    What's the difference?

    In plain words, from the specs and your setup.

      Your setup

      Live rates · every result on this page is an estimate.

      €0.25/kWh

      The country buttons set a typical household price; change it to your own.

      Currency

      €1 = $1.08 = £0.86. Mining pays in USD, so we convert USD → EUR first.

      ±50 % around today's live price.

      Pool fee
      2 %

      Most pools keep 1–3 % of what you mine.

      24 h/day

      Fewer hours = less power and less income.

      What each miner earns at your price

      Net result after the pool fee and electricity, at today's network difficulty. Check the break-even price first: below it, the miner pays for its own power.

      When does it pay for itself?

      Cumulative result over 24 months. Each line starts at minus the price and marks the month it crosses zero.

      2 %/month

        Merged mining: Litecoin + Dogecoin

        Scrypt pools pay LTC and DOGE together for the same work. Payouts are steady, so there are no lottery odds here.

        Will it fit your home?

        Socket, circuit, noise, heat, network and size, each read straight from the specs.

        Circuit = one 16 A × 230 V household circuit (3,680 W); keep continuous loads under 80 %. Heat: BTU/h = W × 3.412; area assumes about 70 W of winter heat loss per m² (typical EU home, varies with insulation).

        How loud is it?

        Each miner on a decibel ruler with everyday sounds. +10 dB sounds about twice as loud.

          True-to-scale sizes

          Drawn from the listed dimensions on a centimetre grid.

            Value for money

            Price against hashrate for the miners on our compare pages (log scales). Bubble size = power draw. Up and to the left = more hashrate per euro.

              Elphapex DG2 Mini
