Hardware, Energy and Uptime
DraftStatus: Draft Version: 0.1.0 Last Updated: 2026-05-17 Owner: Axodus Mining
Purpose
Hardware, energy, and uptime are central to mining economics and must be included in estimates, reports, and user-facing disclosures where relevant.
Hardware Types
Hardware may include ASICs, GPUs, CPU or server infrastructure, validator node hardware, and monitoring devices.
Hardware Record Fields
Fields may include hardware ID, type, model, internal asset reference, algorithm or network, expected hashrate or capacity, actual hashrate or capacity, power usage, efficiency, purchase or lease cost, depreciation method if used, location reference, warranty status, maintenance status, and operational status.
Energy and Uptime Fields
Energy fields include rate, currency, billing period, power usage, expected kWh, actual kWh, cooling overhead, demand charges if applicable, backup power cost if any, verified renewable or offset claim if any, and source of estimate.
Uptime fields include monitoring period, uptime percentage, downtime minutes, downtime reason, affected hardware or node, reward impact estimate, maintenance windows, and incident reference.
Cost and Performance Rules
Expected hashrate must be separated from actual hashrate. Energy cost must include period and source. Cooling and depreciation should be included where material. Uptime assumptions must be stated. Estimates must not be presented as guarantees.
Risk Considerations
Risks include hardware degradation, energy price change, overheating, obsolete hardware, and maintenance cost.
