Between energy costs, sourcing components and building mining rig(s), temperature regulation, and storage space etc.. Which country do you think has the best potential? Title: Re: Which country is the most cost efficient to mine crypto? Post by: hellscreamer on October 06, 2020, 06:54:13 PM Canada
20c year round $0.06 USD kWh for first 1350 , not the best ;D but you can pay every 2 months Low shipping cost for eBay to buy or sell miner to bigger US market Title: Re: Which country is the most cost efficient to mine crypto?

dont consider the energy cost alone but there are other factors to watch out for like govt laws and regulations when it comes to crypto like the taxes involved. so based from these articles, seems canada, iceland, venezuela or georgia are countries that you can explore your mining activities from redherring article- https://www.redherring.com/top-story/the-top-three-countries-for-bitcoin-miners/ Iceland Venezuela Georgia from coinmama- https://www.coinmama.com/blog/where-should-you-go-to-become-a-successful-bitcoin-miner-these-six-countries-offer-the-best-balance-of-low-capital-inves/ kuwait georgia iceland estonia canada venezuela fom nomad - https://nomadcapitalist.com/2019/09/27/best-countries-for-crypto-mining/ iceland canada from cnbc article- https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/15/the-cheapest-and-most-expensive-countries-to-mine-bitcoin.html https://i.imgur.com/NhbLYRh.png if you cant go to these countries, why not invest in solar panels or wind turbines. expensive at first but you will get the roi and the rest of your mining days will be free Title: Re: Which country is the most cost efficient to mine crypto?

Thank you! I actually forgot to consider tax and regulation. Should probably look into that before jumping into it. Cheers mate Title: Re: Which country is the most cost efficient to mine crypto?

https://i.imgur.com/pAYWZb7.png Question. What coin you do tend to mine? Profitability will always vary from electricity cost,maintenance and of course the rewards and basing off on what crypto you've been mining. Electricity rate will always be your #1 concern.

I wonder which country is the most cost efficient to mine crypto.. Between energy costs, sourcing components and building mining rig(s), temperature regulation, and storage space etc.. Which country do you think has the best potential? What do you mean by building mining rigs: gpus? China is the cheapest place to mine an asic directly to btc. Simply besause you can get asic mining gear cheaper then anywhere else. GPU mining is really hard to answer. But probably China again with an eight card gpu rig like this one. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Cheap-Price-Graphics-Card-Miner-GPU_62453167233.html? is a nice base to build. Title: Re: Which country is the most cost efficient to mine crypto? Post by: adaseb on October 08, 2020, 03:20:15 AM Venezuela might be the cheapest but mining is considered illegal there. Last I heard if you are caught mining you might face imprisonment and get your gear confiscated. Very corrupt country. One reason why is partially due to their power costs being free (or very cheap) for most citizens.
And Canada is not a good country to mine. The areas with cheap Electricity aren't good areas to live and the weather is dependant on the province. Some provinces barely have winter and other provinces have like -30C weather in February. Issue is the same provinces also have +30C weather in the summer so your setup won't work well in either climates. Basically -30C is way too cold for your equipment and if you leave an Antminer outside, and if it stop mining for some reason, you will need to disconnect it, bring it inside to thaw and then bring it outside again. Believe me I had this issue. And in the summer its so hot that if you got too much gear it will basically start to overheat due to the high heat. |
