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 | Iceriver ALEO AE0 50Mh |
|---|---|---|
| $120 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $280 |
| -$1.10 | Daily net profit | -$0.24 |
| -$523 | Net after 1 year | -$368 |
| -$926 | Net after 2 years | -$455 |
| -$1,329 | Net after 3 years | -$543 |
| 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.
