# Mining Hardware Purchase Budget — Before & After Comparison

> Mining Hardware Purchase Budget — Before & 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 2026-10-16).

Compares two mining hardware purchase budget scenarios (before and after) by computing total fleet cost differences based on supplied unit counts, unit prices, and shipping costs.

## 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-hardware-purchase-budget-before-after-comparison-3a1e59c6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compare my mining hardware purchase budgets: before I was buying 10 units at $3,000 each with $1,000 shipping, and after I'm considering 11 units at $3,300 each with $1,100 shipping — give me a before-and-after cost breakdown.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, auditable side-by-side cost comparison of two mining hardware procurement scenarios differing in quantity, unit price, or shipping. It is ideal for quick capital expenditure impact analysis without needing live market data or mining profitability projections. Prefer it over full mining profitability calculators when the question is purely about purchase budget, not ROI or hashrate economics.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (units, unit_usd, or shipping_usd for either before or after object) returns a validation error
- Zero or negative unit count violates exclusiveMinimum constraint and will be rejected
- Extremely large values (approaching schema maximum) may produce unexpected numeric overflow in output
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in no report being returned

## How this service works

Mining hardware purchase budget — Before and after comparison: Before and after comparison for Mining hardware purchase budget. 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 before-and-after comparison report showing the total fleet purchase cost for each scenario (before and after), the numeric difference between them, using only the supplied unit counts, per-unit prices, and shipping costs as inputs. No live pricing data or return projections are included.
