Crypto Mining vs, ATT Stock Dividends

Sep 4, 2018 by Paul White

Bitcoin break even point now at 26 cents per KWH

Mar 26, 2018 by Paul White

As more time goes by the difficulty to mine bitcoin gets higher.  Difficulty ultimately determines how much electricity its going to take to mine a single Bitcoin.  Using WhatToMine.com's ASIC page I calculated that anyone with electricity that costs more than 26 cents per KWH is now spending more to mine, than they are earning.

Jan 24, 2018 by Paul White

I can't believe the amount of time I have wasted to discover this.  I recently decided to upgrade one of my computers from the EVGA 1300 G2 Power Supply to the EVGA 1600 G2 Power Supple.  I just swapped the supplies and the system booted right up. Then a couple weeks later I decided to put my old 1300 G2 into a new build, and it would boot.
