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.
| Jasminer X16-P | Metric | Jasminer X4 |
|---|---|---|
| $2,550 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $999 |
| -$4.56 | Daily net profit | -$2.88 |
| -$4,214 | Net after 1 year | -$2,050 |
| -$5,879 | Net after 2 years | -$3,101 |
| -$7,543 | Net after 3 years | -$4,153 |
| 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.
