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.

Bitmain Antminer S3 Metric Innosilicon T3+ 57T
Upfront cost (MSRP) $550
-$0.86 Daily net profit -$5.85
-$314 Net after 1 year -$2,684
-$629 Net after 2 years -$4,817
-$943 Net after 3 years -$6,951
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.
