Title: Butterflylabs dont display power usage on there site Post by: Anddos on January 05, 2014, 07:46:28 AM Why dont Butterflylabs display how many watts there devices uses ?
This is a key factor with bitcoin mining as you have to leave them on 24/7 so its important to know its power usage,why would they not display it? https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/10-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html Title: Re: Butterflylabs dont display power usage on there devices Post by: dropt on January 05, 2014, 07:58:03 AM Probably because if you knew, you wouldn't buy their garbage.

You'll also need a PC to run it so add that to your usage, or use a Rasberry Pi like I am as it uses bugger all. If you want to work/live in the same room you run it from you might also want to factor in cooling as it puts out a bit of heat, and the fans make a bit of noise, but not as much as a Multi GPU mining rig IMO.

Jalapeno: 35-45W Little Single: 120-130W SC Single: 240-250W Those are ones I've tested directly. I've heard that a typical 500GH MR is ~1200-1300W.
