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.
| iBeLink BM-K1 Max | Metric | iBeLink BM-S1 |
|---|---|---|
| $1,250 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $768 |
| -$6.55 | Daily net profit | -$5.40 |
| -$3,640 | Net after 1 year | -$2,739 |
| -$6,029 | Net after 2 years | -$4,709 |
| -$8,419 | Net after 3 years | -$6,680 |
| 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.
