Early findings: (i) i7-5820k @ 3.8GHz draws only an extra 30W when full-tilt running CryptoNight (350H/s), that's awesome (ii) running a 1080TI FTW3 @ 100% pulls an extra 269W, about spec. Every 10% reduction in power target reduces draw by about 30W. Will test performace drop.

Fascinating. 1080TIs seem to see 1:1 gains in hash rates as power increases until about 80% TDP, when the return drops off dramatically 1080s drop off dramatically at . . . 65% TDP? Less? Interesting implications for power use optimization anyway

Ok. Final tally, for 4x1080TI @ 80%, 3 x 1080 @ 70%, 35 CPU cores >= 3GHz is . . . 1779 Watts Comfortably under my 1920W continuous limit although a bit dull numerologically main remaining concern is the fridge. rated 6.5A full-load, which would be (eep) 780W, insta-game over

GOTCHA 160W, pathetic. Can't believe I was worried about that damn food hole Modem (<7W) + router (<8W) basically negligible, as is Penny's Litter Robot (<4W rotating). Monitor + speakers + usb dock are 70W together tho, gotta watch that

Okay, off to catch up @ work but I think I'm set. Last task: replace one more 1080 on top of my workstation after a guy comes in to finish fixing the ceiling tomorrow Overall have say, the fire what burned through my ceiling was a small, basically-insignificant bump in the road

I wish the government would just fucking rob me directly instead of forcing me to keep meticulous records of the size and associated fees and contemporaneous USD value of BTC for every fucking daily payout

Hmm. Evaluating "include the fair market value of the virtual currency, measured in U.S. dollars, as of the date that the virtual currency was received." Wonder if I can defend use of the daily low price.

Do I need to pay self-employment taxes if I already max out SS/Medicare tax at my day job? Does wiferobot's rental duplex fuck things up further? What about quarterly estimated taxes? Join me as I investigate these and other exciting issues and slip deeper into anarchocapitalism

Replying to @eigenrobot
you, my friend, need Eigenrobot, LLC., incorporated in Delaware, with 100% of your hardware costs as capital investment write-offs.

good idea. going to look into creating an S-corp for this purpose. think I can already depreciate my hardware in my sole proprietorship, Eigengroup Consulting, but there are probably some advantages w.r.t. income treatment
