15:19:08 <hyc> my solar panels are online now. 4.35kW capacity, got peak output of 3kW today with partly cloudy skies
15:19:54 <hyc> 5kWh battery charged up to full in a couple hours, excess power dumped into my water heater for a while, now I'm sending 1kW back to the grid for 24c/kWh
15:20:41 <hyc> I guess it's time to shop for a rig with a 1kW power budget ;)
15:21:31 <hyc> though I think selling power back to the grid for 24c/kWh is more than I'd earn from mining. ?
15:25:42 <sech1> 1 kWh can mine you 15c worth of XMR right now at current difficulty and price, even if you have 150 h/s/W rig
15:28:21 <hyc> ah, not a win then.
15:59:10 <sech1> huh, at current price and difficulty, just divide rig efficiency by 10 and you'll get how many cents per kWh you can mine 150/10 = 15
16:09:46 <paulio_uk> <3
16:10:42 <paulio_uk> Was thinking if you went down the Epyc 7T12 option route - that'd be near enough to 100kh/s ... whacked into the XvB raffle you could stand to land a fair bit of hashrate which might peak you over the 24c/kWh point
16:11:27 <paulio_uk> its a gamble, but heck on average one win of the raffle is getting me between 0.01 XMR and 0.1 XMR
16:12:34 <paulio_uk> I reckon with some tuning, you could get around 80kh/s for ~ 600Wh
16:15:16 <paulio_uk> then you'd just need another 20kh/s rig to get into the 100kh/s whale round - a 1 in 7 chance of winning (currently), along with the vip, donor and donor_vip rounds
