Question 1

What does the USA Mining Cost Map show?

Accepted Answer

The map shows modeled Bitcoin mining cost proxies for each U.S. state, adjusted for local electricity tariffs and ASIC efficiency. Users can filter by ASIC model, pool, and tariff structure.

Question 2

How are mining costs calculated for each state?

Accepted Answer

State-level mining costs are derived from electricity pricing datasets, ASIC efficiency cohorts, mining pool payout assumptions, and standardized network difficulty modeling.

Question 3

Why do some U.S. states have much lower mining costs?

Accepted Answer

States differ significantly in industrial and commercial power pricing. Cheap-electricity regions such as Oklahoma, Texas, and parts of the Midwest tend to have lower mining costs than coastal states.

Question 4

Is the dataset publicly available?

Accepted Answer

The dataset is proprietary. Free users access limited depth; premium users unlock full historical data and more ASIC models.
