Cost & ROI Over Time
Hardware cost is only half the story — here is how each miner's upfront price plays out against cumulative profit at a $0.10/kWh rate.
| Goldshell HS-BOX | Metric | Goldshell HS1-PLUS |
|---|---|---|
| $99 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $900 |
| -$0.54 | Daily net profit | -$0.27 |
| -$297 | Net after 1 year | -$999 |
| -$496 | Net after 2 years | -$1,099 |
| -$694 | Net after 3 years | -$1,198 |
| 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.
