Mining since 2010 & Hosting since 2012
I totally forgot about that place, I'm pretty sure there was a forum member that was offering to host ASIC's from there a while ago.

I currently offering hosting here.  It sure is cheap.

What hardware is the most costly in electricity but perhaps cheaper as an initial investment for mining in a very low cost country like kuwait? I.e. are people selling certain GPU's or is there a complete overview somewhere of GH/kwh table?

i suggest 5970 for now, power hungry but cheap....

You guys will love this: about 50 cents a kilowatt hour in the US.

Well, Hawaii to be precise. We call stuff like this: "The Paradise Penalty." I ain't crying though, I'll pay that rate any day to live here.

BTW, I offer 2.5% hosting to multiple vetted miners in the US (see my 2nd link, Post 6) . I may also offer access to hosting in the Netherlands or UAE in the Middle East for similar but will need to talk to my co-op member to see if he has spare capacity.

Portland, Oregon here. We get around 10-12 cents per kWH. I don't know of any places in the US would get as low as 6 kWH. I think around ~10 cents is the lowest for the USA.

Well besides Wenatchee WA area as mentioned, Tri Cities (Richland, Kenn, Pasco) is ~$0.06 KWH.

Pacific Northwest has lots of dams and now a lot of subsidized wind power too!

On the bright side, free heating in winter is a plus...

In my area of Wisconsin I pay less than 9 cents per KW/h because I'm on a co-op that doesn't rape us up the ass. (8.5 cents is actually pretty reasonable considering the the customer:power-line-length ratio.) If you had an industrial membership (think 10k amp 3 pahse service) I believe it gets as low as 5 cents per Killowatt hour.

I'm a British expat in Kuwait.

Electricity is heavily subsidised and effectively free. Less than $0.01 per KwH.

I'm not a miner (not convinced of the return on investment) but I have bought a lot of bitcoins as well as holding some bitcoin securities. If anyone is interested in running a rig out the worlds most air conditioned country with free electricity let me know. Maybe we can put a deal together.

sounds good man...

Douglas County, Washington.  About 2.5 cents/kwh.

I'm pretty sure some of the big farms/data centers are in that area.
