I'm just wondering If I rent my storage, will it cover cost of electricity and HW amortization on average? Or will I lose money?

- edraferi 10y agoThey idea is to make use of unused storage capacity in existing machines, rather than standing up new ones just for Storj. The electrical cost should be minimal if your computer already stays on most of the time. That said, I haven't seen hard numbers on the background compute load and associated marginal increase in power consumption. Shouldn't be anything close to the CPU-Hard task of Bitcoin mining though.
