My major complaint against crypto right now is what it is doing to the price of GPUs. People can no longer afford them, which is really worrying for indie devs

- Gigachad 5y agoCrypto mining isn’t causing GPU prices. All cards are expensive and the vast majority of them are useless for mining. The PS5 is still hard to find but useless for mining.
- TimJRobinson 5y agoThis will be going away next year. Ethereum is the main thing people use GPU mining for and that is moving to proof of stake in the next 6 months. When that happens there will be a flood of cards hitting the market.
