Here's a crazy idea: What if Nvidia raised the prices to the current scalper prices, but every additional dollar was returned as credit that you could spend on indie games or hardware?
(You would probably have to restrict the hardware to just hardware that's not useful for mining, e.g. monitors)
- azornathogron 6y agoThat is an interesting idea, but I assume you'd see things like scalpers using the credits and selling the "useless" extra hardware or games to recover much of the cost. Maybe the extra friction and losses for the scalpers would be enough to push things in the right direction?
- piinbinary 6y agoYeah, good point. Maybe it could be restricted to physical goods sent to the same address as the card (which miners could still flip, but it's better than nothing)
