Some of these numbers are very low. $30/h for Bitcoin Private? Seems inexpensive, what am I missing?

You're not missing anything. The coins are literally worthless other than to those who trade them on crypto exchanges, to steal each other's lunch money. Plus, launching an attack isn't just a case of paying $30 per hour. You need to have a client able to perform whatever your aim is for the attack, which requires a level of coding knowledge. And dev's at that level of knowledge are probably earning real money for their time.

No one uses it. So you attack it. Cool. You can't turn it into USD or anything else, so you just spend $30 for nothing.

It's listed on several exchanges [0], so assuming you can carry out the attack, you could pretty easily profit. Not a ton of volume, but you could make some money.

And, that's exactly why it only costs $30.

But you still get the prestige of having taken down a coin.
