Hash / What!?!?

[Trongersoll]

everybody posts their Hash/sec numbers. i'd be just as interested in Hash/Watt numbers. the first give you the likelyhood that you'll find something. The second, some of the cost.

Yes please let me know what is the cost of mining a bitcoin.
I'd like to buy at that price.

I can't provide you with the precise numbers, but I can say that when I ran a test with a laptop, I was getting 6,200 H/S and the battery was slowly draining even while charging on an 85 Watt power supply.  ...so, at least 85 Watt/hours or 262KHWH (kilo-hash-watt-hours)

That sort of shenanigans is likely to burn up an $90 power supply in a few months so that should be factored into your net.

Forum can provide you with 100s of people reporting $/Wh if you search, too.

Kill a watt can help track the usage.

Use Killawatt to see what your rig draws and divide khash by that number.

i'm just curious because i'm trying to think outside the box. I'm going to build a rig to mine that should only draw about 40 Watts. Until i build it and get it running i will have no idea what it's hash rate will be. Otheres have probably tried this unsuccessfully and i'm wasting my time and money, but isn't that what hobbies do?
