$100k in 3wks with 10 rigs using standard power outlets at an AirBnB?
I'm dubious.
I totally believe they did this, but I question profitability. The power use alone would be much higher than $1500.
A typical house may have a 200amp service. That would equate to about ~~2400~~ 24000 watts at typical 120v (the voltage consumer computers use).
What's the math on wattage-to-bitcoin (assuming ideal and average system capabilities)?
I don't know enough to know where to start.
Edit: I dropped a zero on the watts
Homes in North America are actually split phase 240v so it would actually be 240v * 200 or 48,000w. Not that I'm here to say you're wrong for your primary point, but the incoming supply is a 200amp fuse per leg (120v to neutral, 240. Leg to leg), with any imbalance returning though the neutral line.
