Pool and network electricity use, hashrate and miner count distribution 25th June 2013


25th June 2013


0. Introduction
The second week in a row I've posted an update - maybe this is going to be another weekly? I hope the charts are self explanatory, but if not please post a comment and let me know what I need to explain better.

The assumptions I've used to create this data are outlined here.

1. Network: Per Ghps band user count, summed hashrate, and summed electricity.








2. Pools: Per Ghps band user count, summed hashrate, and summed electricity.
Most pools are experiencing declines in the numbers of users in the < 5 Ghps band.






3. Efficiency, joules per Gh (eq. watts per Ghps)
This chart is not meant to be a value judgement on any pool; rather you can think of the efficiency as a guide to the proportion of different types of hashing tools. The higher the J/Gh, the less efficient the hashing entity is (pool, network or solominer), and the higher the proportion of CPUs and GPUs to ASICs.


Since there can be significant variance per week I'm using cubic splines, so curves may vary from week to week.










4. The Survey is still up for a few days!



It's quite possible to make the network electricity use estimate much more accurate, and that's with a survey of miners.



If you haven't had time to complete it yet, please do. Remember to only enter numerical values, and all hashrates are in Ghps, not Mhps.




Thanks for your help!
