I belive the rbox only uses 40w but i could be corrected on this.
What do you run yours on and can you still use the computer for basic things while mining?
If i make half my money back then i'll be happy, just don't want to loose more than i put in.
I thought about cloud mining but after a bit of research i don't really trust it.
Im really just trying to learn everything i can about all aspects of bitcoin.

Just including your other comment from the cloud thread.

It does use 40w, but have not measured it at the wall....yet.
I mine with a Raspberry Pi Model B+ (another 7w) as the controller.

So my little experiment is using 47w to mine at 34GH at approximately $0.08 kWh.

Use a mining calculator to see what you will make back. There are a few, but here is a link to one:

Just remember, its the ASIC, some form of controller, power to the ASIC and the controller, and internet costs.

Unless something unusual happens, I doubt you will make any positive return on investment, but you will no doubt learn something at least.
