Why Most Profit Models Fail

Many miners overfit optimistic assumptions and ignore operational variance. A useful profitability model must include downside scenarios and realistic uptime expectations.

Core Inputs

  • All-in energy cost (not only base kWh rate).
  • Expected hashrate and efficiency at real operating temperature.
  • Pool fees and payout assumptions.
  • Uptime and maintenance variance.
  • Difficulty and BTC price scenarios.

Decision Flow

  1. Build base case with conservative assumptions.
  2. Add downside case (higher difficulty, lower uptime).
  3. Add stress case (combined adverse assumptions).
  4. Only scale when downside remains acceptable.

Execution Tip

Use one standardized template across procurement cycles. Consistency improves decisions and reduces emotional buying during market swings.
