LOL. Sorry this guy had to go through this even though he might have also had to spend quite a bit of time to mine before he saw any returns worth talking about.

Speed-Racer2337d ago

I don't need to do it to know that Bitcoin mining doesn't make sense at this point as an individual.

DarkZane2338d ago

I don't even feel sorry for the guy. Crypto miners are the worst scum ever and they're the reason video cards prices have gone up significantly.

lindquist2337d ago

Thats really agressive. If they buy a lot of video cards, the prices might go down - which can be good for other people.

General Shrooms2337d ago

Miners are buying cards in droves, supply is down, prices are up. Cards are selling $200+ msrp right now.

Cobra9512337d ago

Try up to 3X MSRP, not just +$200.

feedurhabit2337d ago

Mate guys like this buying prebuilts with a single graphics card aren't the reason prices are going up, it's people buying 10+ cards at a time to go into the makeshift mining farms they've setup in their dad's shed.

EazyC2337d ago

That's ridiculous, how can you blame someone for trying to make a bit of money? The onus is on manufacturers to equate demand with their supply, not blame those buying it.

i may be biased here but somehow hearing bad things happen to crypto-miners makes me laugh.
