Hello fellow bitcoiners,
I was going to post this in another thread, but I think it's best to make a new post.
One of the biggest costs in running mining equipment is going to be power consumption. 1Gh/w is far and away the BEST offer in this area thus far. We've had others offer estimates so far, and to be fair, these are all estimates until the equipment is running in the hands of the community.
- BFL - 1 watt/Gh +- 10% source
- Avalon - 2-6 watts/Gh source
- ASICMINER - 4.2 watts/Gh source
- bASIC -2w/Gh source
- DeepBit "Reclaimer" -???/Gh
Avalon seems to be unsure of their power usage, thus the wide range. ASICMINER seems pretty sure of their wattage estimates which are 10x more than BFL! I'm not sure about you guys, but 6x the power consumption when you start running any sizable amount of equipment is HUGE.
If there is more info out there that I have not seen, leave a reply and I'll add it in.
Best,
