Risk notice
Buying a miner and running it in hosting carries real risks.
«Andes SolarHash does not present this service as fixed income, an assured return, a guaranteed investment or a promise of profitability.»
Andes SolarHash, “Sale of ASIC miners + hosting in the United Arab Emirates”. Translated from the Spanish original.
Network risks
- Mining difficulty rises as more hashrate joins the network, and each miner's output falls with it.
- The halving cuts the block subsidy in half roughly every four years. The next one is expected around April 2028.
- The price of Bitcoin is volatile. It does not change how many BTC the miner produces, but it does change what they are worth in USD or CLP.
Equipment risks
- ASIC miners wear out and fail. Major repairs and spare parts may be charged to the buyer.
- Miners lose resale value as more efficient models are released.
- Owning the machine does not imply a minimum output, future profitability or an assured resale value.
Operating risks
- The miner may be stopped by maintenance, temperature, power cuts or loss of connectivity.
- The operation depends on outside providers: the farm, the pool, logistics.
- Energy and hosting rates, and pool fees, may change.
- Bringing a machine back from the UAE has costs and logistical risks.
Legal and tax risks
- Regulation of mining and digital assets may change in Chile, in the UAE and in the buyer's country.
- The buyer is responsible for their own tax obligations on the purchase, receipt and sale of BTC.
Before buying, model the unfavourable scenario, not just today's. The calculator includes one: difficulty +20% and Bitcoin −30%.
