++ What works
- Outright hardware ownership with resale or physical-return path after year one
- Transparent published price, $/kWh and 15% output-based fee; no hidden fees
- Mined BTC goes straight to the user's own wallet (never custodied)
- Public per-site status page and published service agreements
- Real independent press coverage and partnerships (OCEAN, Soluna, Braiins)
-- What to watch
- No independent hashrate audit
- Sites can fill up (Norway, South Dakota full) or go down (Norway/PY Air down on check date)
- Mining economics still depend on difficulty and BTC price
- US KYC required
