Is that 0.023 your final rate all up, or your base rate?




I have a couple small surcharges but those add up to maybe 50 bucks.

 How much power are you using to count $50 as "small surcharges"?

 8-O

A lot of power Smiley

Hosting: Low as $60.00 per KW - Link

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Do you have "Time of Day" rate available to you?

 It might make it possible for you to continue to home mine, on a part-time basis, for somewhat longer.

I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

I have 12 cents per kwh. Your poll rates are too much for normal users. I think there are only a few places where electricity costs more than 0.40 cents. You can rearrange poll options.
If your electricity costs you more than 15 cents per kwh you shouldn't do bitcoin mining. You can't compete with people who pay only 0.02 cents. That's why Chinese dumping bitcoins when they mine it.

Where do you live? 20 cents is too much for mining. You can't earn much money while others mine for 2 cents per kWh.

too high, 0.25 euro if i surpass a certain limit, otherwise 0.2, mining is out of the question with this rate

i want to add that because of this i was using all the time the "instamining trick" with altcoin to make profit with almost zero electricity, because you turn on your gpu only for the launch of the coin then off again

As a matter of fact you can not earn money if your electricity price is greater then 0.11 USD cents.However, if you live in Greece or a country in similar situation it is not a matter of profit but reachable and safe way of depesiting money for urgent needs.

At the poll my options were not realistic.There are users announcing that they are producing BTC with the electricity price over 0.40 USDcents.

This means to me I want to own BTC but I do not want to register to any BTC market to buy and sell.

This also shows that BTC production at home will always continue concerning privacy issues by the individuals.

I will also repeat the poll with more realistic options.I am writing a thesis over social behaviour of individuals concerning privacy.

I do thank you for your participation.

The more I meet people, the more I like my dog.
