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 U2L9H | Metric | Elphapex DG Home 1 |
|---|---|---|
| $3,998 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $510 |
| -$13.61 | Daily net profit | -$1.49 |
| -$8,965 | Net after 1 year | -$1,053 |
| -$13,931 | Net after 2 years | -$1,596 |
| -$18,898 | Net after 3 years | -$2,140 |
| 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.
