Cost & ROI Over Time
A miner pays for itself in profit, not specs. These projections track upfront cost against one, two and three years of net earnings at $0.10/kWh.
| Innosilicon A8C CryptoMaster | Metric | Baikal BK-N |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $500 |
| -$0.42 | Daily net profit | -$0.14 |
| -$1,153 | Net after 1 year | -$553 |
| -$1,307 | Net after 2 years | -$605 |
| -$1,460 | Net after 3 years | -$658 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
