NEW GRAPHICS CARD IS BAD AT CRYPTOMINING ON PURPOSE, MAKER SAYS
TAKE THAT, SCALPERS!“We have really optimized this one to be gaming-first at that target market,” Smith said in the interview. “And you can see that with the way that we configured the part. That’s a really nice frame buffer size for the majority of AAA games, but it’s not particularly attractive if you’re doing blockchain type activities, or mining activities.”

As more celebrities dip their toes in the cryptocurrency world, some weird things are undoubtedly going to happen. Case in point: now Kim Kardashian is getting sued for a “pump and dump” scam involving a bogus altcoin.

- Radioshack as a brand died before most crypto bros were even born...grafician
- it's trying to connect brand value to new markets...atm it's copying the bank business model to get capital, in the future...uan
- ...buy your mining rig hardware box
(which will act as a node in the financial transaction market) from radioshack. (hopefully for them)uan - The brand is dead, there is no value. You meant maybe connecting "nostalgia" to a ponzi scheme?grafician
- so you wouldn't be attracted to step in a new shop in town that has a radioshack logo on it? or even look?
that's brand value.uan - No. It's dead: https://seekingalpha…
Repurposing nostalgia for crypto is cringegrafician - There is equity in the RadioShack brand. It still exists in our thoughts :)monospaced
- Just because they went bankrupt and closed storefronts doesn't mean their brand is dead. The brand is still RadioShack, now in nostalgia form.monospaced
- No public stock ≠ dead brand.monospaced
- That's not how brands work. Just because you remember a long gone company does not make it any more real you dumbass.grafician
- Here's a few more: https://bit.ly/3rnFT…grafician
- ^will you turn these also into crypto companies?grafician
- @monospaced not to mention how the fuck you work in advertising or whatever and you don't know what brands are and how they work...grafician
- Brands absolutely do work like that. Non-existent brands are still brands. Please.monospaced
- "RadioShack is a 100 year old brand embedded into the global consciousness..." They're not wrong. :)monospaced
- And yes, I've worked in some form of advertising for over 15 years. I'm good at it, and my experience backs up my point on the matter.monospaced
- It's okay to keep learning graf. Take advantage of the moment please. For your own good.monospaced
- I'm open to a discussion, but flat out acting like your point of view is the ONLY one that's right is getting weird. Sorry.monospaced
- Lots of people wrongly assume a brand is just a logo and visual identity, or that it only lives if the related company is active. It's okay.monospaced
- You still confuse brands with nostalgia. You're like the MAGA guys - literally. There wasn't a Great America - ever. Wake up and learn some basic brandinggrafician
- Oh and many if not all the stuff I say are well known facts, not my problem you idiots barely know anything about the world and how things workgrafician

So what's the point of buying DOGE with USD to buy Tesla's stuff when Tesla still charges you in USD equivalent of DOGE?
- well if you bought doge 1 year ago. the point would be you are now buying a tesla in less USD than had you not bought doge and kept that USD until now.shapesalad
- No. You don't get it - ofc.
It's about this: https://www.theverge…grafician - The Tesla stuff is in USD equivalent of DOGE. So why transfer USD > DOGE to pay in DOGE? What's DOGE use here?grafician
- It doesn't have a use beyond gambling. Give this a year, probably a lot less, and crypto will crash and stay close to reality.formed

- @shapesalad, that is spot on, and it's good to see you truly get it.monospaced
- If you happen to have Dogecoin, you can buy some stuff with it. It's pretty straightforward.monospaced
- I asked something else: if you don't have DOGE NOW and you buy DOGE with USD to pay for Tesla products charged in UdSD equivalent of DOGE why do you need DOGE?grafician
- None. Weird question.monospaced
- Right. Well NOT ALL people own DOGE you dumbass, but SOME people want some Tesla merch. Now you get it?grafician
- the fact that you don't really have a reason to use crypto in this case (or any other practical case) makes it useless and all involved = idiotsgrafician
- You’re being super weird.monospaced
- Enjoy the well deserved and rightly earned hate you sad bitter little fuck. Mean ass little bugger you are. Mad at everything.monospaced
- You literally can’t talk here without insulting and condescending. That’s why people hate your euro trash ass.monospaced
- You can call me an idiot a million times and you’re still wrong.monospaced

Will any of these coins ever "split" like a stock does? I realize you're just buying a hash, so my immediate thought is no. However, since you can own fractions of a bitcoin, it's certainly possible.
The reason I mention this is: If this ever gets used as a mainstream currency, pricing things at 0.000056 bitcoins is going to be idiotic. Could you imagine verbally conveying the price to someone? "Yeah, it's gonna fifty-six one-hundred-thousandths of a bitcoin".
Bro, what?

I read this article this morning about NGOs getting money to Afghans via crypto. Thought it was a great use case and one I think a lot of people hoped and expected would occur.
