There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

How much do you need to pay per KW/H.
kWh ("kilowatt-hour"), not kW/h ("kilowatt per hour").

0,1077 euro per kWh, on the max scale. It's not terrible, but i hear price rises are on the way, which makes me a sad panda. At least my mining rig is pretty energy efficient.

As with the other Texan in this thread, I pay a paltry $0.091 per kw/h (drops to $0.089 if i go above 2,000kwh for the month).

So mining makes sense because it can actually net me a profit!  Grin

$.12 here in the desert, mountain south west. We have to import our power.

Thing is, I'm living in the "Solar Capital of the World". We've got over 300 days of sunshine every year with lots of solar arrays. Wish I had one to mine on though. :-)

0.2225 € per kWh in germany. (roughly 0.15 USD)

Could have been much cheaper with nucular power (0.08 € at least), but i opted for green electricity and on top i do pay an additional 0.0125 € per kWh to support development of solar/water/wind power plants even further. Makes it a little bit hard to get profits out of bitcoin, but i'm not going to support a third tschernobyl/fukushima. Smiley

I dont think German nuclear energy plants are as bad operated and secured as Chernobyl and Germany isn't in an earthquake-sensitive enviroment so the reactors won't harm much.


If I took gray-electricity (not green) it would also cost me around 8-10 eurocents.

Right before I started mining; I called my power company and had them switch me to "budget billing"; which takes your usage over the last year, and divides it out evenly per month. Wink  Boy are they going to be surprised this month! LOL!

0.08/kwh (cdn) It was cheaper in the last province I lived... like 0.06 / kwh... But oh well. It's all Hydro-electric anyway.

If I qualified for the commercial rates in my old province, it would've been like 0.03 / kwh Smiley

Still easy to make money at mining... around $40 a month to mine at around 1GHash/s  by my calculations.

It's around 20 c AUD here. We have solar panels, but get a feed in tariff of 44 c for exporting to the grid, so the opportunity cost of using power during the day is actually higher.

Very neat... so every kwh you use costs you the 44c.... hmm.. does your closest neighbor have panels? Run an extension cable and just pay your portion of their (perhaps panel free) electricity bill?

Yeah. When's it's sunny that is. The feed in tariff system we have is quite stupid and open to gaming. We could get free power if we used absolutely none during the day, to maximise the export and get paid 44 c, and then run everything at night and pay 20 c. That way, the day-time exporting would help subsidise the nighttime usage.
