Hosting vs Self-Hosting Miners
Compare profitability, risk, cooling load, and day-to-day ops between managed ASIC colocation and running miners yourself at home or in a shed.
Execution Steps
- Calculate all-in cost for self-hosting (electricity, cooling, downtime, maintenance, demand-response opportunity).
- Compare against fixed hosting offers with SLA and support terms.
- Stress-test both options with 10-20% difficulty increase scenarios and curtailment event assumptions.
- Select the path that gives predictable uptime and manageable operations.
Pre-Launch Checklist
- All-in self-hosting costs mapped
- Hosting SLA and contract reviewed
