Don't wire $20,000 into a mining deal you haven't stress-tested.
Most people buy miners on a spreadsheet the seller handed them. The Mining Build Plan replaces that with an independent, numbers-first analysis of your exact setup — so you know your breakeven, your risk, and whether the deal survives the next difficulty jump before you commit a dollar.

The $97 Mining Deal Audit is the lighter entry option: profitability model, risk assessment, and a plain-English verdict. Delivered within 48 hours.
Done-With-You Mining Setup is the four-week version: hardware, hosting, contract review, deployment, and first-payout verification — on calls, together. $997.
What we actually dig into
A profitability model built on live BTC price and network difficulty — not the seller's optimistic spreadsheet. Breakeven, ROI, and payback period for your exact miner and power cost.
What happens when difficulty climbs and BTC dips. We stress-test the deal across scenarios so you know the floor, not just the pitch.
Hardware pick for your budget, deployment checklist, financing and tax angles, and a live call — everything you need to go from decision to running machines.
What we check before calling a deal safe
Every review and audit runs the same independent checklist — measured against live network data, not seller math.
- Hosting rate (all-in $/kWh or flat)
- Setup fee & deposit
- Uptime terms & SLA
- Exit clause & contract length
- Hardware retrieval rights
- Power source
- BTC breakeven price
- Difficulty-growth stress test
- Pool fees & firmware freedom
- Tax angle (Section 179)
I run my own mining operation and built Lightning Mines to give retail miners a neutral source of truth — so you can avoid bad hosting contracts, bad hardware math, and seller-driven ROI claims. Every number here is computed from live network data, not a spreadsheet someone is trying to sell you.

What your audit report looks like
Every audit follows the same structure. Here is an anonymized excerpt so you know exactly what lands in your inbox — no vague “it depends,” just numbers and a decision.
- ⚑Hosting rate quoted per-kWh but contract lets provider pass through demand charges — uncapped.
- ⚑No written exit clause; hardware retrieval terms undefined.
- ⚑“Guaranteed” uptime with no SLA credit mechanism behind it.
Counter at a flat $225/mo all-in, get the demand-charge pass-through struck, and add a 30-day exit clause. With those three changes the same hardware clears breakeven near $68k and pays back in ~19 months at the base-case BTC price.
Illustrative sample. Your report uses your real hardware, hosting quote, and live BTC price / network difficulty at the time of analysis.
Every audit is completed personally — not an AI-generated report. I review your actual contract terms, hardware specs, and hosting offer against current live network data, using the same methodology behind the free calculator. Numbers first, no hype, and I'll tell you when the math says don't buy.
100% Money-Back Guarantee. If your audit doesn't give you at least one concrete, actionable insight about your mining deal, we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
