Limited, but transparent remote access to monitoring

Limited, risk of poor access or lack of transparency

Full — device at home, you manage everything

Low wholesale rates $0.06 kW/h

May promise low rates, but hidden fees or unstable supply possible

Higher rates (> $0.08/kWh), risk of overload

No issue — hosted externally with proper cooling

No issue for you, but facility may lack proper cooling → downtime risk

Very noisy (~75 dB), hot, uncomfortable

Professional industrial cooling systems

Unknown or insufficient, equipment may overheat

DIY (ventilation, AC, soundproofing)

On-site specialists, regular maintenance

May lack qualified staff, long downtime if problems arise

Self-service, requires skills

Almost unlimited — can host dozens/hundreds of ASICs

Claims scalability, but infrastructure reliability questionable

Limited by wiring/space

Minimal if provider operates legally

Risk of operating in “grey” zone → danger of shutdown

Complaints from neighbors or authorities possible

Hosting fee + cheaper electricity (predictable total cost)

Attractive low fees, but possible hidden charges or sudden tariff hikes

No hosting fee, but higher electricity bills

“Plug & forget” — stable, passive income

Uncertain — might need constant disputes with provider

Depends only on your setup (power cuts, overheating)

High — redundancy, 24/7 monitoring, security

Low — may face outages, theft, or company disappearing

You must constantly monitor and repair
