- Goldshell AE-BOX Pro 44Mh 83% better weight (2.6 vs 15.2 kg)
- Goldshell E-AE1M 335% more heat output (1,570 vs 6,824 BTU/hr)
- Goldshell AE-BOX Pro 44Mh 23% more home mining score (69.0 vs 56.0)
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 E-AE1M |
|---|---|---|
| $120 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $630 |
| -$1.10 | Daily net profit | -$4.80 |
| -$523 | Net after 1 year | -$2,382 |
| -$926 | Net after 2 years | -$4,134 |
| -$1,329 | Net after 3 years | -$5,886 |
| 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.
