Cost & ROI Over Time
Sticker price versus what the miner actually earns back: the table below projects cumulative net profit at a $0.10/kWh electricity rate.
| Innosilicon A10 Pro ETH (500Mh) | Metric | iPollo X1 |
|---|---|---|
| $469 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $444 |
| -$2.30 | Daily net profit | -$0.58 |
| -$1,310 | Net after 1 year | -$654 |
| -$2,151 | Net after 2 years | -$864 |
| -$2,992 | 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.
