effectively impossible to regulate or ban.

Its actually pretty easy, just shut down exchanges and that is the end of it. It would be pretty easy as well wit most of the world having laws to prevent money laundering.

Bunun gibi dizüstü bilgisayarları ve elektrikli tuğlaları istiflemek, er ya da geç madencilik deposunu yakmanın kesin bir yoludur. Dünyanın geri kalanı için bir kazan-kazan, sadece çevre için kötü. Madenciler aşırı pahalı oyun dizüstü bilgisayarları satın almak istiyorsa, bırakın. Aklı başında hiç kimse, sahip olabileceği tek bilgisayar olmadığı sürece bir dizüstü bilgisayara binlerce harcama yapmamalıdır, o zaman bile, içindeki bileşenlerin azaltılması için fazla ödeme yapıyorsunuz. Madencilerin, yerine geçebileceklerinden daha hızlı yanacak MSI, ASUS vb. Üreticilerin bunları garanti kapsamında kapsamayı kabul etmemelerini umalım. 

Such graphics cards have become very difficult to find. they did not leave a video card in the market. still plenty of earnings for everyone ...

*adds another company to the "companies behaving badly, do not buy from" list.

how are they behaving badly? no ones entitled to a card.

If someone wants to buy 8 3070's to mine crypto, let them, it's their GPU, at least they're open about it and not trying to pull PR stunts like NVIDIA themselves did with throttling just *ethereum* mining.

Why bother selling GPU's when you can just build them and never sell them, just make your own mining warehouse abusing using your partnership with nvidia.

 

Honestly I hope nvidia makes AIB's unable to build, market or sell gaming gpu's for mining. Like why even bother selling the AIB's any good chips at all then.

that would be a PR nightmare if people found out, which would impact some future sales and what not

but the keyword is "if people found out", so who knows whats going on behind the curtains

you literally explained why.

This is honestly part of why I have slowly moved away from PC gaming.  I went through two mining crazes now and it's irritating when I do want to upgrade... well anything.  I'm mostly happy with my setup but I would like to replace my RX 590.  LMAO I can't.

It struggled with settings I like to play at (for a single player game), in Jedi Fallen Order.

Now sure, 9th gen consoles are hard to find right now.  But I own a PS4, Xbox One S, and Switch.  I always liked to collect games while my main platform was PC for a few years now.
But Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury just came out as an example.  I didn't need to upgrade my GPU or CPU for the Switch.  I just walked into Walmart, paid $50, and went home and played it.  (walmart sells new switch games at $50 instead of $60 btw, in store only).

And with this happening again, yeah.  I see the appeal.  I don't have to worry if my hardware is up to snuff for the latest game.  I just walk into a store and buy it, pop it in the console, and just play.  

 

Plus as someone mentioned way earlier with electricity used, the environmental impact of miners.
