# Mining Energy Intensity Before and After Comparison

> Mining Energy Intensity Before and After Comparison is a paid API for AI agents from market.datapackvibe.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-18).

Computes and compares mining energy intensity (kWh per BTC) for two scenarios — before and after — given user-supplied net BTC mined and energy consumed.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-energy-intensity-before-and-after-comparison-a609918a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compare my mining energy intensity before and after an upgrade — before I was mining 0.01 BTC using 1000 kWh, and after the upgrade I'm mining 0.011 BTC using 1100 kWh. Which scenario is more energy-efficient per BTC?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, cost-effective ($0.01 USDC) side-by-side energy intensity comparison for two discrete mining scenarios using only user-supplied assumptions. It is ideal for evaluating efficiency changes from hardware upgrades, cooling improvements, or pool switches — without needing live BTC prices or hashrate data. Prefer this over general computation tools when the specific kWh-per-BTC metric and a formatted before/after report are the desired output.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (net_btc or energy_kwh in either before or after object) returns a validation error
- Zero or negative values for net_btc or energy_kwh are rejected (exclusiveMinimum: 0)
- Extremely large values at the edge of the schema maximum may produce impractical but valid results
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents report generation

## How this service works

Mining energy intensity — Before and after comparison: Before and after comparison for Mining energy intensity. 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 report showing energy intensity (kWh per BTC) for both the before and after scenarios, along with a comparison of the two values — delta, percentage change, and which scenario is more efficient. No live price data or guaranteed return figures are included.
