The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

Oh also I started mining on my rigs now and my 390, 1800X make $150-200 a month. May add my RX 570 in and bump it up even more. As they are just sitting around when not gaming and streaming or whatever. Also quite surprised that they make that much but its also nice.

I’m actually glad I’m not playing anymore. 10h a day is too much.
But occasionally I get the urge to play something where you can gather materials for crafting, farm gear, etc.
It’s kind of a love/hate relationship. For months I would avoid and loathe it, then spend most of my days and nights playing.
And so far I haven’t found an MMORPG that does it better than WoW imo.
I also like the lore, graphic style, etc.
But in the end it’s just a huge time and money sink (13€ per month + sometimes mounts or tokens for gold).
If you have an addictive personality you better stay far away from it.

Thanks! Got a whole 20min of sleep xD
Turned out better than expected.
Got 2 dates for info days for classes about office stuff (one more focused on office administration) and a date for an appointment for extending my social benefits.
If one or both classes turn out to be not what I want (like just general babbling about really basic stuff that’s so easy you get trained for it in a day at the actual job), then I can call them and ask for something else.

But those people are fucking sexist! Apparently - from what I’ve been told there - women have a higher budget for classes than men. What about all that ā€œwe want equalityā€?

np, i’m glad it turned out well in the end.

It usually does.
The last class they sent me to was just horrible. One of those ā€œhow to write a cvā€ (for up to 4 months) they put you in just so you don’t appear in the ā€œunemployedā€ statistics. Fortunately I got sick (really, not faking, I’m a terrible liar) and they de-registered me.
So in the end it turned out well.

Massive kek

On an unrelated note… Am going to be testing out one of the sellers from alibaba who has vega 56 for anywhere between $500 and $700 depending on which listing. Will see how that goes I’m very wary of it but am half intrigued to see how it goes. As if its legit then can get two or three and either mine or sell, and if its fake PayPal buyer protection is a thing so.
Also tag of @Dje4321 for reasons

kek well it is BuzzFeed, what do you expect?

Nice Vega 56 is a steal right now at that price. be sure to let us know how that goes.

A quick but painful death. Lots of public humiliation like when Hogan took down Gawker.

With the general GPU prices right now…eh, none of them are a steal if they’re above MSRP.

I agree but given prices right now $500ish for a 56 is a fucking good deal.

But also up to $700, which is shitty and should be boycotted imo. Fuck price hikes like that. Same with RAM. Wanted to get some RAM that’s actually on the support list of my mobo (pricey, but this way I could rule out the RAM as the culprit for the BIOS resets). Not for those prices. And I might not need to get new RAM anyway as I shut down my PC in the morning and turned it back on when I came home (~2h later) and it didn’t reset the BIOS this time.

The seller was quoting $3000-5000 depending on order quantity for 6x Vega 56, a mining mobo, a stick of 8gb, some Pentium, some 120gb ssd, and a 1600 watt PSU.
So basically $500 per gpu min and max like $800
Even at max that’s still not that terrible considering someone sold a 56 on eBay and had enough to get a Titan XP star wars with it lol

Or was that a 64… Either way the prices arent that different on eBay so.

Didnt want to get all those cards at once tho until I verify if the guys legit.

Hm…I should get something to eat but no appetite at all.
Was totally down for Chinese food again, but a few seconds later…meh.

There’s always pizza :stuck_out_tongue:

As much as I love pizza…meh.
No idea why I have no appetite.
I was gonna get gyoza, which I could eat all week long. Not even that was able to motivate me to order something.

Not even for pizza this must be bad. Usually when I have no appetite and we order take out I want some by the time it comes. funny how that happens :frowning:

Maybe just tired but not really feeling it yet. 20min of sleep since yesterday noon. But I’m not feeling tired, just kinda meh.

Ah, fuck it. I ordered Chinese again. If I don’t eat anything today then at least I don’t have to worry about what I’m gonna eat tomorrow.

Hmm. Found a deal on a bitmain antminer S9 that does 14 THs for $1200
To give an idea of profit that can make $500/month mining bitcoin, and probably more doing other sha-256 based algorithm coins.
I’m so tempted lol…
Also could just resell it for $3000+ on eBay so theres also that
