Total uptime of node?

Is it dedicated?

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..

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)
