Hi everyone,

I was wondering when (you think) the mining hassle wil be over so we can get GPU on normal pricings... I want to help 2 friends building PC's but there are no GTX 1070 nor a RX 580 on the normal price. 
Anyone who has any ideas?

Thanks!

It's already toning down a bit.

My guess (just a guess) is that the mining will be done in ~1-2 months, but that it'll take more for prices to return to normal. 

 

A reference price that I use as normal is a 6gb 1060 being available at 200 - the price I got mine for.

That will be great! I was just wondering: why do you think so?

I say soon, because ethereum prices are going down and difficulty is increasing. 

I just Hope it dies soon, and miners go to hell :)

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.
