so my electric bill came in

[Kinetic915]

If I mined with 5GH/s at my house in the Socialist Republic of Kalifornia, SCE would run me $720/month before AC costs.  Considering it was 90F today and will be 95F tomorrow, it would probably be $1k with AC running  

$170 is damn cheaper than most everything (except free)

You may get the police busting down the door expecting you to have been growing something inside the house...

I've got a total of 1 card may bump up to 2 at home the rest are at work where I don't pay for electricity   Without mining I used to hit $300-350 in the summer of Texas prices.  After installing the 21SEER AC last year it never went over $150 ish

Has anyone actually ever INVITED the police to his mining rig saying "Hey, I noticed some of my friends got busted out of bed for their electricity bills and so on, could I invite an officer to my place for some coffee so we don't waste valuable government money on me NOT growing marihuana?"

I have actually thought about doing that one day. If my elec bills would climb to a level that might be considered dangerous, I would walk over there and tell them "Hey, I know that police raids tend do happen at 5.30, and to prevent someone busting my door in while i am sleeping, would you want to have some coffee at my place after your shift to see that you don't have to raid me? I would love to see your time rather used on someone that hurts our country."

my neighbor had some rigs going, the cops came in full swat gear with sub machine guns and a battering ram..... theres some tax payer money wasted.

I wish I had 5GH in April..  your system should be good till the end of the year!

electricity gets more expensive day by day

Would love to know where people are getting electricity for 15c/kwhr or even 10c/kwhr, here in Adelaide I'm paying closer to 30c/kwhr and during peak usage (eg, hottest days during summer) it can be >50c/kwhr!

0.08$/kWh here in Quebec/Canada.

Yeah it's ridiculous how much it varies.  In Seattle, WA my mother-in-law gets a discounted rate under $0.05 USD per KWH.  They used over 6500 KWH last month since they have an electric heaters (not gas).

1000 miles to the south in Southern California I have Southern California Edison and their prices are pretty much the highest in the US.  I'm usually at Tier 2/3 border so I pay either $0.29 or $0.35 per KWH using just 300 KWH on average.  If I mine or even use AC a little bit I go to Tier 5 which costs $0.46 per KWH - this happens at just 500 KWH, so obviously my GPU farm isn't at home.

Leave it to California to stifle technology with their green BS. With all their mouthing off about clean solar the state produces much less power than WA state's hydroelectric capacity.  That's why Dalkore is setting up an ASIC farm at $0.02/KWH - that's as close to free as it gets I imagine.

dear god that is alot.  im in LA 1st tier around .15 cents.

I wasn't kidding about my cop story as well!

never invite a cop into your home. someone may have left even a small bag of drugs at your place somewhere you don't know about, the cop may find it.

Fascinating idea. But let's just say this didn't happen and I would probably invite friends over here that carry a badge. Probably the better solution.

fuck cops!
