$100k in 3wks with 10 rigs using standard power outlets at an AirBnB?

I'm dubious.

I totally believe they did this, but I question profitability. The power use alone would be much higher than $1500.

A typical house may have a 200amp service. That would equate to about ~~2400~~ 24000 watts at typical 120v (the voltage consumer computers use).

What's the math on wattage-to-bitcoin (assuming ideal and average system capabilities)?

I don't know enough to know where to start.

Edit: I dropped a zero on the watts

200 amps x 120 volts is actually 24kW.

But that's still not enough to mine any appreciable amount of crypto in that time period.

Thanks for the correction, guess I forgot a zero! Lol

(Not sure how I let that slip, should've been obvious, 2400w is space heater territory on a 20amp circuit).
