Yesterday I had an interview with Dave Carlson, CEO of Giga Watt. Giga Watt has access to hydro energy, which makes it possible to deliver power at extreme low costs
So the value proposition In a nutshell is that Giga Watts offers you the opportunity to run your own mine, where you could benefit from the local economics (Hydro energy)by offering an all in price of $0.033 Kwh or even less with their tokens. This includes hosting of your hardware, or you can choose to purchase it via them & includes maintance as well.
So if you compare it with cloud mining you get screwed with approximately 45% on your daily awards, since you will pay costs for mining as a service, but lowers the barrier for you to step in at low costs and without having upfront capital for your hardware & with Giga Watt you will have a signification cost advantage compared to the 45% with cloud mining, but you need to have upfront capital for your hardware of course.
You decide what yields better on the long run ok? :)
