[H-GEN] A modern mining rig

[Tony Bilbrough]

I think the average household uses more than 300W. I'm guessing you 
dropped a few units?
This Bit Coin saga just keeps getting Better.
I can see a great novel coming out of it, at some point.

On a related I wondered just how much energy is devoted to bitcoin 
mining. From [0] we get the current hash rate of 38PH/s (Peta hashes per 
second, Peta == 10^15). From [1] we get an ball park ASIC mining 
efficiency of 1GH/J (1 Gigga hashes / joule). So the power used by 
mining (assuming it's all ASIC mining) is: 38e15 [H/s] / 1e9 [H/J] # 
[...] are units, a sanity check = 38e6 [J/s] = 38 MW # [J/s]==Watt, so 
Mega Watts For comparison, a ball park figure for a typical household 
(averaged over a year) is 300 W. [0] https://blockchain.info/stats [1]
