Why this is structural, not a bad patch

Mining has no magic margin: it buys electricity and sells it back as bitcoin. As long as your kWh costs more than what your machine extracts from it, every day widens the gap — and the network does not help. Difficulty keeps climbing, so the same machine produces less BTC every month while drawing exactly the same watts.

A European household tariff is a retail tariff: taxes, transmission, supplier margin. A professional miner pays wholesale electricity, often a fraction of that. That difference — and nothing else — decides whether a machine is profitable. It cannot be negotiated from a domestic socket.

If you still want to mine

The route that remains: do not pay retail electricity. With a hosting provider the machine sits where power is billed at professional rates, and you advance neither the hardware, nor the room, nor the noise. On this platform the yield stays modest and variable — but it is no longer structurally negative as above.

Two real details in your favour when you open an account with a referral: +5% mining power on your first purchase (capped at 25 TH) and 1 month of VIP Platinum+, a tier that cuts maintenance fees and raises the yield on crypto you deposit. The code does not change your price.

The calculator lets you change the hashrate, the machine efficiency (W/TH) and the electricity price, with live network data. It is deliberately pessimistic: no BTC price forecast, no growth assumption. What you see above is exactly what it computes.

Nothing here is investment advice. Mining is an asset, not a guaranteed yield: difficulty rises, the BTC price can fall, hardware wears out. Only commit what you can afford to lose entirely. Some platforms are not available in every country — check before opening an account.
