| I'm curious what it's like, so here is a small calculation. Some metrics: - 144 blocks per day are mined on average - the current network hashrate is 145M TH/s - a 100 TH/s rig is about $10k. The investment to be able to have full control of mining one block on average, without electricity, internet and storage : - per week: you'd need 143k TH/s (145M / (144 * 7)), so about $14M of investment in just the mining rig (provided you can buy it all) - per month: you'd need 33k TH/s, so $3M of mining rig investment. - per year: you'd need 2.7k TH/s, so about $270k in mining rig equipment. Of course, there are a lot of variables here (e.g hashrate is highly variable), but this gives a general idea. All this for a "washing" method that heavily implicates the miner: the address of the new coins is still known, it's not really "clean", just an unusual transaction. |
