Who are the pioneers? They are the ones who have cured diseases and strengthened our bodies. They work to heal our planet and explore new ones. They work to undo mankind\u2019s mistakes and protect the next generation from making them again. Harnessing science to fuel creativity, and employing creativity to drive science. They pursue an unerring, unwavering path towards their goals. There are no barriers, no compromises. They are people who see boundaries as starting lines, and who risk everything in pursuit of innovation. They are the early adopters, the people whose passion is to pursue what is new and different. Their achievements won\u2019t be measured in days, weeks or even years. They\u2019ll be measured in centuries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u2014 because running a hash calculation over and over so you can make a few dollars<\/a> from a minor altcoin before NiceHash gets “hacked” again<\/a> and it vanishes is just like<\/em> being a scientific pioneer doing something useful to humanity that anyone except Reddit \/r\/buttcoin posters will remember.<\/p>\n
The Vega Frontier is overpriced as a gaming card, though cost-effective as a compute card<\/a>. AMD is so keen to compete with Nvidia that they are losing $100<\/a> on every Vega Frontier they sell.<\/p>\n
This appears to be a new marketing page for the same card they released in August \u2014 the October version<\/a> of the page pushed the card for rendering and scientific computing, and doesn’t mention blockchains. There’s also a driver specifically for miners<\/a> (which was available<\/a> for the August release).<\/p>\n
You will never mine back the money you spend<\/a> on this card, but don’t let me stop you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nbuy our money printers<\/p>\n
we're selling them instead of running them ourselves because we're generous<\/p>\n
get in on the ground floor, pioneer<\/p>\n
