Whats wrong with 900W to 1kw per hour exactly? Other than being pedantic I think that saying consumption is 0.9-1 KWH is understood.

Your teacher should have explained to you what is the difference between kW/h and kWh.

But on a marketing site dedicated for miners, that to quote earlier post in this thread:

The fact is that 95% of miners out there have a very rudimentary understanding of computers, algorithms, and programming.

I would add that they also have rudimentary understanding of literacy and numeracy.

This is what makes reading mining forums such a great fun. Are people really that stupid or are they just pretending? How to they are going to bamboozle people with bullshit calculations involving non-existing units of measure like kelvin-watt-henry?

On this occasion I'd like to post a good advice that reeses had given about ~~a year~~ six years ago:

I'd recommend reading "The Big Con" for some of the history, and watching Confidence and The Sting as examples of the "classic" con games.

I read that book, and although it was written between the world wars, it is very pertaining to ~~Bitcoin~~ all cryptocurrecies. Here's a short excerpt:

Locating and investigating a well-to-do victim. (Putting the mark up.)
Gaining the victims confidence. (Playing the con for him.)
Steering him to meet the insideman. (Roping the mark.)
Permitting the insideman to show him how he can make a large amount of money dishonestly. (Telling him the tale.)
Allowing the victim to make a substantial profit. (Giving him the convincer.)
Determining exactly how much he will invest. (Giving him the breakdown.)
Sending him home for his amount of money. (Putting him on the send.)
Playing him against a big store and fleecing him. (Taking off the touch.)
Getting him out of the way as quietly as possible. (Blowing him off.)
Forestalling action by the law. (Putting in the fix.)

I think you precisely missed my statement about being pedantic. I knew what you meant and was saying that everyone reading the marketing speak knew what they meant. They used the wrong unit but everyone still understood, and nothing of value was lost other than it clearly irritates you.

Agree that everyone here that doesnt do this type of work themselves should proceed cautiously and be responsible for their own destiny. Im amazed when I see people immediately pop up and want to order 100 of something with zero understanding or evidence. Fear of missing out or hoping to be the first in and get rich before the jig is up?
