I currently mine Vertcoin (this month). January will be Monero and then Karbowanec (February) and then Monacoin (March). One coin per month, just for kicks.
Yes I bought a video card for gaming but I only do that for 2h a day, meaning it would idle for 22h a day, and being watercooled means it reaches 49 degrees Celsius tops while mining at any point in time, that's lower temperature than a regular aircooled card during idle.
Um, no. This ridiculous argument was flung around for years and was always wrong. The 5 dollars a day you make NOW do multiply by themselves as time goes by. My 3 dollars a day from one year ago are now 55. My 3 dollars a day from August are now 12. I know people who spend a couple grands on GPUs 7 months ago and what they mined using those GPUs is now worth four grands if not more. One guy cashed out the two grands last month and all he makes now is profit.
Sure, Bitcoin might tank and the investment might never pay off, but that doesn't make the assumption any less wrong. The X dollars a day from today might be worth a lot more or a lot less in the future. So far the former was true. I don't know if the trend is going to continue, personally I give it 6 months, maybe a year until it tanks.
With that being said, I agree that it makes no sense to buy a 3k card for mining only, and not even for mining+gaming. The fact remains, after you read the articles and reviews: Volta is a great architecture step-up, with excellent efficiency and plenty raw power to boot. The baseline has been established, looking forward to see normally-priced cards based on this architecture. Until then, I'm happily mining with my single water-cooled GTX 1080 and making bits of virtual currency without hope of being rich. It's like a lil' hobby of mine.

No way would I hire someone who feels 'heard and understood' after an exchange with a chat bot. This is somebody without the social skills to have anyone in their life to talk to, and will spill to a dumb text parser. How can you have the intellectual capacity to understand what a chat bot is and still gain any emotional benefit from interacting with one?
Many people become IT engineers because this type of jobs allow them to isolate from society as much as possible while still being productive and earning money. Yes, they would feel more comfortable talking to a chat bot. There's also the type of people who were severely betrayed by others while their character was forming (e.g. during childhood or teenage years). They grew up to distrust other human beings. Yes, it's pathological but the issue is still there. Those chatbots might be a step towards opening up to another human being, or they could just sink the affected person deeper into their mistrust towards other human beings. I don't know. But I know that to some people, chatbots are appealing.
And I don't give a flying fuck if that IT engineer feels better talking to a chatbot as long as that makes him happier and he's productive at work. After all, it's a business and he's hired to work productively.
I have listed things that have value now, but back then when they were a concept or novelty, they were perceived as valueless. Only time shall tell whether cryptocurrencies have value or not.
Well I "lost" 125 dollars there, but in reality I lost about 50 bucks which was how much the electricity bill for the miner will cost me. If this would have happened Saturday, my losses would have been zero.
No biggie, only now I have to find another simple to use miner.

Micrometeorites or other space junk smashing through it are anything but predictable.
You can't here it if you're there.

Valid for everything in the Universe.
Oh no, since when is ETH the only mineable cryptocurrency out there?
Hopefully never. I'm an asshole, and competition ain't good.
Um, no.

The one who doesn't shed hair, bark, stink, shit and leave "snail tracks" all over the place.
And me axe!
I guess those fractions represent missing arms, legs and other appendages.
No, people wished for this years ago.

I for one mostly do things so as to reduce the odds of being fucked by my government when I'm old.
FTFY. See? I'ts all about sex.
Haven't you come already, and more than once?
You want productive? Hire an IT engineer who has a chatbot therapist.

Bitcoin and anything remotely related to this fraud is doomed to fail and it's going to fail very hard.
That has been said about:
- books
- cars
- trains
- airplanes
- radio
- TV
- Internet for the masses
- Trump.
Some people are worse at guessing than others?

I don't... achievement unlocked.
Yeah it feels like yesterday I commented on this... or was it two days ago?
Stop focusing on the fucking coffee. That was NOT the point FFS.
I'll probably be dead in 10, with nobody to remember me. Maybe my kids and wife, highly doubt it though.
