## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability mining-break-even-btc-price-before-after-comparison-00792871 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compare my mining break-even BTC price: before the upgrade I spent $500 in total costs and mined 0.01 BTC net, and after the upgrade I'll spend $550 in total costs but mine 0.011 BTC net — what does my break-even price look like in both cases?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, formula-based comparison of mining break-even BTC prices across exactly two scenarios (before and after a change), paying only $0.01 USDC per report. Ideal for evaluating the financial impact of a hardware upgrade, electricity cost change, or pool fee adjustment on mining viability without needing live price feeds or complex modeling tools.

## Known failure modes

- net_btc of zero or missing causes division-by-zero error
- total_cost_usd missing or zero returns invalid or trivial result
- values exceeding maximum bounds (1e16) rejected by schema validation
- missing required fields (total_cost_usd or net_btc) in either before or after object returns validation error
- payment of 0.01 USDC not confirmed via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Mining break-even BTC price — Before and after comparison: Before and after comparison for Mining break-even BTC price. Supplied mining assumptions only; formula and units disclosed. No live prices, mining or guaranteed return. Specialised preset in a shared 50-profile, 20-operation engine. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded before and after comparison report.

## Output

A bounded comparison report containing the calculated break-even BTC price (USD per BTC) for both the 'before' and 'after' scenarios, derived from dividing total_cost_usd by net_btc for each scenario, along with the delta between the two break-even prices. No live market prices are used; the result is purely formula-driven from the supplied inputs.
