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.
| Antminer T17+ | Metric | Avalon A1466 |
|---|---|---|
| — | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $4,200 |
| -$5.27 | Daily net profit | -$2.11 |
| -$1,925 | Net after 1 year | -$4,971 |
| -$3,850 | Net after 2 years | -$5,742 |
| -$5,775 | Net after 3 years | -$6,513 |
| — | 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.
