    Those not explicitly offered as being defective sell for 1400-1800 EUR on ebay. During the end of their short shelf live of only about 8 months, they sold for 550 EUR.

    Which coupled with very limited numbers it was available in explains why it's not at all in the top of mining h/w.
    The best mining GPU there is currently in hashrate per unit would be GA100 I'd say but it's not in the top either, for similar reasons.

    Yes, there are apparently some hacks and dirty tricks wrt to HBM. And you have to use a special Linux distribution, IIRC. When I tried it under Win10, I could get 95-ish MH/s out of it, but was nowhere near sweet spot of efficiency and throughput.

    New version of Norton 360 installs a crypto miner on your PC by default (guru3d.com)

    It's free up to 3 or 4 rigs. No need to mine to HiveON pool.

    Today I ran across this article on CNBC. It amazes me what lengths people go to with crypto mining.

    This is more of an example of latching onto the current craze to generate content and buzz. In this case it applies to both the person in question and CNBC.

    It would be a step in the right direction. But that just means they'll all move their operations to the US (like what happened with a lot of Chinese crypto-miners) or other countries with cheap power. Hopefully, the US will also attempt to curb energy intensive crypto mining.
