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.
| Baikal BK-D | Metric | Baikal Quadruple Mini Miner |
|---|---|---|
| — | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,000 |
| -$2.63 | Daily net profit | -$0.46 |
| -$959 | Net after 1 year | -$1,168 |
| -$1,919 | Net after 2 years | -$1,336 |
| -$2,878 | Net after 3 years | -$1,505 |
| — | 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.
