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 SC5 Pro II |
|---|---|---|
| $768 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $630 |
| -$5.40 | Daily net profit | -$7.42 |
| -$2,739 | Net after 1 year | -$3,340 |
| -$4,709 | Net after 2 years | -$6,050 |
| -$6,680 | Net after 3 years | -$8,759 |
| 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.
