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.
| iPollo B1L | Metric | iPollo V2 |
|---|---|---|
| $430 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $5,140 |
| -$5.11 | Daily net profit | -$3.60 |
| -$2,297 | Net after 1 year | -$6,454 |
| -$4,163 | Net after 2 years | -$7,768 |
| -$6,030 | Net after 3 years | -$9,082 |
| 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.
