Profitability Comparison
iPollo V1
iPollo X1
Based on BTC price of $78,217 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Our scoring model gives the nod to the iPollo X1, which leads on 3 of 5 weighted factors (efficiency, power consumption, home mining score). Where it pulls away hardest is 92% better power draw (3,100 vs 240 W). That said, the iPollo V1 isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins hashrate and price-performance. Review the detailed specs and profitability calculations above to determine which miner best fits your specific setup.
Spec Deltas
The iPollo V1 and iPollo X1 diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":
- iPollo V1 1100% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s)
- iPollo X1 92% better power draw (3,100 vs 240 W)
- iPollo X1 7% better efficiency (861,111 vs 800,000 J/TH)
- iPollo X1 100% better weight (13,000.0 vs 1.5 kg)
- iPollo V1 1192% more heat output (10,577 vs 819 BTU/hr)
- iPollo X1 41% more home mining score (22.0 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.
| iPollo V1 | Metric | iPollo X1 |
|---|---|---|
| $1,699 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $444 |
| -$7.44 | Daily net profit | -$0.58 |
| -$4,415 | Net after 1 year | -$654 |
| -$7,130 | Net after 2 years | -$864 |
| -$9,846 | Net after 3 years | -$1,075 |
| 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.
