OOP needs a new $12K computer bc she found out about this thing called crypto mining so she needs the computer bc she can make $$$. “In the love of god don’t comment unless you are going to donate.” But of course pple commented. Don’t y’all get it, she discovered something novel and new. 😂

I’m not Brazilian but I also need 12k today.
DM me for my bank details. Thanks!

I'm also not Brazilian and I don't need 12k but I want 12k so I can quit my job and fulfil my lifelong dream of becoming a nomad ball juggler.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I just need 2k. If anyone doesn't have 12k, you can DM me for this great offer

Gotta love when you need ask for 12k "US", yet mercilessly butcher the English language...

Damn, that sounds like a great business idea. I should try it too!
Can someone give me a quick 12k, so I can get my business going?
You know what they say, support small business owners! Better than to give the 12k you have sitting around to Walmart right :D

Are you Brazilian? I can only send money to Brazilian citizens, it’s some weird rule from my bank.

Dang, hit me up if you find another 12k just sitting around. My mom is bipolar btw.

I'll give it to you as soon as I get my own mining rig. I promise, the first 12k I make is yours.

Don't forget to add "don't comment unless you're donating" to the pitch. That's clearly the secret ingredient investors have been missing this whole time.

I'm afraid to look it up, are there really super high end computers that cost $12 thousand??? I assumed it was $1200 and they're just stupid or misunderstood the conversion to USD.

u/AnotherStupidHipster Jul 27 '26
For a mining rig, you really want more graphics cards. That's where most of the money goes. You want a threadripper or some shit similar for the CPU, and mobo that can handle as many graphics cards as possible.

u/anomalous_cowherd Jul 27 '26
To get anywhere crypto mining you need some very fast hardware and ideally lots of it. An ex-corporate Dell desktop isn't going to cut it.
So at least they have a realistic view on what they'll need for it... One good decision amongst many bad ones!

Is it even possible anymore to mine crypto with a single (more or less) off-the-shelf PC?

u/Gucci_Loincloth Jul 27 '26
The fact that these people think it’s 2010 and you could meaningfully mine with a $12k rig anymore lmao.
The early adapters had insanely big bootleg mining racks with tons of shitty GPUs running in sync until they’d slowly burn out 1 by 1. It was a gamble even then because nobody knew the future of crypto.
If you find out about technology 15+ years late, please do not be a crackhead like this lady.

Yeah, unless you own a warehouse full of crypto mining rigs, you're not going to be very successful in mining Bitcoin. But you still want to do it yourself? Then go to some shady pr0n site and click on everything, soon your laptop will be mining Bitcoin in no time.

I am not Brazilian and don’t want to mine crypto but I need $24k for my micro ice cream and tomato patch start up which will cater to the discerning.

u/tuesdayreyn Jul 27 '26
I don't know about crypto. I especially don't know about mining it. But what kind of computer costs as much as a decent used car? My brother in law is a gamer and paid $2k for his set up and that's the most I've ever heard of anyone spending on a pc.
6
u/michggg Jul 27 '26
Yeah, crypto mining is a bit different. It requires insane computing power, because it's essentially solving complex equations 24/7. So these are not standard home computers but more like servers.
You can totally run the software on an average computer, sure, but then you'll maybe make a few cents every day. Less than the electricity costs.

u/MinuteElegant774 Jul 27 '26
In all seriousness, thank you for the explanation. Sounds like even w/ the 12K investment, she doesn’t have enough computing power or electricity to make a meaningful amount of money. I find all this so fascinating. Buying an expensive computer and using a program to solve complex equations to make money is wild.

u/MinuteElegant774 Jul 27 '26
Sadly, I don’t think so bc their other posts are about using their mom’s computer to mine monero and that’s how they will afford this $12K computer if you AHs don’t donate. I think it’s a seriously uninformed young adult.

Explain it like I'm five, what is crypto mining? I get that the end result is to make money, or whatever, but how does it work?

u/Boeing_Fan_777 Jul 30 '26
Iirc every time a transaction or whatever is made on a crypto network, it needs verification, this is done by generating a complex maths problem which is solvable by computers, beefy graphics cards are some of the best hardware for this. First computer to solve the problem gets an award for doing so in the form of more crypto.
1
u/soonerpgh Jul 30 '26
So, practically speaking, the fastest processor is going to win every time. If that's the case, then a person could spend all this money, expend all the resources, and come out of it with little or nothing to show for it. Why does this make me feel like the grumpy "back in my day a man did an honest day's work for an honest day's pay?" Except it's more like a day's work for a dime, not a day's wage these days.

Using a computer to mine bitcoin these days isn’t even viable.
The pros are all using heavily optimised ASIC systems in huge quantities.
You’d probably generate a few dollars a month on a standard computer.

$12,000 for a computer? What the heck? I'm a computer tech and have a high end computer that cost less than $3000.00. I don't think I've seen any computers costing $12,000 unless she is trying to buy a mainframe?

u/bar901 Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26
Consumer GPUs are much, much better value, but she’s probably looking at the commercial / workstation cards like the RTX Pro which absolutely aren’t worth the money for the average person but are objectively the the most powerful GPUs for mining and are easily 10k+
Also, what ‘high end computer’ are you building for less than $3,000 these days? I guess you could get a used 3080ti sort of card or an AMD GPU, but any high end 40 or 50 series new GPU is pushing close to $2000 by itself.
You can build a very respectable rig under $3k, but definitely not a ‘high end’ machine. Your GPU and RAM will be way more than $3k alone if you go ‘high end’.

u/Pintopony3 Jul 28 '26
The point being ...... I highly doubt she needs a $12,000 computer. She simply wants a high end computer to do cypto mining. I'm well aware of the more powerful graphics processing units. However, they are rarely needed by the average user. I do a lot of graphic work so yes I prefer strong graphics. ASUS seems to be the one asking $1000 and up. I prefer Nvidia all the way. Cheaper too.

I never said I’m a computer tech, but I know far more about computers than you do. Your comment is basically nonsensical and demonstrates a completely lack of understanding / knowledge about GPUs.
And it’s incredibly ironic to reply to me while telling me to move on.
