Can you solo mine BitcoinCash with a Bitaxe Supra Hex?

Yes — a Bitaxe Supra Hex (4.19 TH/s) can solo mine BitcoinCash (BCH) via a solo pool. At BitcoinCash's 3.87 EH/s SHA-256 network that is about a 1-in-18 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 17.20 yr, for the full 3.1300 BCH (≈ 958 USD) block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model. Realistically this is a hobby/lottery play rather than an income strategy.

Hardware Tier & Ecosystem Ranking on BitcoinCash

The Bitaxe Supra Hex is categorized in the Home / Solo Lottery Tier (Compact or low-power hardware optimized for decentralized solo lottery participation rather than commercial pool revenue.). Among all 14 tracked models on BitcoinCash, it ranks #11 in electrical efficiency (44,135,368,421.05 H/W) and #10 in raw hashrate (4.19 TH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a Bitaxe Supra Hex (95 W) pulls about 2.28 kWh per day (69.4 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.16 USD per day (4.79 USD/month or 57 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 0.06 blocks, worth about $55.72 — you would burn roughly 1x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.067 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, BitcoinCash must trade at or above 315.75 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 549.13 USD at residential power (0.120 USD/kWh).

Bankroll & Variance Risk Simulator

Solo mining block discovery follows a memoryless Poisson distribution. While the average wait is 17.20 yr, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~51.53 yr), cumulative electricity burned (~2,961 USD) will exceed the block reward value (958 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

Bitaxe Supra Hex Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $300–$460 (estimated market price, median $380) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 35.6 years.

How the odds have moved

BitcoinCash's network hashrate climbed 5% since 2026-09-08, from 3.68 EH/s to 3.87 EH/s — so the same rig is now 5% less likely to find a block.

Where to point a Bitaxe Supra Hex at BitcoinCash

Solo mining still runs through a solo pool: it handles the block template and pays the full reward to whoever finds the block. BackPoW tracks 67 solo pools for BitcoinCash with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see BitcoinCash solo mining pools:

How the odds are calculated

Each hash is an independent attempt, so block discovery is memoryless and follows an exponential distribution. The average time to a block is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time. The chance of hitting at least one block within a period t is then given by the Poisson relation P = 1 − e^(−t/T) — the realistic probability, not a misleading linear one. For this pair: daily chance 0.0159%, yearly chance 5.65%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bitaxe Supra Hex on BitcoinCash

Can you solo mine BitcoinCash with a Bitaxe Supra Hex?

Yes — a Bitaxe Supra Hex (4.19 TH/s) can solo mine BitcoinCash (BCH) via a solo pool. At BitcoinCash's 3.87 EH/s SHA-256 network that is about a 1-in-18 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 17.20 yr, for the full 3.1300 BCH (≈ 958 USD) block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is SHA-256 ASIC-resistant, and where does the Bitaxe Supra Hex stand?

SHA-256 is an ASIC-dominated algorithm. The Bitaxe Supra Hex delivers 4.19 TH/s (#10 of 14 models on BitcoinCash). It belongs to the Home / Solo Lottery Tier, built for compact, decentralized solo attempts rather than commercial pool income.

What is the operating power cost and breakeven electricity rate for a Bitaxe Supra Hex on BitcoinCash?

At 95 W, operating a Bitaxe Supra Hex consumes 2.28 kWh/day (69.4 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.16 USD/day (4.79 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.067 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Bitaxe Supra Hex encounters a severe dry spell on BitcoinCash?

Block discovery is an independent Poisson process with no memory. In a 1-in-20 bad luck drought (5% worst luck), finding a block can stretch up to 51.53 yr, accumulating roughly 2,961 USD in power costs.
