Have you figured how much a day your electricity costs are, your time. Balancing with estimated hardware costs?

For me the electricity costs in this case are zero or so close to zero that it does not factor. I put this on an existing server running in my house that runs 24/7 so I am already paying that cost. The load this adds is as follows. Every 2.5 minutes for 4 seconds there is drive access and a blip from nominal cpu load to about 30% across all four cores. Given this "server" is the guts of an old laptop with an i5 4200U which has a TDP of 15W at full chat the extra costs are probably not even noticed. I will have to explore ROI on disks. My current plan is to build a mining PC with the followig 3 * 1050ti Kalmx (Fanless) to mine ETH 1 * Ryzen 1600 (Big fanless cooler if possible)(Mine monaro) 1-2 8TB HDD for Burst My thinking is if I can get stable and quiet enough this running all three would replace an electric room heater I have, be lower electric cost that the heater and also turn a profit. Not sure the ROI on it but given triple mine capability and double as room heater that it would be better than normal mining rig ROI :)

Fantastic how we can utilize the waste of one operation to reduce the cost of another. I am in the process of putting together a vertualisation system for a witness. Running it most of the time anyway. Vertualising should make it easy to move to a hosted server once configured.

Do you think the hosting costs are offset by the income from being a witness? For the heater thing. The reality is if your PC draws 400W from the wall that is the same heat generation as a 400W electric heater. It is just as efficent at turning electricity into heat. So (99.???%) It is just that in the PC it is producing a byproduct of computation while the heater is just a dumb resistive load. If it works well and the crypto market stops the current downward spiral I will start to explore how far I can push the idea :) The Kalmx card is great choice though. My games rig has RX 480 and with the test mining I have done with that it can sound like a jet engine as it has blower style cooler. So I knew I had to explore fanless alternatives :)
