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-S3+ | Metric | Goldshell HS3 |
|---|---|---|
| $3,299 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,100 |
| -$7.27 | Daily net profit | -$4.73 |
| -$5,954 | Net after 1 year | -$2,826 |
| -$8,609 | Net after 2 years | -$4,552 |
| -$11,264 | 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.
