Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: Most are less private than a credit card, because those at least are bound not to release all your info to anyone who calls to ask.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests.
Even the big names in privacy, like Monero, have had it breached.
So it's all an illusion of worth, even more so than fiat currency or a standard bank account, because you can't pay nearly as many vendors with it, so it's utility is less, especially since most people don't understand that they are pseudonymous systems, rather than complete anonymous setups. Logically, because the exchanges never took in sums in the billions of dollars, they can't pay it out. Thus the fantastic value numbers are more representative of the last few dozen coins trading price multiplied by the total sum of coins. The vast majority of the "Value" of these currencies is in coins that have never been traded for cash, many of which are out of circulation. I don't like miners because they are mostly wasting a shit-load of electricity, stealing CPU cycles, or hardware, driving up prices of anything with graphics hardware (GDDR and generic DRAM shortages), and functioning as essentially a high-tech form of scrip, or perhaps monopoly money, with little to nothing backing it (See the open question about if tether actually has the cash to back their tokens that they claim to, since they printed a few hundred million since declaring their bank transfers in and out had been blocked, or perhaps any of the other scams, like Bitconnect, or Pincoin). Perhaps my computer can't be left on at night because the fans/lights keep me awake. Or, I happen to not live in one of the areas where the power costs make that break even. Because I can't buy that card in the first place, I can't mine with it. If I have 300$, I can't buy a 500$ card that will run my games the way I want, since the original 300$ MSRP is inflated due to demand. Maybe because gamers are budget constrained. These are the lowest prices of 2018 so far. Other retailers even have it listed at the original MSRP of $600. For example, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 video card is selling on Amazon right now for $700. These factors working in conjunction seem like they are leading to more supply, which in turn is forcing retailers to cut prices.
The market for digital currencies like Bitcoin and Etherum is losing some of its momentum, and at the same time, large mining operations are pulling back on their investment in GPUs in anticipation of dedicated mining rigs (called ASICs) that are due out before the end of the year. Earlier this week, Digitimes reported that GPU vendors like Gigabyte, MSI, and others were expecting to see their card shipments plummet 40 percent month-over-month. But now the supply of video cards is on the verge of rebounding, and I don't think you should wait much longer to pull the trigger on a purchase.
An anonymous reader shares a report: If you were looking for a new graphics card for your PC over the last year, your search probably ended with you giving up and slinging some cusses at cryptocurrency miners.
