At 0.9 J/GH, a full miner would come out to 720-765 Watts, correct?

Using 800 GH/s and 720W over at https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator shows me that network growth would have to average only 10% in order to turn a profit. (This is assuming it takes 20 days from today to start hashing).

I'm on the fence.

no depends on the psu you use.   say your 800gh pulling 720 watts from the psu.  if your psu is  90%  it will pull 800 watts from the wall plug.  So my guess is an evga 1300 watt psu will read 800 at the kwatt  meter.

so some of the cheaper price is lost back on power.

if compared to a s-3   but for  much less price say 100 dollar less then 2 s-3's  you burn  back 50 cents a day in power or 15 usd a month extra for power.  so after 6 months the s-3 is better.

bottom line is   btc needs to go up in price  after you take delivery on this gear.

I do my roi in usd not btc  since I pay tax and do not want to face IRS issues.

the 1.04 btc is cheaper today in USD vs. couple days ago Smiley
buy 1.04 btc with USD instead of using your mined btc.
