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.
| Goldshell HS1-PLUS | Metric | Goldshell HS6 SE |
|---|---|---|
| $900 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,060 |
| -$0.27 | Daily net profit | -$8.03 |
| -$999 | Net after 1 year | -$3,991 |
| -$1,099 | Net after 2 years | -$6,921 |
| -$1,198 | Net after 3 years | -$9,852 |
| 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.
