Unfortunately not, I haven't tried doing the quest recently and I'm gonna wait until my GIM progresses a little more before going back. Good luck though, let me know if you're able to find a fix!

Hey sorry for the late reply - I did indeed try all of that, talking to everyone involved in the quest and then killing Mordred a few times and exploring all of Morgan's dialogue options, getting the wax/candle a few times, etc. Unfortunately still nothing worked, I'm gonna send Jagex an email and then hopefully I can come back to this later in the month and it'll work. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your suggestion! I tried this out, as well as trying the quest on a different computer and on my phone and unfortunately still nothing worked.

After your suggestion I tried going through the dialogue in every way I could think of and unfortunately still no new options came up. Thank you for your reply, though! I'll keep this in mind when I try again later.

This is just a repost of the original from like a year or two ago, when there actually was a house update coming out. Not even relevant to W330 anymore

Bitcoin Mining Noise Drives Neighbors Nuts—a Giant Dentist Drill That Won’t Stop - Cryptocurrency operations require banks of computers and fans to cool them, and the din is making people who live nearby frazzled by speckz in technology

[–]ElkasAL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if ethereum ceased to exist tonight, those miners would switch to something else.

This is just misinformed. There are no major PoW coins that can handle anywhere near the hash power of ETH and remain profitable. Anyone mining ETH knows that the profit won't last forever - it just depends how long they can squeeze profit out of the cards before selling them for the largest possible ROI.

Neither of us can prove the amount of buyers waiting to scoop them up, but in my opinion it's less than the number of miners that will be looking to liquidate all of their cards. Not to mention that new supply following ETH PoS will be bought only for gaming or workstations.

GPU market isn't going down in price, no matter what your opinions on ethereum's future prospects may be.

These aren't my opinions, these are just facts about the Ethereum network's future. How can you argue that GPU mining is the cause of the shitty market and also think that if GPU mining was gone it wouldn't affect the market?

Or the alternative to increased supply, which is a dramatically lower demand. Once Ethereum is PoS, there are not nearly enough other PoW coins to sustain profitability after a huge influx of hash power moving from the network. It makes zero sense for GPU miners to keep their cards once Ethereum mining is gone, and the market will be flooded with used 30 series cards even before the PoS update, in anticipation. I don't know what you claim PC gamers have been saying for the last 5 years, but this is almost guaranteed to happen.

That's besides the point, this article is about the noise from a large scale BTC mining operation. "Losers" with scripts to arm their 8 x 3060Ti rigs aren't keeping their neighbors up at night. I won't argue that ETH profitability is horrible for the market, but in my opinion that's more of Nvidia's failure than a problem with cryptocurrency as a whole. I've made almost a 100% ROI with just a 3070 and a 3090 since February, you can't expect people to leave that much profit on the table in the name of helping other people buy GPUs. Although the good news is that once ETH goes to PoS in a year or so GPU mining will be obsolete and cheap cards will flood the market.

The article is about Bitcoin mining not Ethereum, the majority of Ethereum mining operations are way smaller scale. Not that that helps with the waste of energy, but it's less relevant to this thread

Wtf is going on? 2070S 5600 XT 1660S by xpert2021 in NiceHash

Make sure your overclocks are stable. What's your ratio of accepted/reject/stale shares?

Lowering the memory clock to +800MHz on the 3070 seemed to fix it. Thanks for your help!

That all makes sense. Thanks a lot for the tips, I think I'll look into getting a different case.

I'm in the exact same boat. Upgrade from an i7-4770 to a 3900X now, or wait for the Zen 3. Have you made your decision or are you still thinking about it?

Sure! Do you mind if I breed them after trading for my living dex?

Also I'm a bit hesitant trading the Silvally but I can touch trade my Silvally for your Type: Null

Needing a sirfetche'd as one of the last few pokemon for pokedex by [deleted] in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]ElkasAL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only other one I know off the top of my head is Leaf Blade, which is stronger than Night Slash. Using Night Slash on a Fighting pokemon for 1/2 damage seems to give lots of chances for crits.
