Summary
In this HashrateUp Focus episode, Jesse breaks down how to properly compare ASIC prices – and why looking at the sticker price alone can be misleading. Jesse walks through two key metrics every miner should know: dollars per terahash ($/TH) and efficiency-adjusted pricing ($/TH/eff). Using a live spreadsheet, he shows how dividing total price by hashrate gives you a standardized way to compare machines – and then takes it a step further by factoring in efficiency (joules per terahash) to reveal the true cost premium between models like the M70 and S21 XP. The episode provides a practical framework: instead of asking "which ASIC is cheapest?", the right question is "how much compute and efficiency am I actually buying per dollar?" – a concept Jesse uses daily with his advisory clients to help them make smarter hardware decisions. 🛠 Sponsored by: Hashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple Code: HASHRATEUP100 https://hashbranch.com SoloMining – Home & solo mining made easy Code: HASHRATEUP https://solomining.de Altair Technology – Buy Bitcoin Mining Solutions Code: HASHRATEUP https://altairtech.io 📲 HashrateUp Hardware Deals Telegram: https://t.me/hashrateup 📩 Learn Bitcoin Mining (Free 5 Day Course) https://hashrateup.com/newsletter-sign-up/
