However if you already have this computing power sitting idly then you should calculate only the costs of the extra electricity that you need to consume to generate a block. Has anybody done this?<br/>If you want to build a bitcoin generation machine you are probably better off buying a FPGA board and designing a dedicated hash calculating hardware monster. <br/><br/>Interesting note: If one puts 4100000 hash/sec in the calculator then you get 10 minutes average.<br/>10 minutes is the actual target average block production rate.<br/>This means that currently the the total computing power working on solving hashes is 4.1 Mhash/s<br/>or about 900 quad cores. or 3-4 thousand laptops. Pretty impressive!<br/><br/>This means that there are some people who think it is interesting to produce bitcoin.<br/>Who knows why, I stopped several difficulties ago.<br/></div> text/html
