Profitability Comparison
Goldshell AE-BOX Pro 44Mh
Goldshell HS1-PLUS
Based on BTC price of $76,908 and current network difficulty as of May 18, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the Goldshell HS1-PLUS edges it: 4 of 6 factors go its way (efficiency, hashrate, power consumption, price-performance). Where it pulls away hardest is 100% better efficiency (10,454,545 vs 1,095 J/TH). That said, the Goldshell AE-BOX Pro 44Mh isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins home mining score and noise level. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.
