# Mining Energy Intensity — Target Gap Calculator

> Mining Energy Intensity — Target Gap Calculator 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).

Calculates the gap between a user-supplied target and the computed mining energy intensity (energy per BTC mined), given net BTC and energy consumption inputs.

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-target-gap-calculator-04f4cd8f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Calculate the mining energy intensity target gap for my operation: I consumed 1000 kWh and mined 0.01 BTC net — how far am I from a target energy intensity of 100?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost computation of the gap between a Bitcoin mining operation's current energy intensity (kWh/BTC) and a specific target value, using only supplied mining assumptions. Prefer this over general calculators when you want a structured report formatted for mining energy efficiency analysis and are operating within a pay-per-use, micropayment (x402) workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (net_btc or energy_kwh) returns a validation error
- Zero or negative values for net_btc or energy_kwh rejected due to exclusiveMinimum constraints
- Target value out of allowed range causes schema rejection
- Payment of 0.01 USDC not processed results in 402 response
- Extremely large or small values may produce edge-case gap results

## How this service works

Mining energy intensity — Target gap calculation: Target gap calculation 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 target gap calculation report.

## Output

A bounded target gap calculation report that includes the computed mining energy intensity (kWh per BTC) from the supplied inputs and the numerical gap between that computed value and the user-provided target. No live prices, market data, or guaranteed returns are included.
