What is breakeven hashprice?
Breakeven hashprice is the hashprice at which a machine's revenue only just pays for its electricity. Below it the machine loses money on power alone.
How it works
In dollars per PH per day it is the machine's efficiency in J/TH, times 24, times the power price per kWh. A 20 J/TH machine at $0.06 per kWh breaks even at $28.80 per PH per day.
Why it matters
Compare it with today's hashprice to see the margin. Operators switch machines off, or tune them down, when hashprice falls below it.
