Cost & ROI Over Time
Hardware cost is only half the story — here is how each miner's upfront price plays out against cumulative profit at a $0.10/kWh rate.
| Antminer L9 | Metric | Elphapex DG1+ |
|---|---|---|
| $6,500 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $8,500 |
| -$8.06 | Daily net profit | -$9.41 |
| -$9,443 | Net after 1 year | -$11,934 |
| -$12,386 | Net after 2 years | -$15,368 |
| -$15,330 | Net after 3 years | -$18,801 |
| 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.
