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 LT5 Pro | Metric | FusionSilicon X6 Miner |
|---|---|---|
| $800 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | — |
| -$7.44 | Daily net profit | -$2.59 |
| -$3,516 | Net after 1 year | -$945 |
| -$6,231 | Net after 2 years | -$1,890 |
| -$8,947 | Net after 3 years | -$2,836 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | — |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
