Profitability Comparison
iBeLink BM-N1
iBeLink BM-S1 Max
Based on BTC price of $76,908 and current network difficulty as of May 18, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Our scoring model gives the nod to the iBeLink BM-S1 Max, which leads on 2 of 4 weighted factors (efficiency, hashrate). Its biggest concrete edge: 82% more hashrate (6.6 vs 12.0 TH/s). That said, the iBeLink BM-N1 isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins power consumption and home mining score. The right pick still depends on your power cost and noise tolerance — the breakdowns above make that call concrete.
