Entry Tier (Budget)

The entry tier is where you start when power is cheap, capital is tight, or you're testing a new site before scaling. Efficiency runs 25+ J/TH, hashrate is lower per unit, but the price per machine drops enough that the unit economics can still work hard.

This is older silicon: Antminer S19 Pro, S19 Pro+ Hyd, T21, T19, and MicroBT M50 series, that's been proven at scale for years. The firmware is mature, the failure rates are well-characterized, and the community knowledge is deep. For a first-time miner or a low-power-cost site, the entry tier is often the most rational starting point.

When entry-tier hardware is the right call

• Your power cost is below $0.04/kWh, efficiency matters less, capital efficiency matters more
• You're testing a site or learning operations before committing to enterprise-tier units
• You're running stranded gas, flare gas, or off-grid renewable, power is effectively free, the goal is hashrate-per-dollar
• You want a backup fleet for redundancy alongside newer flagship hardware
