In a word, the market seems to have reached the stage of "close your eyes and get rich".
Many investors who need to transfer money on the Ethereum chain for mining or using Uniswap find that the gas fee is too expensive now, how expensive is it? A simple transaction requires hundreds of yuan, and complex contract interactions, such as mining a mine, will not work without thousands of yuan. DeFi, ordinary people can't afford it at all. The wool is also reluctant to squeeze it.

▲GAS fee for a mining project, 487GAS equals nearly 1,000 RMB
According to Tokenview data, on February 5, the total transaction fee on the Ethereum chain reached 12827.06 ETH (approximately 30.189 million US dollars), the average price of GAS in a single day was 150 GWei, and the average transaction fee for a single transaction was 24.7 US dollars. two-year high.

DeFi is crazy, Ethereum miners sweep laptops to mine
Data shows that Ethereum miners earned $3.5 million in one hour, the highest hourly mining revenue to date.
However, as we all know, due to the epidemic and other reasons, the supply of high-end graphics cards has been insufficient since 2020, and they cannot be bought even if they have money. As the price of ETH breaks through the previous high, miners have turned their attention to gaming notebooks, especially high-end models equipped with the latest and strongest graphics cards.
Recently, Yuchi made a popular short video. The host took an Asus laptop equipped with NVIDIA 3060 graphics card to go to Starbucks to collect wool. The data shows that the game can provide a computing power of 40MH/S. Combining the difficulty and currency price, the daily income is about 23 yuan, and the return is 260 days, with an annualized rate of return of 140%. Electricity bills for nothing.
This is not a joke. At present, there are indeed some miners who are buying notebooks. They either dismember the notebooks, take out the graphics card and reassemble them into mining machines, or directly install software for mining.
