Just curious....how much do you actually mine yourself?

Well for quite a while now I mine 18hrs a day, since in the middle of the day it costs me around 40c/kWhr so that'd never happen Tongue

Currently it's only one Avalon6 (I can only really run 2 due to power limitations) so around 3.6THs 3/4 of the day.
It was 2 of them since December but recently I fried half of one due to weird circumstances and it's now upstairs and too loud to run so it's off until I either swap in a quieter fan from something else or just leave it off. It's not very loud, but loud enough to not want it on during the night.
You can of course see my hash rate on the list with everyone else

Edit: as clgrissom3 said

and I thought me paying 14c/kwhr is high..... 40c/kwh is just crazy down under, aud and sgd is around the same ROE.

someone should take a list on power rates across all countries... will not be surprise if we have a kano miner in Iceland with 3c/kwhr !

...hence my "Here, Ampy Ampy!"...we pay US .45/kwh here...and it's supposed to be a co-op (don't get me started). I only get free power because of my personal status and living in a subsidized complex. I couldn't afford it, either. Folks here w/PV can do it, however, as they're paying an average of .17-.20/kwh instead. I run my household (now) on 30A/120V and it's a challenge. I can run 2 S7s...now I have another S7 for backup, and six S3s I can't use at all now just for no power. I'll hang on to them for now.

Have you thought about sending your s7's to a hosting service?

Of course...won't do that. My overhead here is zero (other than a bit of noise and keeping the new kitten from climbing the equipment rack). I've the one S7 and six S3s (all with kickasspower psu's) in reserve; I just don't care much about having gear in someone else's keeping, no matter how good their rep. That's my PTSD, partly, and some of it is having spent some years in intl banking law enforcement...I don't trust hardly anyone. Undecided

The partner who helped me get this far is very close to getting into it directly himself ('cuz I'll have him paid back by the halving...and he's been getting his learning curve by watching me). I likely will "pay forward" at least part of this gear to get him up to speed without having to deal with the "where to get it and will it work OK" thing. He's a bright guy, but only got exposed to btc this past Thanksgiving. He doesn't pay for power, either. Roll Eyes
