Profitability Comparison
iPollo G1
iPollo X1
Based on BTC price of $78,186 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the iPollo G1 edges it: 3 of 5 factors go its way (efficacité, hashrate, rapport qualité-prix). The standout gap is 11900% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s) in the iPollo G1's favour. The iPollo X1 claws back ground on consommation électrique and score de minage domestique. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.
Spec Deltas
The iPollo G1 and iPollo X1 diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":
- iPollo G1 11900% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s)
- iPollo X1 91% better power draw (2,800 vs 240 W)
- iPollo G1 90% better efficacité (77,778 vs 800,000 J/TH)
- iPollo X1 100% better weight (19,000.0 vs 1.5 kg)
- iPollo G1 1067% more heat output (9,554 vs 819 BTU/hr)
- iPollo X1 41% more score de minage domestique (22.0 vs 31.0)
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.
| iPollo G1 | Metric | iPollo X1 |
|---|---|---|
| $1,599 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $444 |
| -$6.72 | Daily net profit | -$0.58 |
| -$4,051 | Net after 1 year | -$654 |
| -$6,504 | Net after 2 years | -$864 |
| -$8,956 | Net after 3 years | -$1,075 |
| 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.
