- Jasminer X4-C 1U 61% better power draw (620 vs 240 W)
- Jasminer X16-Q 40% better efficiency (317,949 vs 533,333 J/TH)
- Jasminer X16-Q 158% more heat output (2,115 vs 819 BTU/hr)
- Jasminer X16-Q 110% more home mining score (65.0 vs 31.0)
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.
| Jasminer X16-Q | Metric | Jasminer X4-C 1U |
|---|---|---|
| $3,500 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $658 |
| -$1.49 | Daily net profit | -$0.58 |
| -$4,043 | Net after 1 year | -$868 |
| -$4,586 | Net after 2 years | -$1,078 |
| -$5,129 | Net after 3 years | -$1,289 |
| 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.
