.  I actually have those blankets from my recent move.  I have one rig in an empty bedroom but it has Vega's in it which are really loud.  I have another rig and some of sidehack's  r606 in the garage that I am going to need to move as its starting to get too warm in there for them.  Going to try and devise something to quiet both of the mining rigs.

There is truth to this.  Eth is back to 1720 today.  I still think it can top 3k in the next 3-6 months.
