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 | Goldshell KD6 |
|---|---|---|
| $1,250 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,027 |
| -$6.53 | Daily net profit | -$5.26 |
| -$3,633 | Net after 1 year | -$2,947 |
| -$6,015 | Net after 2 years | -$4,867 |
| -$8,398 | Net after 3 years | -$6,787 |
| 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.
