Questions people ask
How much power does it pull?
About 100W at the wall, which is 16.7 J/TH. It runs from a normal household outlet.
Do I need my own Bitcoin node?
No. Point it at your own node, or at an open solo pool like solo.ckpool or public-pool.io. Either way the payout address is yours.
What are my actual odds?
About 1 in 2,894 of finding a whole block in a year at 6 TH/s. Those odds come from hashrate and difficulty alone, so your power price changes the bill, not the odds.
