Profitability at this hashrate
The 124 TH/s reference contributes 124,000,000,000,000 hashes per second to the difficulty-based model. Expected BTC production requires difficulty, subsidy and estimated block fees. The calculator above displays revenue only when those values and a BTC price have a valid source.
Run a WhatsMiner M50S revenue scenario →Break-even electricity
At full uptime, divide daily proceeds after pool fees by 77.38 kWh to obtain this reference’s operating tariff threshold. Each $0.01/kWh adds $0.77 per day to the electricity bill. Hardware recovery and hosting fees are separate.
Efficiency: rated and calculated
The manufacturer lists 26.00 J/TH. Dividing the reference power by hashrate gives 26.0000 J/TH. Power itself is derived from the same rating, so this ratio is not an independent measurement.
Heat output
3,224.0 W corresponds to 11,000.7 BTU/hour. Nearly all electrical input ultimately becomes heat. Running power determines peak heat even when average uptime is reduced.
Cooling requirements
The reference heat load is 0.917 cooling tons. At 25°C intake and 35°C exhaust, the ideal all-air equivalent is 962 m³/h. This excludes pressure loss, humidity, altitude and recirculation. Hydro references require separate coolant engineering.
Operating cost beyond ASIC power
Adding an illustrative 10% facility-power allowance to this reference adds $0.62 per day at $0.08/kWh. It does not increase the 124 TH/s nominal hashrate. Hosting management, repairs and capital must be entered separately.
Add this model to a farm scenario →Methodology
Daily kWh = watts ÷ 1,000 × 24 × uptime. BTC/day uses difficulty × 2³² expected hashes per block. Heat = watts × 3.412142 BTU/hour. Assumes current network conditions remain constant.
