Nobody cares, read the comments on social media. Most people are not knowledgeable.
Maybe you see what’s going on, but the vast majority don’t.

They didn't come in here to say they don't care.
You did.
So why are you telling anyone to stop talking because of idiots on social media. Let them be idiots.
Now, as it turned out the story was half wrong. The cards are being used to mine but a different cryptocurrency than the one Nvidia said they were blocking.
Read the history of the conversation, someone is saying it is disastrous PR. Just replying on the back of that.

No one has a problem with a regular user making a bit of money back on their gaming card, it’s the pro’s who snap up every card in existence who we have the problem with. They are scum.
I don't think this is bad news for gamers, rather it's predictable and bad news for NVIDIA.
There is no doubt in my mind the only reason NVIDIA introduced limits is to control the second hand market of GPU's. NVIDIA want every customer to buy a new graphics card and if random fluctuations in cryptocurrency flood the second hand market, it's a lot of lost sales for NVIDIA. So to my mind it is just pure greed on NVIDIA's part that they introduced the restrictions, so I care less if someone undermines them.

Except proper corporate miners who might by the CMP are in it for the long game and won’t be selling up even if cypto drop.
hobby miners, even big ones, won’t buy CMP cards as they need an out and need to shift cards when the market drops.
It’s just shady marketing from Nvidia.
Crypto clickbait on youtube is some of the worst.

I was looking at Gibbo's thread showing what he is expecting to arrive for 3090 and 3080 cards and it is practically nothing, where are the AIB partners sending their cards?

you have to ask where they are going. Just take a look at the steam hardware survey.
6+ months in or a 1/4 of the way though the normal cycle and the RTX 3000 cards are mostly AWL.
1060 - 9.91%
1070 and 1070Ti - 4.22%
1080 - 1.97%
2060 and super - 5.24%
2070 and super - 4.01%
2080 and super - 1.65%
3060ti - 0.33%
3070 - not even listed
3080 - 0.74%
nvidia are claiming they have never sold more “gaming” cards and there financial results support this.
The cards aren’t going to gamers or newer games are not using steam?
Of course mining can be done but at what cost? Wouldn't it degrade the gpu memory over time?
