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.
| Iceriver ALEO AE3 (2Gh/s) | Metric | IceRiver KS0 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| $5,390 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $199 |
| -$8.59 | Daily net profit | -$0.23 |
| -$8,526 | Net after 1 year | -$284 |
| -$11,662 | Net after 2 years | -$369 |
| -$14,798 | Net after 3 years | -$454 |
| 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.
