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.
| iPollo G1 | Metric | iPollo V1 |
|---|---|---|
| $1,599 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,699 |
| -$6.72 | Daily net profit | -$7.44 |
| -$4,051 | Net after 1 year | -$4,415 |
| -$6,504 | Net after 2 years | -$7,130 |
| -$8,956 | Net after 3 years | -$9,846 |
| 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.
