I agree, octopus is nice choice for 3060, but ETH much more stable. And i agree again, that there are other coins, that we can mine with 3060 more profitable then ETH. But $80 is not a high price to mine everything without any restrictions.
Any gpu you buy at msrp is a good deal at moment regardless of the hashrate because you could in turn become a scalper yourself hehe, I mean buy at msrp and then sell for at least 100% profit, buy for 400 usd and then sell for 800 usd to idiots.
