Games of 2017 GTA Mods Hunt: Showdown Destiny 2 Beyond Good & Evil 2 E3 2017 ASRock releases motherboards designed to mine Bitcoins, generate internet moolah I'm about to write a bunch of really weird words in a row, but I need you to hang in there.We'll get through this together.Are you ready?ASRock has just released a new motherboard series designed specifically to mine for Bitcoins.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time PC hardware has been built with Bitcoins in mind.Actually, these are the first PC components built to, theoretically, make you money.Let's back up a little bit.Bitcoins are the internet-based, peer-to-peer currency, as explained in the video above.At about 0:30 in the video, the narrator mentions Bitcoin mining in passing, but it deserves a little more attention.The miner is an application that solves math problems to generate coins, but in order to curb inflation and stabilize this decentralized currency, every time a Bitcoin is created, the algorithms needed to make the next one get a little more complex.

After years of this process and over $400 million worth of Bitcoins now floating through the electronic ether, the algorithms are getting brutal enough to make a gaming rig groan as it chews through them.Enter: the ASRock Pro BTC-series motherboards.These babies sport enough room for six graphics cards (GPUs are the mining tool of choice) and some extra power connectors to light up all that hardware.There's no price listed yet, but considering the rates of return some early Bitcoin adopters have seen, it could be a worth investment for those interested.On the other hand, Bitcoin is prone to wild price fluctuations , so maybe it's best not to joke around with money you can't afford to spare.Still, all that aside, you can keep your flying cars and laser beams; I'm living in a future where computers solve math problems to make money.After we sort out the Holodeck, I'm pretty much set as far as technology goes.Show us your rigEach week on Show Us Your Rig, we feature the PC game industry's best and brightest as they show us the systems they use to work and play.John Watson is the Technical Director and Co-Owner of Stoic Games, developers of The Banner Saga.

Sporting an iMac (with Bootcamp) and a standing desk, John's rig and work space are fine tuned for a minimal footprint.I can only assume he wanted the extra room to store all of the different keyboards he uses.bitcoin kardashian gameJohn was kind enough to take some time and tell us about his setup, including why he uses a Mac and how "What's your favorite game?"bitcoin geschichteisn't such a simple question.It’s a 2013 iMac 27”:The ergonomics are pretty good.bitcoin byte orderThis Sculpt keyboard is overall the best thing out there, and I’ve tried a lot of ergonomic keyboards.bitcoin node phpThe downside is that they aren’t very durable.bitcoin london conference 2013

I’ve already killed one within a year of purchase.The standing desk can be raised and lowered, so I spend about half of each day standing, to break the physiological monotony of sitting.I have several keyboards around, one for main use, one as a backup Mac keyboard to access the bootloader and restore menus if needed, and one as a bluetooth keyboard for my various mobile devices.The iMac is fantastic for development.bitcoin zu usdExtremely performant and,more importantly compact and elegant.bitcoins gratis y rapidoI cannot stand the hums, buzzes, moans, and screeches of poorly designed computers with low tech brute force cooling systems.bitcoin atm legalI allocate half of the fusion drive for Windows via Bootcamp, and the other half for Mac OS X, which I spend most of my time in.euro bitcoin grafico

I used to run Windows under VMWare, but these modern hard drives are so fast that it’s not a problem to reboot into a different OS from time to time.I attached my second monitor to a mounting arm to clear up desk space.I got a pretty small desk because I’m trying to take up less space geometrically in general, and I didn’t want a sprawling desk taking up half the room.Stuff required for getting up and taking a walk: keys, shades, wallet, phone.I try not to answer the phone unless it is clearly important, but I keep my phone nearby anyway.There is usually a coffee in arms reach as well.I’m a big fan of indirect lighting so I have several lamps nearby that are pointed at the adjacent walls to give me a nice flood without getting blinded or washed out.I recently went on quite a tear playing Banished, which is right up my alley.Lately I’ve been enjoying LUFTRAUSERS and I can’t wait to dig into the next act of Kentucky Route Zero.I’ve also been enjoying a bit of a StarCraft 2 playing resurgence as well, now that I finally got Heart of the Swarm.

Frankly I stay pretty busy programming The Banner Saga and I really savor those precious moments when I’m able to sit down enjoy a good game.It's really hard to pick a favorite, because I have many favorites, for different reasons.Some games were revolutionary for their time, evoked an unforgettable atmosphere, made me laugh, made me think, were visually beautiful, sounded great, or represent some other memory or experience.So any favorite that I pick is going to be totally dependent upon its context, and omission of other games will necessarily omit the contexts by which they are judged and remembered.By what metric out of many do I measure and choose my favorite game?If I consider the game that is most indelibly burned into my memory, it would have to be the original Quake.The countless hours of running, jumping, navigating, shooting, and hunting were a transformative experience.I can clearly remember more of that game than any other.I had played many unforgettable games before, and have played many since, but it stands above the crowd in certain ways that are impossible to deny.
