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 Pro ETH (500Mh) | Metric | Jasminer X16-Q |
|---|---|---|
| $469 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $3,500 |
| -$2.30 | Daily net profit | -$1.49 |
| -$1,310 | Net after 1 year | -$4,043 |
| -$2,151 | Net after 2 years | -$4,586 |
| -$2,992 | Net after 3 years | -$5,129 |
| 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.
