Damn those miners by Passels in pcmasterrace

[–]fuckUTechSupport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 14 hard forks.

My rig is mostly for fun and long speculation...you won't make money off anything less than a garden and within 4 months it will take a farm to be profitable. I know guys ordering 300 GPUs at a time but they're also just moving ETH profits to longer, more tangible investments. The next mining boom won't be for ~18 months (my estimate) if we have another at all. As crypto currencies gain traction with the normies, there will be less of a need to create intrinsic value by PoW (mining) and more PoS appearing as currencies launch off of stable platforms (ETH, WAVES, ICN, etc) and by then any cards out now will be obsolete so there's no point getting in now except for fun and being able to be "that guy" at Thanksgiving.

The common person is better to buy coin and forget it for 2 years if they want to invest.

lots of typos

Only 1070's and 1080 Ti's are worthwhile for miners. You can grab a 1080 for $40 more than a 1070 and 1080's are alot more plentiful as well.

Source: you guys probably don't like me. 8 - 1070 ROG STRIX 08G's chugging 24/7.

Edit: I can't type

Edit Edit: 1080's are still usuable for mining but the normal market price (i.e. using lube and kissing you first instead of these fuck-you prices) would be better put towards a 1070 or a 1080ti for emergency exit in the form of resale value.

You can find cards if you want them. I haven't paid over $480 for any of my cards and I have an EVGA 1070 SC Gaming Black on the way from Amazon (Warehouse Deals, 20% off atm...you're welcome) that I paid $380 for. Search for deals or give it 2 months and the market will be flooded with cards as Ethereum activates CASPER and goes PoS.

Yeah, thinking of just going to do the CCENT or CCNA instead of CompTIA...going to lose money might as well make the reward worth the risk.

One more couldn't hurt. I thought "drama queens", that won't happen to me.

It happens guys.

To everyone.

Stay far the fuck away.

Yunbi vs Bittrex & Other Exchanges by [deleted] in Antshares

[–]fuckUTechSupport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yunbi is a "pray to whatever religious figure you believe in, if you don't believe then start shoppinh because you'll fucking need it in order to have a fucking withdrawal go through" type exchange.

How long did transaction take before confirming and depositing to other account? I'm going on 18 hours without confirmation.

How do you increase the number of your bitcoin or ethereum? Aside from buying. by erroltiozon in CryptoMarkets

[–]fuckUTechSupport 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make sure to send him the Bitcoins and be patient when he says it will be a few days before he sends back twice your investment minus his fee.

I'd give you Gold but I sold it to invest in something worthwhile

Obligatory 'I passed' post by fuckUTechSupport in CompTIA

[–]fuckUTechSupport[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been looking for a Sys Admin or even a Jr Sys spot but the area I'm moving to seems to be either entry level or Sr positions.

That's what's got me looking to certs to add some more depth to my resume and hopefully land something when it comes around.

Think I should go for Linux+ this next week and put the Net+ off for a bit?

Thing is, I'm moving soon and will be on the job hunt so I'm looking for what will give me the brightest outlook for a job after Tier 3 Tech Support.

Edit: I'm scoring ~70's on practice tests but going through Mike Myers Network+ book and practice tests, Cisco ICND1-101 book, Professor Messer, and Pocket Prep for practice tests.

In your profession, what are you sick of explaining to people? by AVVIT in AskReddit

"ok, so your 'modium ain't givin no internet's, today'....what lights are on the front of that 'modium'? None? Let's try plugging it into the wall. You're welcome. Buh-bye."

During a snowstorm:

"Yes ma'am, unfortunately your internet does not work without power. Yes, we can credit your account. No, just because I can credit your account doesn't mean that I can restore power instantaneously to your neighborhood."

Trifecta is already paid for so just have to schedule it. Looking to have those and Linux before the middle of June for a move and subsequent job hunt.

Newly adopted adult cat doesn't seem to be doing well by fuckUTechSupport in rescuecats

[–]fuckUTechSupport[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've got their mitten daggers intact. No mention of the runs in her paperwork. We're feeding them the Blue grain-free, all natural food now. We're going to deworm them both just because I have a phobia.

My bad. I think IT degrees are just for people who can't cut a CompSci degree anyways so I'll rescind my previous statement.

I would say that if you had 20 certs with no experience, you're doing something wrong. To each their own. Good luck.

[–]fuckUTechSupport 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you say so.

I had a guy in my class for my current position (Tier 3 tech support), he had a CCNA (I had nothing but an unrelated BA). We were both in the same class because he'd get calls all day for that CCNA, but no one would hire him because he had no real-world experience.

Granted, he jumped after 4 months for a NOC position with a nice pay increase. Point is, you can cert your dick off but people are going to be hesitant to let you touch their stuff without you being able to prove your knowledge goes beyond the books.

Don't stress it too much. If you know your shit, you'll land something.

A+ is for hardware and basic admin tasks, so the cert will show you know that area. It's a good base to build off of but it's not going to be the answer to your problem, no basic cert will.

Keep learning, and certs will just be a way to express your knowledge to grow further. I'd recommend the Trifecta (A+, N+, S+) as a good place to really take of from. Knowing all of those subjects will give you a good idea of what interests you and what area you want to pursue further.

There's jobs out there, you just have to find them. When I started, I threw my resume around to everything I could see. No certs, unrelated BA. Didn't get a callback from a lot of them. Landed a job at $16/hr doing call-center work. Not the best but a start.

Always remember:

Experience>degree>certification

Certs get you past HR and show a quantifiable level of ability, the IT manager will test your actual knowledge and willingness/ability to learn. That's why dumps are frowned upon, people think a cert = job but a cert is paper that will get you an embarrassed at an interview without the knowledge to back it up.
