Profitability Comparison
iPollo G1
iPollo V2H
Based on BTC price of $78,165 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Weighing six performance factors, the iPollo G1 comes out ahead — it takes 3 of 6 (efficiency, hashrate, price-performance). The standout gap is 959% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s) in the iPollo G1's favour. That said, the iPollo V2H isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins power consumption and home mining score and noise level. Cross-check the spec deltas and ROI table above against your own electricity rate before deciding.
Spec Deltas
Stripped to the numbers, this is how far apart the iPollo G1 and iPollo V2H sit on each measurable spec:
- iPollo G1 959% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s)
- iPollo V2H 83% better power draw (2,800 vs 475 W)
- iPollo G1 44% better efficiency (77,778 vs 139,706 J/TH)

- iPollo G1 489% more heat output (9,554 vs 1,621 BTU/hr)
- iPollo V2H 150% more home mining score (22.0 vs 55.0)
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.
| iPollo G1 | Metric | iPollo V2H |
|---|---|---|
| $1,599 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,850 |
| -$6.72 | Daily net profit | -$1.14 |
| -$4,051 | Net after 1 year | -$2,266 |
| -$6,504 | Net after 2 years | -$2,682 |
| -$8,956 | Net after 3 years | -$3,098 |
| 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.
