Cryptocurrency Mining vs. Bitcoin Mining Profitability | CoinWarz

Now I'm assuming that the miner which does 9460GH/s at 2600W is current and typical. That makes USD $6.26 of BTC per 24 hours.

If you had 100kW of power available, you could run 38 of these units, which will make you $237 per 24 hours. [I have no idea what these brand/model units are, or how much they cost; you may not even be able to afford to buy 38 of them.]

If the electricity works 100 hours a week then revenue is just under $1k a week.

This extremely rough calc assumes none of that 100kW of power needs to be used for additional cooling, and it probably will - there's no way a standard residential A/C could handle the heat output of a farm using that much power. You'd need a semi-industrial cooling setup.
Power isnt a problem.. Air conditioning might be easier to solve.. Down here they use individual AC units per room, which can take room down to about 60F.. If needed you can add more.. I think the problem is how much a rig like that would cost.. any ideas?
