RE: How much does it cost to run a Steem voting bot in Google's Cloud?
What is the electricity cost per month of running your in-house server? Is it greater than or equal to $0.18?

Good question, but it's hard to answer. I leave the computer on 24x7 anyway, so I'd have to look at the marginal electricity cost with and without the bot, and I'm not sure how to do that. Also, the computer is running World Community Grid, so any resources that the bot consumes would probably be pulled away from what I'm donating to scientific research. In that sense, it's costing them instead of me.
