most efficient is what makes you the most money
sometimes i get the feeling that at least a good quarter of the people here get x amt of dollars a month and think theyre making a profit, even though their electricity costs + equipment depreciation is 2x
Because as a GUIDELINE, 10MHs/W will be more profitable than 1MHs/W. I'm sure you know this, so please stop nitpicking.
what?
90% or more of the posts in this thread are listing better efficiency by lowering overall output
where is this guideline you speak of?
I am pretty sure the guideline he speaks of is common sense. 10 is better then 1 if your looking for more of something.
10 apples is better than 1 apple, yes.
So one bawzz super elite 200wpm typist costs you $20 an hour to employ as a medical transcriptionist... you can outsource to India and employ four 100wpm typists there for same price. first is more efficient, second gets you more money
Both of your analogies doen't make any sense, because that's not what ANYONE in this thread is posting. Almost everyone in here is posting (total product gained / total cost of obtaining product), which, in your annalogy, would be wpm/$. 200wpm/$20 (one uber typist) is 10wpm/$. 400wpm/$20 (4 typist at same money) gets you 20wpm/$. Second is more efficient, AND gets you more money. See the correlation? The two are the same. In our case, we're dealing with MHs/W, instead of wpm/$.
Also, 10 apples are better than 1. Yes. However, buying 10 apples per $ is more cost EFFICIENT than 1 apple per $, which is exactly what mining efficiency is all about.
