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 A10 ETHMaster (500Mh) | Metric | Innosilicon S11 SiaMaster |
|---|---|---|
| $2,150 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $2,000 |
| -$1.80 | Daily net profit | -$3.09 |
| -$2,807 | Net after 1 year | -$3,126 |
| -$3,464 | Net after 2 years | -$4,252 |
| -$4,121 | Net after 3 years | -$5,378 |
| 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.
