- ewillbefull 14y agoWhere do you get that figure? ASIC and GPU devices are completely different in power consumption for the same amount of MH, for example.

- gibybo 14y agoASICs represent only a tiny fraction (for now) of the power consumed by the network though. The vast majority is consumed by GPUs at ~1-2 MHs/watt.
