Same machine, two homes: your garage or a OneMiners facility. Over five years, the difference in power cost and uptime compounds into a decisive gap. Here are the numbers.
The hardware is identical, so revenue is identical. What differs is cost and uptime — and over five years those compound. This is the honest head-to-head between running an Antminer S21 XP Hyd at home versus hosting it with OneMiners.
Key takeaways
- ✓ Revenue is the same; power cost and uptime decide the winner.
- ✓ Hosted power from $0.0364/kWh vs a typical $0.12 home rate is the core gap.
- ✓ Over five years, the difference compounds into thousands per machine.
Year-one, per machine
| Setup | Power rate | Monthly net | Annual net |
|---|---|---|---|
| OneMiners hosted | $0.0364 | $690 | ~$8,280 |
| Home (low) | $0.08 | $512 | ~$6,144 |
| Home (typical) | $0.12 | $348 | ~$4,176 |
The five-year gap
Multiply the annual difference across a machine's life and factor in uptime. Home rigs lose hours to heat, dust and outages; a 95%+ SLA protects them. The hosted advantage isn't marginal — it's often the difference between a strong return and a mediocre one.
| Factor | Home | OneMiners |
|---|---|---|
| Uptime | Best-effort | 95%+ SLA |
| Noise / heat | Your problem | Facility |
| Maintenance | DIY | Included, insured |
| Warranty | ~1 yr | 7 years |

Frequently asked questions
Is OneMiners hosting more profitable than home mining?
In almost all cases yes, because hosted power (~$0.0364/kWh) is far cheaper than typical home rates and uptime is higher.
How big is the difference?
At the same revenue, hosted can net ~$690/month vs ~$348 on a $0.12 home rate — and it compounds over years.
What about uptime?
Home rigs run best-effort; hosting carries a 95%+ SLA with compensation, protecting output.
Do I lose control by hosting?
No — you own the machine, keep 100% of BTC, and monitor it live via app.
