  • The Merge

    From Oli@21:3/102 to All on Fri Sep 16 10:01:11 2022
    Finally some good news from the block clowns:

    'Ethereum completes the "Merge," which ends mining and cuts energy use by 99.95%'

    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/09/ethereum-completes-the-merge-which-ends-mining-and-cuts-energy-use-by-99-95/

    Now we have more free GPU power for gaming, browsing bloated websites and electron apps. Web3 will be the shit ;)

    Man this is great. Hopefully GPU costs tumble.

    If this thing will be actually true (gotta actually inform myself more about how REALLY mining works), finally it will be the time that GPU prices becomes normal again... Well, unless scalping happens.

    You can bet your last penny scalping will happen. It's like death and taxes these days...

    Well, looks like's already happening. I also heard these cleverheads "paint" their GPUs they used to mine making they look less "used" than they are.

    Actually, it would be pretty hard now to see if an used GPU is good or not.

    ... Enter any 12-digit prime number to continue.
