Just got my power bill for last month -- $250! That's my first full month of having my 4x290s, 1x7950, and 4x280x mining pretty much 24/7.

If I look at past power bills around this time I was hitting about $100 and that was likely with a single card folding

Yeah.... I've switched from running 24/7 to only off-peak times. I lose eight hours of mining, but it saves me around $00.10/kWh.

$292 CAD was the last power bill.

Down $3!
Hopefully with BTC rising, so will profits

600 sq ft apt.
live alone.
most of the time im not home.
i dont leave stuff on all the time.
pretty much the only thing "ON" 24/7 is my refrigerator, my HTPC, a wireless router and a 15w CFL bulb in the bathroom lol
my kWh usage last month was 222 kWh lol

the only thing mining in my apt is my HTPC. with a single XFX 270x in it.
runs 470-480kh/s at xI 4
but i run it at xI 3 24/7 because that way i can still use the HTPC, still mines at 365kh/s at the reduced intensity, and playback remains smooth for watching videos and netflix.

my other 2 systems, the remainder of my hashing power (~1.7MH, 1x 7950, 1x 5970, 1x 7870) are in a remote location that i do not pay electric on.

That's cheating.

[Silver_Pharaoh]

Not fair!

But remote location.... Are you the only one who knows that location?
Like, what if someone breaks in and takers your rigs?

 

[gsrcrxsi]

i'll just say it's not an issue.

its not in some random garage somewhere. i check on them every few days. and i check the hashrate reported by a few times a day. if i see that it looks like one of them went down, then i look into it.

but its been going for over 30 days without me having to reboot anything, so its pretty solid.

 

[Silver_Pharaoh]

Oh. So you have physical access to them.

I thought it was just some random place

 

[EarthDog]

Soooooo, why the $50 drop, LOL!!!

 

[gsrcrxsi]

more fake china news probably.

if anyone breathes the words "China ban", it dumps into oblivion

 

[Pierre3400]

Lol, dont read the damn chat on BTC-e then, its only got 2 notes to play on.

To the moon, or China ban.

Looks like a different way to rank the different coins, besides market cap.
