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.
| Antminer AL1 | Metric | Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro Hyd (177Th) |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $986 |
| -$7.48 | Daily net profit | -$6.09 |
| -$12,731 | Net after 1 year | -$3,208 |
| -$15,462 | Net after 2 years | -$5,430 |
| -$18,192 | Net after 3 years | -$7,653 |
| 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.
