How much waas the 290x before the whole mining craze

$550.

Had to be like $700 tops.

I know the R9 280X was at about $380-$390ish and now that shyt is about $500 for the lowest priced cards on newegg.

People need to understand that unless you are buying heavy...this mining shyt is not worth it for all. It's best just to invest in low value coins and then trade it for BTC or LTC

280X was $300 on release. $400 was 290 non X territory.

day-z been out 2 years :yeshrug: theyve been using its a beta/standalone/mod excuse for 2 damn years

it was a mod for Arma 2, but the standalone has significant changes to the server/client architecture. plus all the models and animations have been redone for the standalone

DayZ and Rust are both considered to be in 'alpha' btw

Yeah they are launching Cryptoave on Friday and the value should go up as a result of the buzz.

I've seen the value of Protoshares rise pretty quickly.

What is special/different about PTS? I might have to trade for some tonight

What the fukk. I called Time Warner Cable earlier today because I was going to upgrade my internet to 50Mbps, I was currently on the standard package and was getting 15Mbps (I checked this daily)

So I am talking to the TWC lady and she quotes my this crazy price and I tell her Im not interested ill just keep what I have
Her: are you sure about that you would really enjoy this internet alot more :skip:
Me: no I am good I think Ill just stick with what I got :leostare:

Her: Ok well here is my number call me back if you change your mind :lolbron:



Less then thirty min later I am taking my class online and the youtube video keeps pausing to buffer(never been an issue since I moved here) I figured Sickbeard or something had probably started downloading a TV show. Go to check my torrents and SABnzbd and there was nothing.

I went ahead and reset my modem and restarted my computer

It was still slow so I went to check it at speedtest.net and saw this :ohhh::ohhh::ohhh::ohhh:
