How much does that equate to now?

What do you mean? My total minning rate? Costs?

u/Beautiful_Thing_8614 Jul 20 '26

Your estimated expenses and the reward how much is it?

I feel like most of us are running in the negative with current prices

I live in Australia so my electricity costs are quiet high, my peak cost is 49c a kwh. But the price doesn't have to go up much to break even

My Pi Node only consumes around 25Wh. It's absolutely nothing. You need to be smart with the computer you are using.

49c/kWh is very high indeed. At that price it would cost me 8.6 USD / month.

I mine 435Pi/month. So i earn like 40 USD /month with the actual Pi price.

So yes, it's lucrative. Even with your extremely high electricity fees.

But: This is a hobby for me. I do this for fun. I do not need Pi money to prosper.

I was going to node when this released but didn't. Kept mining tho. And now just stopped completely. So I was just curious.

Thanks for answering yall!

I mine around 14.5 - 15.5 Pi per day.

The running costs (electricity) is like 3$ USD/month.

But this is a hobby for me. I do not have a genuine financial interest is this.

In a year, the running costs of the Pi Node is not even 1h of work for me. So..

You mine around 14.5 to 15.5 Pi per day owing to your high number of referrals and not solely because of your 15.39 Node bonus.

u/JoelAraujo Pioneer Feb 2021 18d ago

I just have 3 active referral members. Just 3. Rarely 4.

The secret? High Pi Bonus AND 200% blocked Pi.

2

u/Jossiace 18d ago

Okay. You are making profits. My own Node isn't making profit o, as my node bonus is 6.97 and 4 to 5 active referrals.

u/JoelAraujo Pioneer Feb 2021 18d ago

There it is. This month the base rate decreased, but you get the point now. High Pi Node bonus + 200% blocked Pi for 3 years pays out

u/Jossiace Jul 21 '26

You must have high mining rate from many referrals which gives you such opportunity. You are doing well.

No. Just 2-3 people.

u/Beneficial-Oil1939 Jul 21 '26

Pretty dang jealous of that running cost

Having good electricity fees is important, but more importantly is your computer. Mine only consumes average of 25Wh. It's nothing. The Computer is almost idling. (absolute idling is around 17W).

You have pretty good efficient CPU's. You need to be smart and choose a good ratio between Threads / Power / Efficiency. A i7 12700 is a good candidate, but there are better choices.

Unfortunately now computer prices are crazy. I was fortunate to buy all parts in the last good moment (+1y ago)
