As someone who actually wants to (correction: wanted to, since I can't, not any more) buy a graphics card for something other than this mining shit, I find this entire gold rush craze rather annoying. Apart from that, I don't really like it when someone registers a HN account and literally one second later submits a ShowHN to an affiliate article (without the Show HN tag, of course). And even further, mining gold rushes run counter to actually establishing crypto currencies for use as a, you know, currency — though I personally have no opinion one way or the other there. (On the other hand, chances seem fairly good that this gold rush will collapse as well, and then miners will have to dump their cards quickly on eBay or whatever). > The risers that we are going to use are probably some of the highest quality in the industry: Actual quality is supplied by folks like amfeltec.
