How GoMining Maintenance Costs Work

Maintenance reduces economic mining income whether paid from BTC rewards or a GOM balance. Separate electricity, service and eligible discounts, then count the currency actually spent.

Fictional example, 14 October 2026: 100 TH, 20 W/TH, electricity USD 0.05/kWh, service USD 1.60/day, an assumed eligible 10% discount, gross 100 sats/TH/day, BTC USD 100,000 and GOM USD 0.40. Use 30 unchanged days. These are teaching inputs, not current quotes or your account.

100 TH at 20 W/TH uses 2,000 W, or 2 kW. Over 24 hours that is 48 kWh, costing USD 2.40/day. At 15 W/TH it costs USD 1.80/day: USD 0.60 less before discounts. GoMining’s public 8 TH example independently gives USD 0.192 and USD 0.144/day at those efficiencies. Its rate wording says kW; the dimensional calculation needs USD/kWh.

100 × 20 ÷ 1,000 × 24 × 0.05 = 2.40 USD 100 × 15 ÷ 1,000 × 24 × 0.05 = 1.80 USD

Electricity USD 2.40 plus service USD 1.60 is USD 4.00/day. Apply the fictional 10% discount to both only if eligibility confirms that base: USD 3.60/day. Gross 0.00010000 BTC is USD 10.00/day; economic surplus is USD 6.40/day, or 0.00192000 BTC over 30 days if fees come from BTC. This excludes purchase cost, taxes and other fees.

(2.40 + 1.60) × (1 − 0.10) = 3.60 USD (0.00010000 − 3.60 ÷ 100,000) × 30 = 0.00192000 BTC

Paying USD 3.60/day at GOM USD 0.40 spends 9 GOM/day, or 270 GOM in 30 days. The BTC payout may retain the full gross 0.00300000 BTC, but the separate USD 108 token expense still counts. It is not a second profit stream or free maintenance.

The provider describes token discounts up to 20%, depending on coverage and eligible payment settings; insufficient spendable tokens cause BTC fallback without that token discount. Locked holdings are not spendable reserves. A fictional 900 liquid GOM covers 100 days at 9/day; at USD 0.20/GOM the same fees use 18/day and cover 50 days. Eligibility can change; do not infer it from this simplified example.

Base: USD 3.60 fees and USD 6.40 surplus/day. No eligible discount: USD 4.00 fees and USD 6.00 surplus. Electricity USD 0.07/kWh with 10% discount: USD 4.464 fees and USD 5.536 surplus. At 15 W/TH with unchanged service/discount: USD 3.06 fees and USD 6.94 surplus. With BTC USD 30,000, base gross is USD 3.00: USD 0.60/day remains unfunded, or USD 18 over 30 days. Zero retained BTC does not erase that gap.
