The coinsman article says the operation currently accounts for "perhaps 5 % of the total network". Taking that claim at face value, that's 180 BTC per day, or 5400 a month, 2,700,000 USD at current rates. Minus electricity, 1,700,000 USD is left to cover other costs and startup expenses if the price remains stable (ha!). Is that reasonable? I don't know.
