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.
| Innosilicon A10 ETHMaster (500Mh) | Metric | Innosilicon T2 Terminator |
|---|---|---|
| $2,150 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $850 |
| -$1.80 | Daily net profit | -$3.14 |
| -$2,807 | Net after 1 year | -$1,997 |
| -$3,464 | Net after 2 years | -$3,144 |
| -$4,121 | Net after 3 years | -$4,291 |
| 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.
