 ???  is .08 kwh cost effective for bitcoin mining, also if its a business that draws lots of power it is .04 per kwh?

8 usa cents is decent

4 usa cents is very good.


other factors  are do you pay VAT ?  do you rent a warehouse?

8 cent per kWh is quite expensive, most of your bitcon earnings by mining will go paying the electricity, but if the price is 4 cents per kWh then its cheaper and you can start mining. What's your mining rig(s) to start mining?

8 cent power  makes a profit with the newest gear the s-9 once you sell it in 6 to 10 months

4 cent power is really good. should be really sure to profit


and 8 cent power is not quite exspensive I think you could or may profit


20 cent power  =   death to profit


8 cent power = maybe a profit?


below are some possible projections of what the s-9 will do
one with 8 cent power
one with 4 cent power

that is awesome also I have a meter that monitors my kWh right off of my power line coming out of my breaker box into the house then it sends the data via WiFi to my unit.  I am able to see in real time how much I am burning electricity.  I have been adjusting all the lights and everything that was sucking power 24/7 from children.  Now every device I turn off I can see how much each is using in electricity.  If you guys want one they are only like 160 dollars I will put a link in the description.  Anyway I figure that eliminating all of the blood suckers throughout the house that my bitcoin miners can use the power that I was using to light the house up for nobody.  Also I live in north Idaho so I put my ant miners underneath my thermostat because we pretty much have 8 months of winter, and they will help keep from the thermostat kicking on all the time.  I don't know if all of these cost savings will help but we will see.  BTC  https://www.amazon.com/Efergy-Home-Hub-Elite-Combo/dp/B00I2XM5RS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1467561807&sr=8-4&keywords=efergy it has a cool web portal and you can access on your phone

one last thing I am using numbers after the ½ ing not before since the ½ ing is about six days from now.

There are a lot of other costs involved unless you can just flip a switch to get miners running.

It also depends on how efficient your miners are.
0.08USD would be too much for me, even with the most recent miners.

 It looks like the block reward is set to 25 in those images you posted.

i   ½-ed the cash  ,  but I did it when cash was at 710 a coin should be 355 .

  I then bumped it a hair  to 380 usd

I kept all numbers in cash usd.


Doing long term projections is my art and feel then pure science.

who the f really knows the actual price in 10 days 25 days 50 days 100 days.  and who the f really knows  the diff numbers I guessed 4%.

long term diff over the next year could be 2% 4% 6% 8% maybe a negative.  once again who the f knows.

But if you are at 8 cent power  1 s-9 could earn a profit.

 Okay I see it now.  Yeah difficulty has pretty much always been a tough variable to predict.  It's even tougher now that most companies keep their new devices a secret.
