Before purchasing several ASICs, calculate the total operation, not just the price of each machine. Add together the hardware purchase cost, combined power consumption, expected electricity expense, applicable hosting or service costs, and realistic estimated mining revenue.
For example, five 3.5 kW ASICs would represent approximately 17.5 kW of continuous power demand, or about 420 kWh per day if they all operate continuously. Even a small difference in the electricity rate becomes significant at that scale.
You should also consider diversification, hardware efficiency, hosting capacity, maintenance requirements, and how changing network difficulty or cryptocurrency prices could affect the operation. OneMiners customers planning a larger deployment should confirm current hosting capacity and conditions for the specific machines before purchasing. Scaling from one ASIC to ten isn't simply ten times the hardware—it also makes operating costs and efficiency decisions much more important.
