Making $114 a day mining Bitcoin in Jakarta

Ah, but what does $114 a day buy you in Jakarta? If it pays for your housing and expenses, that's not a bad way to spend an extended beach vacation...

Edit: Also, depending on how you want to look at it, the hour value is a bit off. $114/day * 7 days/week / 40 hours/week = $19.95.

Also, it doesn't exclude the option of a day job + the $114 you get "for free" once you've set up the farm.

As far as I understood from the article, this thing is not set up and forget affair, it requires maintenance. I imagine if you leave it and some cooler breaks, it could very well cause a fire or melt down completely.

Not really. If one cooler breaks, the card shuts off on its own.
