Topic: My ASIC Performance Figures, 9 Months In (Read 1027 times)

To the tards that were arguing with me about the fact that Avalon Batch 2 will never ROI: FUUUUUUU!!

Nice to see someone looking honestly at the figures, namely doing everything in BTC not using the common mistake of using the BTC/USD rate to hide the fact their bitcoin mining machine mined less than it cost.

Apart from Avalon batch #1 and #2 I don't think any hardware has been a good buy, though it's been a fun ride

I'm going to tty and do the same thing and post it later.

Wow, thanks again all of you for the feedback! This is something we've maintained internally for a while. I realized I hadn't come across anything similar and thought I'd share.

We use a single, exclusive receiving address for each miner for the duration of its service. This eases record keeping -- our production data is directly logged in the blockchain, and it's easy to recover each device's daily production history regardless of changing pools or what have you.

Speaking of pools, 80% of the above production went through eligius; the majority of the rest went to hhtt.

I value the process of manually entering the production data from the blockchain every few days. It's a five-minute task at most, but keeps me in touch with how things are really going for our mining operation!

We've operated with our mining operations fully on the books and handled as a foreign currency natively in our accounting, both for income and mining equipment capital expense. It turns out you need to operate in hecto-satoshis in Quickbooks to get the best dynamic range (2 decimals allowed for currency amounts, so hecto-satoshi is the proper native unit for bitcoin).

I've hit my quota for bitcointalk for the evening, but it'd be great to see similar info from other people. I'll work on getting the spreadsheet imported into google docs with its functionality intact...

[edit: It feels wrong to call BTC a "foreign currency" ]

well than you can hash till the end of mankind, nice 

< $0.01/kWh below a building cap; ~$0.062/kWh above (which hasn't happened yet). We couldn't scale much at our facility w/o triggering the increase. (http://www.seattle.gov/light/accounts/rates/SummaryRateImpactsAdoptedSep17.pdf ; the rate structure is due to our lease.)

excellent work!

How much do you pay for electricity?

Everyone would be good to do this and so the community can get some primary data which is not based on hype, spin or speculation but on information given to us directly from first-hand sources and what is great about it is that the data is fresh right from the users. It be nice if it were compiled so that you could do a more in depth analysis of the mining equipment.

Excellent template so far maybe a spreadsheet or website to enter the data?

E,

this should be stickied here.

Thanks for the feedback -- I'm glad it's useful! I'll add a chart of daily btc generated a little later.

Nice table...

Like to see more people do this.

It's been about 9 months since I placed my first order for an ASIC miner; I thought I'd share my results to date from various vendors' machines:



All shipping and accessory costs are included in BTC Cost; BTC Mined is net of electricity.

In order of stability / uptime / hassle-freeitude:

Avalon > Jal/LS > KnC Saturn > Aug. Bitfury > Oct. Bitfury


It's been a lot of fun, and so far the only purchase I've made with external funds (i.e. not mining income) was for a 5830 back in spring of 2011. Thanks for the ride, bitcointalk!
