Cons	Standard unbundled FPPS pool fee of 2.5% is above market discount averages Grid management and retail power services are restricted to ERCOT and SPP regions Derivatives and fixed contracts involve counterparty credit exposure Upfront payout agreements require strict minimum uptime and delivery commitments	Subject to block variance since rewards only pay out when blocks are found Standard 2% pool fee is higher than many custodial competitors Minimum on-chain payout threshold requires 0.01048576 BTC for active miners DATUM block construction requires running and maintaining a personal Bitcoin node
