The arrangement lowers the upfront hardware purchase but does not remove Bitcoin mining&#8216;s ongoing costs or profitability risk.<\/p>\n<p>Buying into industrial Bitcoin mining usually means dealing with noisy equipment, electricity contracts and cooling infrastructure. A new offering built around Block&#8217;s Proto hardware takes a different approach: purchase a single hashboard and leave the hosting to someone else.<\/p>\n<p>Sazmining lists Proto immersion hashboards configured for approximately 204 terahashes per second, with efficiency of roughly 15 joules per terahash. Three boards make up a full Proto Immersion Module, but customers can start with one.<\/p>\n<p>The advertised hardware price is $4,187. Its financing option requires $1,397 upfront followed by 18 monthly payments of $155, at a stated 0% interest rate. A separate hosting and maintenance fee of $153 a month applies, covering power at the quoted service rate and operational support.<\/p>\n<p>Those recurring charges are central to the economics. A lower entry price does not mean free mining, and the Bitcoin received depends on network difficulty, rewards, uptime, fees and the market price of BTC. A hashboard can be technically efficient and still produce disappointing returns for its owner.<\/p>\n<p>For Block, the offer broadens the potential audience for its Proto equipment. For Sazmining, it packages industrial hardware into a managed service that customers can purchase in smaller units.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal is convenience and modularity. The question for buyers is whether the projected mining revenue comfortably covers all the costs that continue after the hardware purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR: Sazmining is offering individual Proto immersion hashboards at $4,187 each, with financing and managed hosting.
