Looks like Team Ion is in full force. You wait and see if they don't team up to take back the cherry flavor he craves so much. I would honestly think he would be tired of it by now but to each their own.

What I meant to say was hey there @Pandacoder and @NCSU_Sealy Welcome to the team. You have arrived at the best of times. :respect:

[Ion] · Nov 14, 2014

Ahh, but they're all crunching on their own HW under their own names. Everything I have under my name is HW I personally own

Welcome aboard gentlemen!

I think he's actually my minion btw, and thank you. :]

It's all good. I can say that I would definitely crank up one of the dual hex cores with 3 HD 79xx cards and have the other rigs with similar cards crunching full time if we were ever to get another GPU project. I think I have 7 or 8 of those cards all together. I just can't justify the cost in electricity of running more rigs than I'm running now. But the incremental cost of running those cards compared to the points it would generate would be well worth it and I jump on that opportunity with both feet.

I've even thought about getting some sort of solar installation to help defray my electricity costs, but where I am, there's just no way it would ever pay for itself. Not at the present cost per watt at least. But in a few years, that might change. If that ever happens and I can get my effective rates down to maybe 10-15 cents per kilowatt hour, I might consider jumping back into crunching in a big way. But for now, I have to set limits for myself.

Where are you located that electricity is that expensive? Here in Central NC residential electric rates are around 9c/kWh...

New Jersey. I pay about 20 cents per kwh. Maybe a fraction of a cent less, but let's call it 20 cents.

[Ion] is spoiled from only living where everything is fairly cheap, he's never been exposed long-term to prices in places like NJ or LI. I think in SWVa it's around 11-13c.

The ole inside scoop on Ion eh! Your not safe now my friend.
4.9 Cents kwh here in Nova Scotia. I pay an average per month thou. $87 no matter the usage. It does however get recalculated every January. I have wood heat to buffer me through the winter so that helps a lot.

Yeah, NJ really sucks in terms of the cost of living. I pay in taxes more than what rent used to cost me. Of course I did have a rent controlled apt, but still. My car insurance alone is more like a car payment - thank god I don't have one of those as well.

The only thing I've going for me this year is the price of oil. Fortunately the bottom has fallen out of that market so I should be able to fill up my tank for a lot less than last year. But even there, once all the middle men add on there profit margin, you still end up bending over.

I think you know what you can do with your low rates and nice warm fire . . . . :shadedshu:

Easy now feller. What we save in rates we spend on alcohol smokes and plaid jackets. It all evens out in the end. :laugh:

Edit: P.s. Hey buddy! Ya got any smokes? Eh?
Because the last statement is a had to be there moment I will let you all in.

Well at 4.9c/kWh a computer heater for a small living space (apartment) could possibly be feasible.

When I need my room warm I just close my door and watch a video on my computer. Min[Ion] likes it cold and breaker-trippy.

No smokes but I've got any type of nicotine you want - spray, inhaler, gum, patch, lozenge. I'm seriously addicted dude. It really sucks. But at least I don't smoke. The transition from cigs to nicotine can be a little tricky but only lasts a day or two. Once you've switched over, you don't even think about smoking any more - well, not really. I don't anyway, but it's been a really long time for me. The problem for me is cutting down so I can be completely free.

LOL about the plaid jackets. That's got to confuse the hell out of the lesbians. Sorry if I'm not being politically correct there.

Started when I was 21 ffs. The g.f. has an inhaler with the liquid Nicotine. Jokes aside we like our weekend sips so it is hard especially around friends and family that smoke as well. This very moment our .gov is getting ready to Ban all flavored liquid Nicotine products. Talk about backwards thinking. High hopes that they just regulate the sale of said products because by all accounts (yourself included) they make all the diff to a pile of people.

twilyth · Nov 14, 2014

I'm not really a fan of the vaporizers mainly because most of the nicotine that's used is made in China and isn't regulated or tested. I don't mean to be China bashing here. It's just that anything that is going to be consumed needs to be tested, preferably via GCMS (gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy). There's a company in the UK that uses GCMS, or at least claims to, for all of their ingredients, but unfortunately that's not standard procedure for the vast majority of vendors AFAIK.

All of the products I've used are pharmaceutical grade. I've tried vaping with the UK product I mentioned but even that made me hack worse than smoking. The bitch of it is that I never smoked very much. I can't really tolerate it. Nicotine only became a problem when I switched to the replacement products. How screwed up is that? :shadedshu:
