So far i have mixed impressions of the aster software, i just get the impression Aster has accomplished alot and is an amazing software yet fails at the last hurdle, which makes it unusable for many. Would appreciate any help from the Ibik ru Team, would be a shame for the aster software to not be able to support commonly used network apps. Tunngle creates TAP-win32 Adapter V9 (Tunngle), I believe the issue is related to how Aster deals with TAP-win32 Adpater and is currenty not able to support with its netwrok features. If Aster is disabled tunngle works properly Given current price and profitability trends, I am beginning to wonder how much of the Ethereum hashrate growth is due to "new rigs" being added and how much is "old rigs switching over from OTHER coins because it's more profitable".Tunngle failed to start with error code: error: (4-103) Could not communicate with the tunngle service

In short, the current major shortage seems to be more that "nobody predicted that sales this Christmas sales season would be anywhere near as high, especially at the HIGH END" and didn't get their production pipelines filled up enough to handle it. There was no "crypto craze" of any significance on GPU mineable coins in 4Q 2017 except for Ethereum, and THAT coin is a major AMD stonghold, should not affect Nvidia sales or pricing AT ALL on the 1080 or 1080ti, and AMD high-end Polaris cards have to get significantly HIGHER in price than the 1060 and close to even in price to the 1070 to affect sales or pricing on THOSE cards (which is what happened last Spring) - which had not happened when the Nvidia "we're ALL OUT" level of shortage that hit right after Christmas and more than a week BEFORE AMD hit that level of shortage. In fairness, NOBODY seems to have anticipated 4Q 2017 being bigger than 4Q 2016 says a lot about "unanticipated growth", with comments about "strong holiday sales" and "strong gaming sales". HOWEVER, that might be more related to their VERY strong sales on Ryzen CPUs, the strong sales of the XBox and PS4 line (they make the APU for both of those), and NOT directly related to their GPU production. There is evidence in their most recent quarterly earnings report that they TRIED to do so, but maxed out their available share of foundry capacity at GF and then had to pay GF a lot to use whatever available "outside capacity" they could find. AMD has pointed to "memory shortages" as a factor in why they CAN'T ramp production up enough. Nvidia seems to be trying to avoid the fact that THEIR OWN BAD TIMING on the producion switch at TSMC is a major factor in the current shortage on their side. If it isnt related you crypto currency have they stated why there is a shortage? I also think it is dumb for retailers to sell them as s 10 pack online. I'n fairly sure EVGA_Jacob doesn't work on the weekend. Fr0st Any ideas if EVGA crew will get stock tonight? Tying to figure out when I should camp out on the PC :D
