So now you have your 2 boxes producing 250+MHs scrypt using 2500W of power. You have a 5KW renewable energy source, wow VTC is going places. I stick my 250MHs on a pool that converts scrypt to VTC. This is now the equivalent of 125MHs at 2500W. Using the most efficient hash/power GPU, ie 750Ti, let's do a calculation:

1.8MHs at 450W. But wait it's scrypt-n so 900Khs at 225W. 2500W will give you about 10MHs on pure VTC. You'd be getting 12 times more return from mining scrypt and exchanging to VTC from a power perspective. These numbers don't seem right so please chime in and tell me where this went wrong.


btw: 2500W with 750Ti will give you not ~10M but ~5 MH/s on pure VTC.

and...
There is a Terraminer from Cointerra, 2TH/s @ ~2000W now => so equivalent of 2GH/s scrypt at 2000W => so equivalent of 1GH/s at 2000W on pure VTC,


my 'strange construction' is many times better than your 'strange construction'...
so I'm the winner here Cheesy
