Solo mining odds — GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Conceal
4.19 KH/s · CryptoNightGPU · network 180.05 KH/s. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti solo mining Conceal (CCX) has about 6,023 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 1.5 hours for the full 6.0000 CCX reward.
Can you solo mine Conceal with a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti?
Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (4.19 KH/s) can solo mine Conceal (CCX) via a solo pool. At Conceal's 180.05 KH/s CryptoNightGPU network that is about 6,023 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 1.5 hours, for the full 6.0000 CCX block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model. Realistically this is genuinely worth a patient solo run.
Hardware Tier & Ecosystem Ranking on Conceal
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is categorized in the Mid-Range Workhorse Tier (Middle quartile hashrate offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.). Among all 5 tracked models on Conceal, it ranks #5 in electrical efficiency (13.97 H/W) and #3 in raw hashrate (4.19 KH/s).
Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven
Running a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (300 W) pulls about 7.20 kWh per day (219.1 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.50 USD per day (15.12 USD/month or 181 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 6,022.51 blocks, worth about $144 — you would burn roughly 1x more in electricity than that reward is worth.
The operational breakeven threshold is 0.055 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:
- At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +0.11 USD / day
- At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.10 USD / day
- At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.47 USD / day
Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Conceal must trade at or above 0.0050 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.0087 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 1.5 hours, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:
- Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~4.5 min (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~1.0 hours (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~4.4 hours (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)
High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~4.4 hours), cumulative electricity burned (~0 USD) will exceed the block reward value (0 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Price & Estimated ROI
Current market price: $1,521. Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 4.9 years.
How other hardware compares on Conceal
Devices in the same hashrate class, solo mining Conceal at today's difficulty:
| Hardware | Hashrate | Expected block | Chance in 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 4090 | 9.78 KH/s | 37.4 min | 100.00% |
| GeForce RTX 3090 | 4.59 KH/s | 1.3 hours | 100.00% |
| GeForce RTX 3080 | 3.70 KH/s | 1.6 hours | 100.00% |
| GeForce RTX 3080 LHR | 3.69 KH/s | 1.7 hours | 100.00% |
How the odds have moved
Conceal's network hashrate climbed 52% since 2026-08-09, from 118.52 KH/s to 180.05 KH/s — so the same rig is now 52% less likely to find a block.
Where to point a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti at Conceal
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 4 solo pools for Conceal with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see Conceal solo mining pools:
- hashvault.pro (Fee: 0% · Hashrate: 17.45 KH/s)
- pool.conceal.network (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 1.11 KH/s)
- fastpool.xyz (Fee: 1% · Hashrate: 16.73 KH/s)
How the odds are calculated
Solo mining is memoryless: every hash is an independent lottery ticket, so the wait for a block follows an exponential distribution rather than a fixed schedule. On average a block takes T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the probability of finding at least one within a window t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). BackPoW uses this Poisson relation instead of a naive linear estimate. For this pair: daily chance 100.00%, yearly chance 100.00%.
