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 | Metric | Goldshell Mini-DOGE Pro |
|---|---|---|
| $100 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $299 |
| -$0.86 | Daily net profit | -$0.53 |
| -$415 | Net after 1 year | -$492 |
| -$731 | Net after 2 years | -$684 |
| -$1,046 | Net after 3 years | -$877 |
| 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.
