hey buddies
Always when I read a topic about goldfarming business poeple always say "it not worh it becuase of the elctric price" but don't get me wrong and yes I know that the price is difference for each country

But I live still with me parents and here is a smal list of all the stuff that needs power
We got 5 computers that are running 24/7
We got 2 tv
8monitors
And some other stuff

But even then we don't use more then 4-6€ a day
6€ is not even hard to get

You're right. the price is different in each country, e.g. here in France it's 0.14€/kWh (some odd measurement thing, don't worry about it)
a computer 24/7 a whole year cost can vary, people using botting RiG (decent ones, not overpriced ones...) consume way less than a "gaming computer", because :

- low-end/mid-end video card
- mid-end PSU
- 1 verybad monitor (who cares, I got a 4:3 res one, :D, sleeping mode obviously, no point having it working all day.)
- 2/3 USB peripherals. (kb/mouse/anything you want, that can be in sleeping mode)
- 1/2HDD (including the one that can be in sleeping mode)

So the whole "electric cost" thingy is a lie, yes :)

I'm not even sure you're pulling out half the "average" electricity consumption of a gaming computer.
And anyway, if you're botting for profit, you make profit, right? you're supposed to cover that kind of things.
Also, you understimate the heat that a botting RIG can provide, make it very very quiet, and put it in a room that needs heating, so you just turn off your stuff and enjoy the "free" heating :D my room is entirely covered with the 2 computers not even running 24/7. It's never cold, never hot.
