How much do you pay for electricity?

[sun_tzu]

I currently pay ZERO. In manhattan! No, my parents aren't paying for it or anything.. I just have no utility bills!

[jojo69]

so how much current trips the breaker and someone starts asking questions?

[sun_tzu]

Never. 100% included in lease subsidized for whatever silly reason. Sure, I pay manhattan rent ($1800/month) but I pay that with my normal income already. Mining is 100% free for me..

ASICs are tipping the playing field, as with GPUs most of the cost to mine, spent in a year, went to electricity.  With ASICs, most of the cost is in the hardware, with a fraction of that amount going to electricity.   But low cost electricity sure doesn't hurt!

wall to wall racks and a few tons of cooling would test that theory

My hydro rates: Ontario, Canada.

On-peak: 11.7 cents ( 11am - 5pm )
Mid-peak: 10 cents ( 7am - 11am, 5pm - 7pm )
Off-peak: 6.5 cents ( 7pm - 7am )

Plus a bunch of crappy delivery charges and debt repayment jokes.

[yaffare]

about 9 cents here

[thepwnorbpwnd]

0.10

Translates to roughly 60$ a month for the whole apartment of mine with 4 people.

[Suntor]

About 0.12 EUR per kWh here in Finland. Transmission is about 50% of the cost...

[HolyScott]

I do all my calculations just assuming I am paying $0.13 kWh, never really checked the bill though.

[HostNesta]

Because they heard BitCoin has a high value, they inflated my bills.
But i don't do the mining at home.

[HDSolar]

Solar so no bil 

[RyanRed]

On peak its like 15-20 cents.

Offpeak is next to nothing.

Im in Northern California

[zeb00]

in sydney power is billed quaterly and price is broken up into
$0.20 for first 500kwh
$0.26 for next 1000kwh
$0.32 after that

so its hard to make yourself turn a light on in the middle of the night to go to the toilet let alone max out a rack of gpu's

who would have known that digging up coal and burning it was not a good source of power especially after you pay a carbon tax on it.

lucky we send all that nasty uranium over seas for everyone else to get cheap power

[nick0016]

Expensive here, ~0.25 EUR per kwh...

[kuusj98]

28 cents high
24 cents low

I live in the all expensive Netherlands :/
BUT, my parants pay the elec. and my energy efficient HD7850 brings the usage to 180W while still getting ~300Mh/s

For Ontario, Canada it is between 9 and 15 cents per kWh after it is all added up.

[Aahzman]
