I'd have to calculate it I guess....
I'm just running my old 1070's.....4 of em....
heaters....

Hey folders !

This seemed like the appropriate thread for this.

I just got my electrical bill, I'll be retiring from folding ((? ?) for a bit at least)
haha

Here's my last stat as of when I shut everything off (30 mins ago):



------

This might be the end.
My garage is gonna be chilly.

If you have a GPU to donate me, I will donate an equal amount of electricity ( at the market value of the card), folding 24/7 on that respective gpu.

Greed killed folding, and I have zero compassion nor remorse for whatever befalls those that thought lining their pockets with "free" money was more important than saving lives via protein folding.

I assume almost everyone who folded went over to mining?

Almost

@BrainEater you get me 2 x 1070s, I will fold on them to equal their market price in electricity.

I agree with ya CMetaphor.
I've never liked mining. I've donated 20 years of 98% of my computing power to folding(and a bit of SETI), for free.
Didn't even get a shirt, but I might make one.

I still need the 1070's..... they just won't be doing much.
4x1070 + 2x xeon 8 cores = 250$ a month right now, that's too much.

Greed is one of, if not THEE greatest of problems we have in the world.

In the effort to reduce my consumption, Ive done a bunch of work.
I've shut off folding, and I've shutoff my second rig.
------
I went and bought 200$ worth of led's to replace the last fucking hotwires in my house.
-----

Folding was 1000 watts continuous .
While not continuous, I've replaced these :



That's 1500 watts of fucking hotwire bulbs.........
137 watts now, to have more light !
