First AMD Radeon RX Mining cards Surface Online
The hype in crypto-currency mining is something the Radeon board partners jump onto. See below the first Radeon Mining Edition cards from Sapphire. The models are available in RX 470 and RX 560. Should the bubble burst, most cards to not have any resell value as they do not have display outputs.
The Sapphire Radeon RX 560 Mining Edition gets 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and is advertised as a 12 tot 15MH/s based on a 60 Watt TDP. Currently in the UK the product sells for as massive 170 pound sterling which is 199 euros (ex VAT). The Sapphire RX 470 Mining Edition on its end will become available in 4GB and 8GB models with mining compute rated at 23-26MH/s en 25-28MH/s. The TDP is at the 125 Watt marker there. These cards cost 260 pounds, which is 299 Euro ex VAT (!).
That makes the price level high compared to your normal gaming edition graphics card version. The cards can be used for crypto-currency mining like Ethereum and Zcash.

The RX560 cost £170 and uses 60 watts, what are you talking about?
12 -14 Mh/s for 300 bucks damn thats almost stupid you get 29-30 Mh/s from a 480/580 that you can resell to gamers for at least 50% of new value. with some tweaks they run 85/115 watts depending on what coin your mining.

It is the scam of the decade.
Whoever designed this knew what they were doing, and probably half of the coins which where initially mined very easy are now sold to all the idiots hoping to get rich, they got their big-ass $$$ and everyone else is now competing for scraps with their massive power hogging rigs.
Eventually this entire nonsense will go down in history as one of the most massive waste of technology and energy of the last 100 years.
Aliens are probably laughing like crazy looking at us: "Hey, look at them, they invented these miracles of technology (computer chips), and what are they using them for? Calculating quintilions of nothings... At the same time, millions of them are dying of diseases which could be cured by investing that computational power into understanding nature better...
Terrible... when are we going to learn??

Maybe that is the way of digital coins ? If it doesn't take off, you have a load of pre-mined worthless coins.
If it does take off, you cash out when you want with some of them, making a huge profit.
Frankly, if there's money to be made, why not ?
Someone in university halls, probably doesn't pay an electric bill.
If you want to talk about Nature, iPhones etc are one of the banes of the natural world, and maybe its time we put back the European forests which stretched all over the UK, and Central Europe ? (France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, etc...)
We live in a world where you are expected to accumulate wealth and possessions for some reason, even though it all gets left behind when you die.
Historically, when the human race got too big for its own good, a plague or illness ravaged those living in close proximity to each other, culling the herd so to speak.
With our medecine and technology, we are pushing that back further and further, if not indefinitely.
We are also the only species, afaik, that destroys is own habitat....and we do it for money
(See the state Borneo/Indonesia/Amazon is in now...)
edit : When are we going to learn ? Probably when its too late to do anything about it.
