Strengths

  • Targets Scrypt payouts instead of competing in SHA-256 mining.
  • Can participate in merged-mined Litecoin and Dogecoin pool revenue.
  • Clear power footprint at roughly 80.6 kWh per day.

Risks to model

  • Bitcoin hashprice does not apply to Scrypt revenue.
  • Profit depends on Scrypt pool payout, DOGE/LTC prices, and merged-mining terms.
  • Air cooling still creates substantial heat and noise.
