GPU prices are coming down, particularly if you can find a short-term sale. Just one week after Ethereum successfully completed The Merge, and in the midst of the Nvidia RTX 40-series launch announcement, graphics cards simply can’t hold on to their previous value. If you’re looking for one of the best graphics cards, we’ll show…
The Ethereum Merge has occurred, and as expected, GPU mining profitability has plummeted. Will things eventually recover, or will the best graphics cards finally be free from the cryptomines? We’re anticipating a flood of used graphics cards hitting places like eBay, so we wanted to grab this snapshot in time of GPU prices on eBay…
The long anticipated “merge” event for the Ethereum blockchain is finally happening, and it’s a great day for any gamers out there looking to get the next-gen Nvidia Lovelace graphics cards (such as the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090) that we’re anticipating in the next few weeks. Ethereum is the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, and…
Bitcoin and Ethereum’s pricing has seemingly gathered upward momentum, as the world’s most popular and valuable cryptocurrencies have seen substantial value increases over the weekend. As reported by CoinDesk, Bitcoin climbed 5%, opening Monday morning above the $22,000 mark for the first time since June’s bloodbath-inducing crash (to the tune of 34%). Ethereum, which is…
Bitmain launched (opens in new tab) its long-awaited Antminer E9 system today. The firm claims that one Antminer E9 system has the crypto-computing power to match 25 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards. That is quite an achievement, which Bitmain measures in Ethereum mining performance terms. In brief, the Antminer E9 is capable of 2,400…
Cryptocurrencies aren’t faring well as we hit the second weekend in June. Ethereum has been hit particularly hard in recent hours. Not only has the broader cryptocurrency market seen a sell-off in the wake of the current US inflation report (opens in new tab), but Ethereum developers are also indicating that the merge will be…
Ethereum’s oft-delayed and long-in-development change in consensus mechanism, dubbed as “The Merge”, has been once again delayed from its expected June deployment. Ethereum developer Tim Beiko confirmed via Twitter that the network’s transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is still in its finishing stages, and should be deployed a few months after the scheduled June date. The delay…
Cryptocurrency holders are currently bracing for precipitous drops on the value of their portfolios, as the cumulative market value of cryptocurrencies has just bled the equivalent of $250 billion in less than 24 hours. The market downturn is being attributed to the Evergrande turmoil, which sparked concerns for a potentially catastrophic debt default in China,…
Reports on Nvidia aiming to repurpose its A100 compute accelerator as a Crypto Mining Processor accelerator surfaced as early as March of this year. The intermediate radio silence has now been broken, with purported photographs and screenshots of a repurposed A100 surfacing as a rebranded CMP 170HX. There’s plenty to chew over, but as this…
Ethereum has skirted through what could possibly be a catastrophic event, after the main Ethereum blockchain was forced to split due to the severity of a known bug. The bug was found in the Geth software – which is deployed by around 75% of all user on the Ethereum network. Geth is mostly used as…
