I am (somewhat) patiently waiting for either 3080 Hybrid to get some movement.  30 secs away for XC3 and maybe 2 mins away for the FTW3...  Either will do.

Is that the FIRST drop of 3895?

They can also sell off the card at the inflated prices when they're through with it, especially when the mining boom dies down. 

Yeah but that's the thing: it won't die down. People were saying the same thing years ago and it actually got worse.
 
So no, mining, just like scalping now, is here to stay now and won't die down. If anything, and again like scalping, it will just get worse and worse again and again.
 
Until something serious is done mining and scalping will keep eating and controlling 50%+ or OUR GPU MARKET year after year...

Congratulations to everyone who got their notification to order today.  You give hope to the rest of us.  Enjoy your new card when it gets delivered.  :-)

 I think there was a earlier 1 (just one) drop that I can remember (once in a blue moon which I cant remember when) .   Seriously dont think these drops have enuf quantity they may be more symbolic to show that all  SKU's are being considered.
Either way at this rate it would be apt to rename "FTW3 Gaming"  to "Forever Waiting Game"    .

I wouldn't recommend saying something doesn't benefit the world simply because you do not understand it. 

I say this in a 100% interest in learning something. Please PM me with what it is I don't understand that is exactly how it benefits the world to have all that mathematical power go only to a financial benefit and not also be used for helpful distributed computing research. Here's a paper from 2014 suggesting as such and I still don't see it prevalent. I don't want to push this topic farther on this thread and mean no offense in any way, but I'm curious (hence the PM request). Cheers.

I just realized that I have 2 GTX 780s sleeping in my closet that could be used to mine in another rig that has been sleeping in the closed too for years... I know NOTHING about mining though: how much could that make a day with 2 slowass cards like that lol?
 
If it pays the internet bill I would be happy lol!

What could you make?  A really big electricity bill.  An acceleration of climate change?
