Profitability Comparison
iPollo V2
iPollo X1
Based on BTC price of $78,165 and current network difficulty as of May 16, 2026. Actual results vary.
Verdict
Run the numbers across every spec and the iPollo V2 edges it: 5 of 6 factors go its way (efficiency, hashrate, home mining score, noise level, price-performance). The standout gap is 3233% more hashrate (0.0 vs 0.0 TH/s) in the iPollo V2's favour. That said, the iPollo X1 isn't beaten everywhere — it still wins power consumption. Cross-check the spec deltas and ROI table above against your own electricity rate before deciding.
Spec Deltas
The iPollo V2 and iPollo X1 diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":

- iPollo V2 55% more home mining score (48.0 vs 31.0)
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.
| iPollo V2 | Metric | iPollo X1 |
|---|---|---|
| $5,140 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $444 |
| -$3.60 | Daily net profit | -$0.58 |
| -$6,454 | Net after 1 year | -$654 |
| -$7,768 | Net after 2 years | -$864 |
| -$9,082 | 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.
