Title: Under "Marketplace" split "Computer Hardware" into mining/non-mining hardware. Post by: infested999 on June 17, 2013, 09:16:10 AM The current "Computer Hardware" section is 90% mining equipment GPUs/BFLs and 10% actual computer hardware that people trade. While they both belong in the Computer Hardware section, they are almost completely separate devices.
I suggest to split the Computer Hardware section into two:

This is one of the dumber requests I've seen. Motherboards are necessary for mining, does that go in "Mining Equipment" or "Computer Hardware"? If I want to buy a GPU for gaming, I'd consider that "Computer Hardware". With the exception of ASICs, all mining equipment IS computer hardware. You may as well be asking for a "Goods" and "Other Goods" forum. ::) Maybe it will get more support in the future when GPU mining will be inefficient for everybody.

there's already 2 Boards, Hardware under Mining and Hardware Marketplace Title: Re: Under "Marketplace" split "Computer Hardware" into mining/non-mining hardware.

Agreed. Right now, I'm lumping both together and it's a mess. Title: Re: Under "Marketplace" split "Computer Hardware" into mining/non-mining hardware.

You may as well be asking for a "Goods" and "Other Goods" forum. ::) If I want to buy or sell non-ASIC/FPGA hardware, it's almost impossible to find, or get noticed, because you get lost in the mining hardware noise. In favor of splitting off as suggested. Title: Re: Under "Marketplace" split "Computer Hardware" into mining/non-mining hardware.

Just like I said in the OP, Mining Equipment and Computer Hardware. Title: Re: Under "Marketplace" split "Computer Hardware" into mining/non-mining hardware.

Title: Re: Under "Marketplace" split "Computer Hardware" into mining/non-mining hardware. Post by: Maged on July 12, 2013, 04:28:11 AM How about instead of splitting it, rename it to Mining Hardware and move the non-mining hardware out. Since GPUs will soon be worthless for mining and non-mining computer hardware likely doesn't have enough threads to make its own section, this makes the most sense.

Computer Hardware still needs a section because I trade laptops/servers all the time and I don't want to see posts like someone selling Honey or Bit-Cards.

Is some of this fallout from the Custom Hardware/Group Buy changes made last month? |
