$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

I may be behind on the times, but I'm pretty sure an expensive 200ish terahash setup will consume ~3500W.

To make $100k in 3wks you'd need to be doing like 40,000 terahash (ignoring electric costs). Probably 80,000+ accounting for electricity?
