It's not unknown that Nvidia cards don't even pay for their own electricity. I dont know why this would change just because you're mining with 18 thousand Nvidia GPUs.

What's the difference between mining with 1 and 18 thousand Nvidia GPUs?
In the latter case, you are losing money 18 thousand times faster.

That was my point. It doesn't make sense with 1 Nvidia GPU, and it makes 18 thousand times less sense to mine with this.

Someone should tell davidspitzer that he does not really want that to be his mining rig =:)

Hay he may be Mining Boinc points

What is amusing is that in 15-20 years we will have the same processing power in our homes.

Side note: I HIGHLY doubt they're paying 10c/KWh. I would be surprised if they're paying more than half that.

It consumes ~9 megawatts to achieve its performance record. That's a bit of a bill to pay.

That must be including for cooling.

That's more than $20,000 per day (using average U.S. commercial rates near $0.10 per kWh).

To earn $7.200 worth of bitcoins.

That answers that question.

I think someone was making a joke and you took it too seriously

Ya I goofed. I had several tabs open and was compiling a response to another thread (roughly same topic, asking about "supercomputer" for mining) and posted that response here in this thread. I hadn't even yet read the link from this post as a result.

That would make a hell of a mining rig. It will hash nearly 10% of all Bitcoin mining capacity at this point ... so about $7,500 USD worth of bitcoins generated each day!

I dont think I would love to pay the power bill though

Don't you all realize this is the government attempt to control bitcoin, they are taking over Grin

Love that graphic on the front, must have cost a bunch just for that.

They need 15 of them just to be able to obtain 51% of the Bitcoin network actual power Wink

I'm I wrong if I say that the BTC Total cumputing power is by far bigger than the top 10 world's fastest supercomputer add togheter ?

Cray Inc. is an American supercomputer manufacturer based in Seattle, Washington. The company's predecessor, Cray Research, Inc. (CRI), was founded in 1972 by computer designer Seymour Cray. Seymour Cray went on to form the spin-off Cray Computer Corporation (CCC), in 1989, which went bankrupt in 1995, while Cray Research was bought by SGI the next year. Cray Inc. was formed in 2000 when Tera Computer Company purchased the Cray Research Inc. business from SGI and adopted the name of its acquisition.

it can work, if you have access to that, and don't need to pay electric.
