Profitability Comparison
iBeLink BM-S1
Goldshell HS3
Based on BTC price of $76,989 and current network difficulty as of May 18, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the iBeLink BM-S1 edges it: 3 of 5 factors go its way (efficiency, hashrate, price-performance). Its biggest concrete edge: 240% more hashrate (6.8 vs 2.0 TH/s). That said, the Goldshell HS3 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
Here is every spec where the iBeLink BM-S1 and Goldshell HS3 actually differ, with the gap quantified:
- iBeLink BM-S1 240% more hashrate (6.8 vs 2.0 TH/s)
- Goldshell HS3 15% better power draw (2,350 vs 2,000 W)
- iBeLink BM-S1 65% better efficiency (346 vs 1,000 J/TH)

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-S1 | Metric | Goldshell HS3 |
|---|---|---|
| $768 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,100 |
| -$5.40 | Daily net profit | -$4.73 |
| -$2,739 | Net after 1 year | -$2,826 |
| -$4,709 | Net after 2 years | -$4,552 |
| -$6,680 | Net after 3 years | -$6,278 |
| 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.
