Can you solo mine DGB-SHA with a Bitaxe Supra?
Yes — a Bitaxe Supra (599.34 GH/s) can solo mine DGB-SHA (DGB) via a solo pool. At DGB-SHA's 40.92 PH/s SHA-256 network that is about 6 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 59 days, for the full 250.7300 DGB (≈ 1 USD) 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 DGB-SHA
The Bitaxe Supra 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 8 tracked models on DGB-SHA, it ranks #7 in electrical efficiency (42,810,000,000.00 H/W) and #7 in raw hashrate (599.34 GH/s).
Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven
Running a Bitaxe Supra (14 W) pulls about 0.34 kWh per day (10.2 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.02 USD per day (0.71 USD/month or 8 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 6.16 blocks, worth about $6.31 — you would burn roughly 1x more in electricity than that reward is worth.
The operational breakeven threshold is 0.051 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:
- At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +0.00 USD / day
- At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.01 USD / day
- At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.02 USD / day
Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, DGB-SHA must trade at or above 0.00548 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.00953 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 59 days, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:
- Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~3 days (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~41 days (Nominal median, power cost: ~1 USD)
- Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~178 days (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~4 USD)
High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~178 days), cumulative electricity burned (~4 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.
Bitaxe Supra Price & Estimated ROI
Current market price: $55–$135 (estimated market price, median $85) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 66.9 years.

How the odds have moved
DGB-SHA's network hashrate fell 6% since 2026-09-08, from 43.41 PH/s to 40.92 PH/s — so the same rig is now 6% more likely to find a block.
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 1.67%, yearly chance 99.79%.
Frequently Asked Questions: Bitaxe Supra on DGB-SHA
Can you solo mine DGB-SHA with a Bitaxe Supra?
Yes — a Bitaxe Supra (599.34 GH/s) can solo mine DGB-SHA (DGB) via a solo pool. At DGB-SHA's 40.92 PH/s SHA-256 network that is about 6 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 59 days, for the full 250.7300 DGB (≈ 1 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 stand?
SHA-256 is an ASIC-dominated algorithm. The Bitaxe Supra delivers 599.34 GH/s (#7 of 8 models on DGB-SHA). 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 on DGB-SHA?
At 14 W, operating a Bitaxe Supra consumes 0.34 kWh/day (10.2 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.02 USD/day (0.71 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.051 USD/kWh.
What happens if my Bitaxe Supra encounters a severe dry spell on DGB-SHA?
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 178 days, accumulating roughly 4 USD in power costs.
