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.
| Bitmain Antminer L3++ (596Mh) | Metric | Elphapex DG 1+ |
|---|---|---|
| $1,190 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,452 |
| -$2.52 | Daily net profit | -$9.41 |
| -$2,110 | Net after 1 year | -$4,885 |
| -$3,030 | Net after 2 years | -$8,319 |
| -$3,949 | Net after 3 years | -$11,753 |
| 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.
