all right everyone welcome back to hashrate up focus today we're going to speak about asic
pricing with my clients of course i speak about asic pricing quite a bit but it's important to
understand how we communicate prices and how we compare different models to each other hashrate up
hardware sales advisory hosting and side brokerage find new and use asic deals through the website
and the telegram channel below make smarter decisions with hashrate up so i've prepared a
little spreadsheet here just to explain this concept we have different asics on here we have
their prices right and with those two data points it's very difficult to now compare the units and
what actually is more expensive versus not because we don't know we don't have any specific unit to
work with right there was a bit of confusion in one of my last videos where i flippantly said hey
the s21 only cost seven dollars what i meant by that was seven dollars per tera hash so the unit
actually at 200 terahash costs $1,400. So what we want to do is include the terahash into our
pricing, the amount of compute that we are buying with the total purchasing price, right? And what
that gives us is if we divide the total purchasing price by the terahash, by the amount of compute
that the unit produces, then we have a specific unit, which is our dollars per terahash, right?
So we have an AH3880 for $11.67 per terahash and an M50S Plus costs $6 per terahash.

actually cheaper versus not. A further concept that Luxor first introduced to me and that they
used, which I found very smart, was to take into account the efficiency of the unit as well.
Because of course, you can sort of figure out, okay, you know, I'm comparing two of the latest
models what's actually cheaper you know it's not going to be much different because the efficiency
is likely the same but it does make sense to look at the efficiency as well and it's easy enough to
do so might as well right after all the efficiency is arguably the most important when it comes to
buying the asic so we look at the power draw we look at the efficiency of the unit and so if we
now divide this price per tera hash dollars per tera hash over here and divide it with the
the efficiency of the machine, we get a unit that takes into account that price per terahash as well.
And what I've highlighted here in green is an M70, which has an efficiency of 14.5 versus an S21XP
that has an efficiency of 13.5, right? And so what this metric now tells us is, okay, there's quite a
big difference here between these two prices. And this is essentially the bonus that you're paying
for one joule per terahash more.
And so doing this gives you an idea of,
you know, is it worth it for me to spend the extra money
on the extra efficiency or not really?
