Profitability Comparison
iBeLink BM-K1 Max
iBeLink BM-S1 Max
Based on BTC price of $76,908 and current network difficulty as of May 18, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the iBeLink BM-K1 Max edges it: 3 of 4 factors go its way (efficiency, hashrate, price-performance). Where it pulls away hardest is 167% more hashrate (32.0 vs 12.0 TH/s). That said, the iBeLink BM-S1 Max isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins power consumption. Review the detailed specs and profitability calculations above to determine which miner best fits your specific setup.
Spec Deltas
Stripped to the numbers, this is how far apart the iBeLink BM-K1 Max and iBeLink BM-S1 Max sit on each measurable spec:
- iBeLink BM-K1 Max 167% more hashrate (32.0 vs 12.0 TH/s)
- iBeLink BM-S1 Max 2% better power draw (3,200 vs 3,150 W)
- iBeLink BM-K1 Max 62% better efficiency (100 vs 263 J/TH)
- iBeLink BM-S1 Max 26% better weight (12,200 vs 9,000 kg)
- iBeLink BM-K1 Max 2% more heat output (10,918 vs 10,748 BTU/hr)
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.
| iBeLink BM-K1 Max | Metric | iBeLink BM-S1 Max |
|---|---|---|
| $1,250 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $899 |
| -$6.55 | Daily net profit | -$7.14 |
| -$3,640 | Net after 1 year | -$3,503 |
| -$6,030 | Net after 2 years | -$6,108 |
| -$8,419 | Net after 3 years | -$8,712 |
| 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.
