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.
| Goldshell AE-BOX Pro 44Mh | Metric | Goldshell AL BOX III |
|---|---|---|
| $120 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $139 |
| -$1.10 | Daily net profit | -$1.40 |
| -$523 | Net after 1 year | -$648 |
| -$926 | Net after 2 years | -$1,157 |
| -$1,329 | Net after 3 years | -$1,667 |
| 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.
