Thanks to Vice we saw a bit of life in China, but the video is a bit confusing. In the intro they say that the mine generated 4050 BTC in November and the owner of the miner says that they generated ~100BTC per day which would equal to ~3kBTC per month. Either they run into a big loop of luck or something is wrong.

they lie, of course.

a lot of shit. it's only the BTC propaganda

the daily revenue is around 1 MIL per day for ALL the miners. maybe these chineses are the only miners.

the article says they make 1.5 million per month, not per day. even with the price drop, theyre probably still making 750k usd per month or so, which isn't bad at all. Cheesy

What is sh*t is having to be told by a newb you commented sh*t, nothing new though mayax hey.

Colder, business is business and you're right that isn't at all bad

Amazing! So these are the guys that appeared on several crypto media... They have nice farms going on! Seeing it in video just made me even more amazed.

Hope they keep up, even with declining prices. I wish I had such farms, haha Grin

Awesome video , ~ 4'000 bitcoin per month it is very great. The unique problem now it is the low price of it, but maybe they can hold a part ( and pay the electricity bill + "workers").

Leave it to the Chinese to maximize output. They do it in farming and manufacturing, why not Bitcoin.

The authors of the article sounded surprised that the operators live on site. That's actually pretty normal in China. I have a sister-in-law who is a rep for Chinese manufacturers and she's had to get used to that on her trips to China.

Granted their electricity costs are down, as well as BTC profits, but I wonder how viable they are when the cost of the frequent upgrades of their ASIC hardware is thrown in. I expect to see a good chunk of the manufacturing capacity for BTC mining hardware to disappear in 2015, along with serious consolidation between the hardware manufacturers. Unless the price spikes back up.

They sure won't be making 1.5 million a month with these current prices.

Oil is cheaper now so electricity may have gone down for them and difficulty has leveled off so they probably are making less but not that much less in profits. In addition on must consider them phasing out their old hardware and using newer hardware which could make them even more profitable as difficulty increases has flat-lined.

One neat thing is they don't have a heating bill as office and housing is nice and toasty. Would be better if they recaptured more of that heat though, perhaps they will do so to increase profits for future mines?

How much of that would be profit at today's prices? I don't know what Chinese electricity prices are.

Video says that their electricity costs are $80,000 a month. I think that is per location, but not sure.
Good video, i enjoyed it.
Thanks.
