That this "Doge" Coin mining craze has raised the price of graphics cards in the last month alone almost 200/300% on some cards... WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT MINING DOGE COINS!

Sorry, I am just pissed that a graphics card that would normally cost me $175 is $432 on newegg and amazon atm.

It has the potential to rival the other digital currencies in the future, or at least people think that. Massive profits are motivation enough.

"in the future"

That'd be tough seeing as how the coins would be owned by thousands of people anonymously. Also, the benefit of investment is in the future.

If, the opportunity presented itself.. The owner of the dog would sue.. People have sued for a lot less.. there was one woman in the UK that tried suing the country for using "her" air.. then she tried putting a patent on it. Especially, considering that the off chance the owner of the dog could receive any money.. even $5.00 is better then $0.00

She could also sue for the use of the doge meme, but:

  • She's a kindergarten teacher from Japan, greedy people normally go into different jobs
  • Like I said, thousands of anonymous people. Bitcoin was used for drugs and illegal purchases, dogecoin can be too.

Except the legal fees would probably be several orders of magnitude higher, and they would most likely be laughed out of court anyway.

FYI the owner of the dog(e) wouldn't/couldn't sue the users of dogecoin.. The owner would sue the creator of dogecoin, if they felt like going through the process of lawyers, traveling to the owners country, etc etc etc. Which would be extremely doubtful.

Right, You must really be butt-hurt for some reason. You go on ranting about me "needing to get a job" here.. and then start spamming my Steam profile comments.. Nice mate.

Let me tell you something, Anyone who tells someone to "go get a job" because they can't "afford" something either is A: Living off there Parents. or, B: A Rich Spoiled Little Brat. Now, I am going to go with the latter.. and, say you never worked a day in your Life. Unfortunately, Unlike you which you must believe Money grows on trees. Money sadly doesn't.. Some people.. Like me work for our money and don't want to spend a exorbitant amount on a graphics card. Now, I may not work a "investment company" job. But, I do work sometimes 24hr shifts.. or more. Saving assholes like you who think that they are invincible. now grow some balls(doubtful you have any to grow) and you find a job little brat.

Edit: Also, I closed my comments and deleted the ones you left.. Have fun spamming me in here now.


As for the people that are actually contributing to this thread.. Any graphics cards not hit by the super coin inflation? and, TBH I think when I looked at the coin(s) and mining isn't it a tad risky to be farming as coins change dramatically and most people like I have electric bills and I can only imagine 3/4 gfx cards mining coins can probably get extremely expensive power wise that would make it almost not worth mining.

They make me involved in a conversation I otherwise would have no part of it. In a strange way, they might sometimes be good for us.

Condolences that you can't wait to find a good deal nor a fair priced video card especially in USA.

Price jump actually happened last November because of litecoin mining. Dogecoin was introduced in December. Prices have actually dropped since that peak.

Wait, dogecoin isn't a joke? Is it still worthless?

Watch as Nvidia and AMD are actually working together behind the scenes to create new fad cryptocurrencies so that they can sell their graphics cards for higher prices

It's a conspiracy!

I want it to be a joke so badly, but it's not and it's actually worth something. They raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Jamaican bobsled team during the Olympics too, so I guess they aren't all bad.
