Does anyone know how much these professional miners actually earn? I'd love to know.

No sign of a 12-point business plan. Not even a Mission, Vision, Values statement.

It doesn't have to be 'professional' just earn the coins. Not everyone has a ridiculous amount to spend on flashy equipment.

Jee, I literally had no idea this was how big bitcoin mining has become. I thought at most someone would have a few miners in a room lol.

It's also crazy at how quickly the hardware becomes unprofitable and unsuable:



All retired or dead.

actually that mine is not very professionell. the good ones look like this:

That's a lot of machines mining. I'm guessing there are about 5000 computers in the photo.
I wonder how it will look in 5 years

It tells you how many miners and whatnot they have in the article.

2500x 230GH/s = 60 000 USD per week ... so electrical bill is OK  Grin
THe other week is formely to pay miner material (supply and miner) + local and employees.

So the boss have 120 000 USD per month for him... less the local mafia tax.  Roll Eyes

It is crazy. I wonder if Satoshi ever envisioned it would become this big. Does it say how much they actually earn? I noticed it said they spend 60kUSD a month merely on electricity.

Wow, that's huge. Crazy to see how far bitcoin has become. And people still say China has banned bitcoin?  Grin
