Do you calculate electricity bills?
Is this ↓ information accurate?
FutureBit Apollo BTC: ~ 125 W in ECO mode and up to ~ 200 W in TURBO mode.
Braiins Mini Miner (BMM 101): ~ 35 W (some sources say ~40 W) at 1 TH/s.
BitAxe Ultra (another/related model in the BitAxe family): similarly ultra‐low, ~ 15–20 W (depending on version) reported.
FutureBit Apollo 2: The consumption is less precisely stated, but the documentation says the integrated power supply is 450 W and typical consumption around ~ 400 W for ~10 TH/s.
I have loosely looked at it but I don’t do it regularly or in any detail. Those numbers seem reasonable but I haven’t measured
Let's pretend these digits are accurate and machines work in top performance mode.
200+40+20+400=660 W per hour
660*24=15840 W or 15.84 kW per day
Electricity cost in my area is around $0.1 kWh, in this case your machines would consume 15.84*0.1=$1.58 of electricity
Final calculation: $1.58/$105'000=~1500 sat. If you daily buy sats instead of paying electricity bills you'd get more sats.
Here comes the question. Do you mine for fun, you have free electricity, or something else?
It’s for fun. I don’t have free electricity. It also earns KYC-free sats
You're a big heart man if you're ready contribute so much into the idea that is going to fix our world.
Have a nice day
See you tomorrow over here
anything worth fixing takes great work; lottery mining is the way to go for the highest level of care for bitcoin, and one shud work on increasing the uptime of the miner; if a man can hash even 1 bitaxe for 5 years under any conditions thru any perturbations at 99.99% (golden standard of four 9's) uptime, then that's a very realiable 1 TH/s out of the 1 ZH/s (or out of a billion bitaxes); that is not an insignificant level of care for the ASIC machine chip;
Day 678 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 426 sats on 4Nov2025!
Running total: 435,863 sats!
