12:18:24 hi 12:20:34 how to measure what power consumption has this server https://www.supermicro.com/en/Aplus/system/2U/2123/AS-2123BT-HTR.cfm 12:24:29 It depends on what you run on them. PSU limits it to 2000W 12:24:51 To measure, plug it into a watt-meter 12:24:57 mining with 8 cpu 12:25:04 i dont have it 12:25:10 i want to buy it 12:26:18 Mining will probably get you close to 2000W 12:34:41 and what this means in terms of money if 1 hour power consumption == 5 cents 12:43:00 how to understand how much time i'll need for having my money back after buying that server 12:44:31 5 cents for what? For 1 kWh? 12:44:38 then 2000W is 10 cents per hour 12:44:49 yes 12:45:57 Check any mining calculator: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr?HashingPower=200&HashingUnit=KH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=2000&CostPerkWh=0.05&MiningPoolFee=1 12:46:03 I'm assuming 200 kh/s for 8 CPUs 12:48:17 https://xmrig.com/benchmark?cpu=AMD+EPYC+7451+24-Core+Processor 12:48:47 4 * 19875 = 79500 12:49:06 right ? 12:49:16 4 CPUs or 8 CPUs? 12:49:21 8 cpu 12:50:48 https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr?HashingPower=80&HashingUnit=KH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=2000&CostPerkWh=0.05&MiningPoolFee=1 12:50:53 you will be losing money 12:51:22  why? 12:51:32 power consumption is too much 12:54:37 It all depends on how much you will be spending on electricity 12:54:50 if it's 2000W and you pay $0.05 per kWh, it will not be profitable 12:56:19 Thank you for your deep explanation 12:56:56 the last one why you said 200 khs and i found 80 12:57:09 you choosed other cpus? 13:06:39 Yes, I thought it would be more powerful CPUs (Zen2 EPYCs) 13:26:44 Is any profitable configuration for Monero 13:27:12 with power consumption 0.05 cent/hourly 13:28:04 i don't understand how the miners keep mining if there is no profit at all 13:29:11 i trust Monero as the real crypto but devs must do smth about miner profits 13:35:07 Thats up to you to work on adoption 13:35:49 Miner profits are a calculation of difficulty vs marketprice. If difficuly rises with market price, you dont become more profitable 13:37:59 Coins with a lot of profit are more centralized.. meaning, the reason you get more profit is because there is more money is being investmented into buying the coin, than is going towards mining. 13:39:16 Devs don't have to do anything about miner profits 13:39:32 Devs care about decentralized and stable network, not miner profits 13:39:43 Mining is a zero sum game, and only the most efficient miners win 13:43:43 i dont want a lot of .i want yearly 10% back 13:44:14 is too much? 13:47:22 It should be more than 10% with cheap electricity and an efficient rig 13:47:41 it should be 3-4 years ROI, last time I checked 14:18:03 cheap electricity  < 0.05 cent  ? 14:18:50 is anywhere online a real config of efficient rig ? 14:19:09 i searched but really i didn't found 14:21:03 The most efficient rigs is dual EPYC 7742 (close to 100 kh/s at 600-700 watts) 14:21:21 but expensive 14:21:33 but you can try to find it second-hand, maybe someone sells it for cheap 14:24:28 where is proved that that is the most efficient rig 14:25:02 any link 14:26:23 https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/jx5zkw/100khs_128cores_700w/ 14:26:55 Zen3 EPYCs can be slightly more efficient, but I doubt you'll find them for cheap price 14:29:08 someone with deeper knowledge than me must connect https://www.cryptocompare.com  with ebay prices 14:30:07 and the connection  is ebay prices == > how fast money will be back 14:30:22 3-4 years is good ROI 14:30:49 30% yearly is very good 14:32:15 3-4 years was for Ryzen 3900X or 5900X rig 14:32:19 it can be more for EPYC 14:35:12 yes but epyc is much more expensive 14:35:43 my epyc example was not good 14:35:55 maybe of power consumption 14:35:58 i dont know 14:46:55 can you give an example for epyc 15:04:34 how to have a ROI about this eBay-Artikelnr.:144884238920 15:04:51 with 0.05 cent power consumption 15:18:07 product price  / hash power - power consumption  == ROI
