The two settings that matter most

A custom miner lets you choose power and energy efficiency. These two numbers affect both your potential mining revenue and your electricity cost.

Power, TH/sYour mining capacityMore power can produce more gross reward, but costs more to buy and maintain.
Efficiency, W/THEnergy used for each THA lower value reduces the electricity component for the same power.

Create and compare a configuration

  1. 01

    Open Create new miner

    Sign in, start the new miner flow and choose Custom. The exact location or label may change as the interface is updated.

  2. 02

    Choose a realistic power level

    Set the TH/s amount you are actually considering. Avoid starting with the highest possible number just to make the daily reward look larger.

  3. 03

    Compare efficiency

    Move between available W/TH options. Note how the purchase price and maintenance estimate change. Lower energy use can cost more upfront.

  4. 04

    Record all current inputs

    Write down power, efficiency, price, current hashprice, BTC price and the discount percentage that applies to you.

  5. 05

    Check the calculation independently

    Use our rewards calculator with the same inputs. The net result should equal gross revenue minus discounted electricity and service costs.

  6. 06

    Save a comparison link

    Select Share calculation. The page creates a URL containing your values, so you can save or compare it without taking a screenshot.

  7. 07

    Review the final purchase screen

    Before paying, confirm the miner price, the precise efficiency and any promotional terms in the app itself.

How to compare two miners fairly

Keep BTC price, hashprice and discount identical when comparing configurations. Change only power or efficiency. This isolates the effect of the miner choice instead of mixing it with a different market assumption.

Lower W/TH is useful, but it is not the only decision.

Compare the extra purchase cost with the expected reduction in daily maintenance. A more efficient miner is not automatically the fastest route to recovering your purchase price.
