Electricity expenses are a significant factor in mining profitability. Higher electricity rates can reduce or even eliminate profits, which is why assessing local energy costs is crucial when determining if mining is viable.
With higher electricity costs, investing in a highly efficient miner is even more important.

The lifespan of mining hardware depends on factors such as usage intensity, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dust).
Proper maintenance and ideal operating conditions can extend hardware longevity.
