Baikal BK-G28 on GroestlCoin — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a Baikal BK-G28 on GroestlCoin (GRS) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine GroestlCoin with a Baikal BK-G28?

Yes — a Baikal BK-G28 (27.99 GH/s) can solo mine GroestlCoin (GRS) via a solo pool. At GroestlCoin's 5.46 TH/s Groestl network that is about 2,572 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3.4 hours, for the full 5.0000 GRS block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model. Realistically this is genuinely worth a patient solo run.

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a Baikal BK-G28 (450 W) pulls about 10.80 kWh per day (328.7 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.75 USD per day (22.68 USD/month or 272 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 2,571.53 blocks, worth about $346 — expected revenue covers the power bill about 1.3x over.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.088 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +0.51 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): +0.20 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.35 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, GroestlCoin must trade at or above 0.0212 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.0368 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 3.4 hours, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~10.5 min (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~2.4 hours (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~10.2 hours (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~10.2 hours), cumulative electricity burned (~0 USD) will exceed the block reward value (0 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

How the odds have moved

GroestlCoin's network hashrate climbed 4% since 2026-09-08, from 5.26 TH/s to 5.46 TH/s — so the same rig is now 4% less likely to find a block.

Where to point a Baikal BK-G28 at GroestlCoin

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 2 solo pools for GroestlCoin with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see GroestlCoin solo mining pools:

• mining-dutch.nl (Fee: 1% · Hashrate: 4.52 TH/s)
• retromike.net (Fee: 1% · Hashrate: 56.56 GH/s)

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 99.91%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Baikal BK-G28 on GroestlCoin

Can you solo mine GroestlCoin with a Baikal BK-G28?

Yes — a Baikal BK-G28 (27.99 GH/s) can solo mine GroestlCoin (GRS) via a solo pool. At GroestlCoin's 5.46 TH/s Groestl network that is about 2,572 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3.4 hours, for the full 5.0000 GRS block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is Groestl ASIC-resistant, and where does the Baikal BK-G28 stand?

Groestl is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The Baikal BK-G28 ranks #1 of 1 GPUs on GroestlCoin. It operates in the Mid-Range Tier (middle quartile), offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.

What is the operating power cost and breakeven electricity rate for a Baikal BK-G28 on GroestlCoin?

At 450 W, operating a Baikal BK-G28 consumes 10.80 kWh/day (328.7 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.75 USD/day (22.68 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.088 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Baikal BK-G28 encounters a severe dry spell on GroestlCoin?

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 10.2 hours, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
