$100k in 3wks with 10 rigs using standard power outlets at an AirBnB?
I'm dubious.
I totally believe they did this, but I question profitability. The power use alone would be much higher than $1500.
A typical house may have a 200amp service. That would equate to about ~~2400~~ 24000 watts at typical 120v (the voltage consumer computers use).
What's the math on wattage-to-bitcoin (assuming ideal and average system capabilities)?
I don't know enough to know where to start.
Edit: I dropped a zero on the watts
200 amps x 120 volts is actually 24kW.
But that's still not enough to mine any appreciable amount of crypto in that time period.
It's also actually 240volt service to virtually any house in the US. 48kW

on brief checking: ah, (large parts of) the US uses a different ground reference (because of fucking course they do)
