Cost & ROI Over Time
Hardware cost is only half the story — here is how each miner's upfront price plays out against cumulative profit at a $0.10/kWh rate.
| Goldshell AE-BOX Pro 44Mh | Metric | Goldshell Mini-DOGE |
|---|---|---|
| $120 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $298 |
| -$1.10 | Daily net profit | -$0.56 |
| -$523 | Net after 1 year | -$502 |
| -$926 | Net after 2 years | -$706 |
| -$1,329 | Net after 3 years | -$910 |
| 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.
