Do we have to pay electricity costs if we purchase? If so What is the combined wattage of the miners?
I am very interested Cheesy

Heh, no my prices include electricity.  I'm paying very cheap Washington hydro prices.  Honestly I should probably shut down the Rockminer T1 but I've underclocked it to reduce it's wattage and it's doing ok.

Whole thing draws a little under 2KW.  I don't make much on this rental tbh, I'm offering this more for the fun of keeping the stuff running and a little money on the side without the stress of watching bitcoin 24/7 for the next price jump. Wink

One thing everyone should know though:  This is a rural location with reasonably reliable electric (mostly underground wiring here), but it's still not battery/generator backed.  If electricity goes out though, I'll arrange a usage extension in the contract.

How often is there a power outage?

Thanks (:

We usually have a few hour electrical outage about once every 3-6 months, depending largely on weather.  It is obviously more common in the winter, less in the summertime.
