GoMining 1 TH: ROI & Break-Even

Exactly what a 1 TH GoMining setup costs, earns, and takes to pay back — counting the GMT you must lock for the discount and the staking it earns, not just the hashrate.

on total capital

Two things get bought here, and most calculators only count the first. You mint 1 TH for about $22, and to hold the maximum 20% fee discount you must lock roughly $8 of GMT (360 days of fee coverage) — $30 of capital committed in total. On the income side, the hashrate nets about $0/month after fees and the 2% conversion, and the locked GMT earns roughly $0/month staking at 23.1% APR — about $0 combined. On total capital, that is a long payback at a flat price, so the case rests largely on Bitcoin appreciating from here.

The flat-price break-even is the pessimistic case. Bitcoin has never held one price across a halving cycle. Holding it flat, this setup breaks even in about 8.3 years. If Bitcoin instead follows published analyst forecasts, break-even shortens to around 2.2 years Forecast path: Standard Chartered ($500k by 2028), Bernstein ($1M by 2033), interpolated from today's price, with mining rewards still eroded by halvings and rising difficulty. A scenario, not a promise — Bitcoin could also fall.

Or reinvest instead of cashing out. Break-even assumes you pocket the rewards. Feed them back in weekly — buying 12 W hashrate and topping up GMT to hold the 20% discount, the way the optimizer allocates capital — and the farm compounds. On the analyst-forecast price path it grows to ~4.9 TH earning ~$8/mo in 3 years Floor case: at a flat Bitcoin price it holds ~1.5 TH earning ~$0/month — rising difficulty caps per-TH income, so growth mostly offsets decay. Compounding at 23.1% GMT staking plus reinvested mining. A growth path, not a promise.

Why the locked GMT is not a normal cost

Unlike the hashrate, the $8 in GMT isn't spent — you still own the tokens and can unlock them later, so it's capital tied up rather than money gone (with GMT price risk while it's locked). It also pulls double duty: it cuts your fee by 20% and earns 23.1% staking. Without any discount, 1 TH nets only about $0/month and ties up no GMT — but you leave the fee saving and the staking on the table. That trade is the main lever you control.

daily net = mining net + GMT staking = (sats/TH/day × 1 TH × BTC − fee × (1 − discount)) × 0.98 + locked GMT × APR ÷ 365 total capital = hashrate + GMT locked for the discount

What the projection assumes

Break-even holds Bitcoin and GMT flat (BTC at $61,856), erodes mining rewards over time through halvings and rising network difficulty, and keeps staking income steady. If Bitcoin appreciates, payback comes sooner; if difficulty spikes, GMT falls, or the staking rate drops, later. Run your exact setup in the calculator for a projection you can adjust.

Frequently asked questions

How much capital do you really need for 1 TH on GoMining?

About $30 in total: roughly $22 for 1 TH at the 12 W/TH new-miner price (~$21.99/TH), plus about $8 of GMT locked to hold the maximum 20% fee discount. The GMT is retained, not spent. With promo code RINGO5 you get 5% extra hashrate for the same spend.

How much does 1 TH earn per month?

At today's Bitcoin price of $61,856 and current difficulty, 1 TH nets about $0 per month from mining after fees and the 2% conversion (with the 20% GMT discount), plus roughly $0 from staking the locked GMT at 23.1% APR — about $0 combined. Without the discount, mining alone is closer to $0.

What is the break-even for 1 TH?

Counting both the hashrate and the GMT locked for the discount as capital (about $30), and both mining and staking as income, break-even is about 8.3 years at a flat Bitcoin and GMT price. Bitcoin appreciation shortens it; a falling price or faster difficulty growth extends it.
