Please everyone. Lets go to MSI and show them that we are good honest people.

Please. No need to troll or be offensive. We need to show MSI that we're not terrorists or money launderers.
We also need to encourage MSI to research Bitcoin and educate their mods on the subject. Please show them that they've been misguided by not being offensive.

Companies like MSI won't listen so I think the best way to force them to change is hit them in their pockets by refusing to buy their products en mass until they relent.Companies hate lost profits due to a public outcry.Now to add MSI to the list of companies that are anti bitcoin,like Apple.

thing they should bear in mind.. the average pc enthusiast MSI customer will buy ONE GPU, and the average bitcoin enthusianst MSI customer will buy 3-4 GPU.

their loss.

I also presume the RMA figures for miners will be much much higher compared to the average pc enthusiast, which will cost MSI a lot of money.
All in all it might be more profitable for them to neglect the market share for miners.

good point.

Thats interesting for me to know but why not takeaway that first GPU sale from MSI by encouraging PC enthusiasts to shop elsewhere.Easy strategy,they don't get business from us,they lose profits and will be forced to surrender,sooner or later especially if they can't sell their GPUs.If everyone worked together in this community to teach bad actors a lesson,then we win

You would think they would have an idea of who is buying all of there cards & look into it as 10 minutes of reading anyone with any common sense would come to the conclusion there's very little illegal to bitcoin/litecoin let alone mining Huh

This type of thing just goes to show how many people still do not understand bitcoin and how it fits into society currently.

Too many people speak too soon on a subject they know very little about.

I see you are pretty gangsta.
I'm pretty gangsta myself.

To be honest 24/7 mining is hardly a "typical" use for ordinary computer hardware (I know I'm preaching to the choir, but still). You'd get a similar response if you asked why your LN2-cooled overclocked processor suddenly decided to fry itself.

Distributed computing, both on CPU and on GPU is nothing new. There are thousands of computers busy on that, crunching for science, for more than ten years. Bitcoin mining is relatively new compared to that.

I did go across to the forums read some of the posts and thought i could help argue but then thought its like convincing a brick wall to move out of your way.

To me MSI is a criminal institution which returns burned motherboards and videocards with a serious defect as non defect and nothing wrong with them to their customers. Which could have a caused a house fire if my very expenssive self bought surge protectors would not had been placed.
So them saying idiot and dangerous things is normal in my view, i will allways try to protect my friends against this company.
Their support is the worst on the planet and does not answer ever in a normal manner.
One advise be smart and never buy from them ever again

1. He was not an MSI employee nor was anyone there representing MSI, so your post is misleading.

2. I think you killed all chance of getting anyone to look at Bitcoin fairly on that forum with your statement:

Quote

"I've made nearly $50k this year mining crypto. All perfectly legal. 3 rigs in my house. Now that is winter the rigs heat my house rather than baseboard heaters. I am making money off heating my house essentially. $300 in electricity gets me nearly $1000 a month in profit."

It sounds like those spam "I made $46,000 this month by going to this website" comment posts to anyone who doesn't know much about Bitcoin. And as someone who's first intro to Bitcoin is that statement, I would immediately dismiss it.

Basically, on the mining side, instead of explaining about electrical cost and transaction processing, you said something like "I'm making tons of money! Bitcoin is awesome!"

I do find it interesting, the responses. It's very interesting socially how people suddenly become very biased and mean when they dislike something. Or even if they are just judging someone by initial impression.

It's too bad he closed the thread. I think forum members here who are also MSI members would have posted some interesting comments in that thread.
