Which is better for energy consumption vs profit?
All these guys growing weeds for sale of the Blackmarket should just mine, no?
One is legal the other not.
Grow lights, pots+plants, plant food costs a lot probably the same as a diy mining rig.

It would be funny to see which would end up getting you more BTC: selling weed on Silk Road vs. mining Bitcoins.

Grow lights, pots+plants, plant food costs a lot probably the same as a diy mining rig. In some areas you just need to plant the hemp, it will grow naturally. It would be funny to see which would end up getting you more BTC: selling weed on Silk Road vs. mining Bitcoins. Without weed Bitcoins would not be worth anything at all. but you cant smoke bitcoin Yes, You can smoke Bitcoin. My friends only got interested in bitcoins after I told that they can buy ganja with bitcoins. Before that they did not get the point of yet another internet payment system. Ya, growing weed is way more profitable if done properly lol If the Bitcoin price rises quicker than weed can be grown, the end result might be that mined bitcoins are worth more than grown and sold weed.

20 plants 1st harvest = $10k Total year profit = $30k
Considering you have the setup, and solar panels.

A plant can bring in anywhere from $500 to $4,000, depending on the species, quality, and size, according to various sources. A very lucky, expensive rig can bring in $7,000/year with the current difficulty. Add the power costs of Bitcoin mining being almost double that of an indoor grow op, and the evil, baby-murdering nature of the pot trade still brings a better profit than hashing data (as long as you've got at least two plants). It's practically a law of physics, if it's illegal (or immoral, in some cases), it's bound to bring in more money.

No doubt that growing weed is more profitable in most jurisdiction. Then you can sell the crop for BTC and hold.

Depends on the hash rate.
Pre-order today from Bogart Fatty Leaf, Inc., to be in queue for the next harvest.

I don't want to do the complete math but I can tell you this :
Average indoor yield is between 0.5g to 1.5g per watt of lightning every 60 days depending on genetic, technique and experience. Usual lamp are 1000W high pressure sodium light.
Calculate initial investment cost, maintenance cost and market value. Highly profitable but comes with high stress level.

I have not checked hemp seed prices recently. Where I can get decent and cheap outdoor seeds, except darknet shops? I used the seeds from ganja purchased locally, but now the local market have shifted to synthetic cannabis like Spice that obviously have no seeds. It is very hard to find weed that have live seeds in it.
