> [@97eclipse](#): > > Modest meaning starting out with 1 or 2 cards for now. Perhaps with room to grow to 4 or 6 total later down the road. This would only be used for mining. What cards do you recommend? How realistic is it to keeping the starting cost under 1k. Any direction you could give would be helpful. Thanks. > > On a side note, I had no idea that cards were so scarce these days. I would imagine this is a direct result of the crypto hype. i’d say it all depends on the $ you want to spend and the availability, personally I work with amd cards, always have. I know the ins and outs of them for the most part. i’d say for two card rig you could probably build it around 1k with a couple of rx480/580 right now a couple places have them under 300$ the most difficult thing i’ve found is if you are building to support 4-6 cards, really if you are looking at anything over 4 cards per rig you have to be very picky on the motherboard you get. the one i bought said it could support 6, but after some more research, people were having trouble getting more than 4 to work. it took me days of trying different things to get the 5th card up and running, I wont be going with that same board next time ---

This latest drop started when coinmarketcap removed several big South Korean indexes from their price calculations and any coin that traded heavily in SK saw an instant 10 to almost 20% drop in value. That kind of drop sets off two things, automated orders and panic selling, which just causes more selling. What’s interesting is once the reason for the drop became public knowledge you would expect the money to flow back in and prices to recover but that hasn’t happened. My guess is a lot of that new money from Coinbase credit card investors jumping in with money they didn’t really have found out that crypto isn’t all 100% gains every 5 days and they bailed. Looking at the credit card bill they can’t pay growing by 20+% interest while the coin they bought too late because it was near the top of the curve drop in value caused some serious FUD and they cashed out their losses and moved on. Meanwhile I sit here holding while complaining to my buddy that my gains on LTC, XRP, and TRX are **“only”** 115%, 48% and 185% respectively on a game I started 12/2/17. Go look at the gains for all of 2017 on your 401k (You have a 401k right? If not WTF are you doing in here?) for some perspective. ---

When TRX goes from .29c to .11c and I am still 275% over my initial investment, I think it’s pretty good. The news will be “bubble burst, crypto crash” but most of us are still way up lol. I will keep buying things up on the low. Just wait for tax season guys Also I think the red you are seeing is more on the “top tier” of the market cap of coins because people are redistributing trying to get into the small market cap coins most of which arent on Binance, with the idea that they will become rich quick. Looking at total market cap it is hovering around 710+ but the money is being dumped into something else. BTC dominance keeps going down - - - Updated - - - > [@travisn](#): > > Refer back to posts 794, 797-799 of this thread. You mean somebody accidentally sent it to me? ---
