Strengths

  • Useful for modeling quotes before the exact machine is chosen.
  • Makes electricity and heat sensitivity visible.
  • Shows how fast payback changes when watts or hashprice move.

Risks to model

  • Not a purchasable unit or manufacturer specification.
  • Readers must replace the model with exact batch data before buying.
  • Cooling and facility costs can dominate small efficiency differences.
