## What the fee is and is not

- The rate depends on the model and on the commercial agreement.
- It is charged on active hashrate, not on your wallet, not on your pool balance.
- It is visible in the dashboard. Nothing about it is hidden, and you can read it at any time on a running machine.

## Why free to test matters

Firmware claims are cheap and fleets are expensive. Take the build, run it on one machine, measure hashrate, efficiency, chip temperature and error rate against your own stock baseline, and decide from your numbers rather than from a table on a website.

## Partner terms

Mining hotels and colocation sites work through the partner program: branded firmware and a personal fee proxied to any pool. That path runs through roiasic.com.
