here you go:


.51 or .52 watts  a gh

 so stock speed is 1150 gh

 so .52 x 1150 = 598 watts  lets say 600 watts


600 x 24 = 14400 watts or 14.4 kwatts   

make that 15 kwatts

15 x 7.6 cents = $1.14 usd a day  or

1.14 x 30 =       $34.20 usd a month

close for stock speed with a decent psu.

Go to coinwarz for a good compassion for current difficulty.  I like bitwisdom for longer term.

indeed, i'm left picking up the scraps off the floor.  As provocatively efficient s5 exhibits, this generation asic is not efficient enough, at least in my situation.

7.5 cents per KwH is actually very low. It is much lower then most of the world and lower then the average in the US.

Although it is speculated that some of the corporate farms have electricity as cheap as 4 cents per KwH, although I have not seen any proof to these claims

There are a lot of calculators out there that can help too.   I usually just go to dustcoin.com to get a gist of what various wattages and power costs add up to.  can filter on daily, weekly, monthly so it's really nice.  for me anyways
