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-P | Metric | Jasminer X4 3U-Z |
|---|---|---|
| $2,550 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $1,299 |
| -$4.56 | Daily net profit | -$0.82 |
| -$4,214 | Net after 1 year | -$1,597 |
| -$5,879 | Net after 2 years | -$1,895 |
| -$7,543 | Net after 3 years | -$2,192 |
| 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.
