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.
| Goldshell AE-BOX Pro 44Mh | Metric | Goldshell AL MAX |
|---|---|---|
| $120 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $2,370 |
| -$1.10 | Daily net profit | -$7.74 |
| -$523 | Net after 1 year | -$5,196 |
| -$926 | Net after 2 years | -$8,021 |
| -$1,329 | Net after 3 years | -$10,847 |
| 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.
