Re:Do we really need to run a power station just for Bitcoin? by ScottBurson on Tuesday November 19, 2013 @10:23PM (#6766095)
I assume you mean 10 joules per GigaHash (with ASICs), a joule being a watt-second.

Put another way, such an ASIC doing a GigaHash per second would consume 10W.

It's bad enough that science journalists routinely confuse energy and power units -- let's not do it here on HN!
