Can you solo mine DGB-SHA with a Bitaxe Supra Hex?

Yes — a Bitaxe Supra Hex (4.19 TH/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 43 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 8 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 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 8 tracked models on DGB-SHA, it ranks #5 in electrical efficiency (44,135,368,421.05 H/W) and #4 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 43.12 blocks, worth about $44.13 — you would burn roughly 1x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.053 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, DGB-SHA must trade at or above 0.00531 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.00924 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 8 days, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~25 days), cumulative electricity burned (~4 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 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

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

Because each hash succeeds independently, finding a block is a Poisson process — there is no 'due' block, only an average rate. The mean time between blocks is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the realistic chance of at least one block over a period t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). That is why a longer run raises your odds but never guarantees a block. For this pair: daily chance 11.14%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bitaxe Supra Hex on DGB-SHA

Can you solo mine DGB-SHA with a Bitaxe Supra Hex?

Yes — a Bitaxe Supra Hex (4.19 TH/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 43 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 8 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 Hex stand?

SHA-256 is an ASIC-dominated algorithm. The Bitaxe Supra Hex delivers 4.19 TH/s (#4 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 Hex on DGB-SHA?

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 0.053 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Bitaxe Supra Hex 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 25 days, accumulating roughly 4 USD in power costs.
