I pay .18 cents a kw. Progpow maybe unmineable. Wildkeccak is the way to go.

The main factor in mining is the electricity .... nothing else.

You do realize that mining profitability is relative to coin price and difficulty, not just absolute wattage? For example, on my GTX 1070, Wild Keccak uses 92 W while MTP (Zcoin) uses over 150 W. But I still mine the latter because it nets me much more, even after paying for electricity.

Absolute wattages can be a problem due to hardware health and noise, but you can usually limit those by other means. In fact, reducing total power will often increase efficiency (hash/J).

Thx...but I know about efficiency. Also included to that statement ... mining profitability is also related to electricity ...which governs difficulty and price.
