- Elphapex DG Home 1 164% more home mining score (58.0 vs 22.0)
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.
| Elphapex DG Home 1 | Metric | Goldshell LT5 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $800 |
| -$1.51 | Daily net profit | -$7.44 |
| -$3,052 | Net after 1 year | -$3,516 |
| -$3,604 | Net after 2 years | -$6,231 |
| -$4,156 | Net after 3 years | -$8,947 |
| 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.
