Profitability Comparison
iBeLink BM-S1
Goldshell HS3-SE
Based on BTC price of $76,893 and current network difficulty as of May 18, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Our scoring model gives the nod to the iBeLink BM-S1, which leads on 3 of 5 weighted factors (efficiency, hashrate, price-performance). Where it pulls away hardest is 631% more hashrate (6.8 vs 0.9 TH/s). That said, the Goldshell HS3-SE 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.
Spec Deltas
Stripped to the numbers, this is how far apart the iBeLink BM-S1 and Goldshell HS3-SE sit on each measurable spec:
- iBeLink BM-S1 631% more hashrate (6.8 vs 0.9 TH/s)
- Goldshell HS3-SE 60% better power draw (2,350 vs 930 W)
- iBeLink BM-S1 65% better efficiency (346 vs 1,000 J/TH)
- Goldshell HS3-SE 19% better weight (9,000 vs 7,300 kg)
- iBeLink BM-S1 153% more heat output (8,018 vs 3,173 BTU/hr)
- Goldshell HS3-SE 19% more home mining score (26.0 vs 31.0)
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-S1 | Metric | Goldshell HS3-SE |
|---|---|---|
| $768 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,700 |
| -$5.40 | Daily net profit | -$2.20 |
| -$2,739 | Net after 1 year | -$2,503 |
| -$4,710 | Net after 2 years | -$3,305 |
| -$6,680 | 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.
