Title: If offered 1-4Cents per Kwh, would you migrate your mining equipment ? Post by: GigaCoin on December 20, 2013, 11:44:33 PM Hello fellow Miners,
Hope you are well and mining them coins :) I'm exploring an option of obtaining cheap energy, as a miner would you consider a rate of 1-4 cents per KWH a good deal for you and your equipment? For example, if offered would you migrate your Bitcoin and litecoin mining equipment to take advantage of this rate? also at what rate kWh would you start considering it being "not cheap" Appreciate your feedback, thanks!

I would have to decline the offer to transfer my equipment. However, your rate would be very cheap compared to PG&E who charges .10-.13 cents a KWH.

If something goes up in flames and you're losing other people's mining income they will go after you. You are creating a business afterall.

Post by: Kluge on December 21, 2013, 07:22:26 PM No, but only because I have a crappy Internet connection and wouldn't be able to remotely interface with them like I can while they're on a local network. My rigs also aren't space-efficient or rackable... large boxes with lots of "white space," which I guess would cost me a good bit extra.
If I could remotely monitor them, I'd consider up to $.075/KWh after taxes and fees. I'm paying right around $.13/KWh after all's said and done in the US. |
