Profitability Comparison
iPollo V1
iPollo V2
Based on BTC price of $78,252 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Our scoring model gives the nod to the iPollo V2, which leads on 5 of 6 weighted factors (efficacité, hashrate, consommation électrique, score de minage domestique, niveau sonore). Its biggest concrete edge: 83% better efficacité (861,111 vs 150,000 J/TH). That said, the iPollo V1 isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins rapport qualité-prix. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.
Spec Deltas
The iPollo V1 and iPollo V2 diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":
- iPollo V2 178% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s)
- iPollo V2 52% better power draw (3,100 vs 1,500 W)
- iPollo V2 83% better efficacité (861,111 vs 150,000 J/TH)
- iPollo V2 100% better weight (13,000.0 vs 16.5 kg)
- iPollo V1 107% more heat output (10,577 vs 5,118 BTU/hr)
- iPollo V2 118% more score de minage domestique (22.0 vs 48.0)
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 V1 | Metric | iPollo V2 |
|---|---|---|
| $1,699 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $5,140 |
| -$7.44 | Daily net profit | -$3.60 |
| -$4,415 | Net after 1 year | -$6,454 |
| -$7,130 | Net after 2 years | -$7,768 |
| -$9,846 | Net after 3 years | -$9,082 |
| 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.
