Profitability Comparison
iBeLink BM-S1 Max
Goldshell HS3-SE
Based on BTC price of $76,982 and current network difficulty as of May 18, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the iBeLink BM-S1 Max edges it: 3 of 5 factors go its way (efficiency, hashrate, price-performance). The standout gap is 1190% more hashrate (12.0 vs 0.9 TH/s) in the iBeLink BM-S1 Max's favour. The Goldshell HS3-SE holds the edge in 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.

Cost & ROI Over Time
Sticker price versus what the miner actually earns back: the table below projects cumulative net profit at a $0.10/kWh electricity rate.
| iBeLink BM-S1 Max | Metric | Goldshell HS3-SE |
|---|---|---|
| $899 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,700 |
| -$7.13 | Daily net profit | -$2.20 |
| -$3,503 | Net after 1 year | -$2,503 |
| -$6,107 | Net after 2 years | -$3,305 |
| -$8,712 | Net after 3 years | -$4,108 |
| 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.
