Comment Comment by vorpalhex A single miner uses 1,300W (Antminer S9) and runs 24/7. That is 218,400Wh for a week.A gaming computer at ~400W, left on 24/7, is 67,200Wh. That assumes you are playing 24/7 - your idle wattage in sleep is < 100W.If you run your dryer every night of the week for an hour, you are using about 38,400Wh.You can game 24/7 and dry your clothes every night of the week and STILL use less power than a modern, efficient single miner node. About 50% less!Bitcoin is a huge waste of electricity, and it is WAY worse than anything else you listed. parent vorpalhex 4 years ago
