Solo mining odds — GeForce RTX 3080 on Kerrigan-EqZero

63.00 H/s · EquihashZero · network 31.41 H/s. A GeForce RTX 3080 solo mining Kerrigan-EqZero (KRG) has about 131,883 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 4.0 min for the full 5.0000 KRG reward.

Can you solo mine Kerrigan-EqZero with a GeForce RTX 3080?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 (63.00 H/s) can solo mine Kerrigan-EqZero (KRG) via a solo pool. At Kerrigan-EqZero's 31.41 H/s EquihashZero network that is about 131,883 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 4.0 min, for the full 5.0000 KRG 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 Kerrigan-EqZero

The GeForce RTX 3080 is categorized in the Mid-Range Workhorse Tier (Middle quartile hashrate offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.). Among all 2 tracked models on Kerrigan-EqZero, it ranks #1 in electrical efficiency (0.25 H/W) and #1 in raw hashrate (63.00 H/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a GeForce RTX 3080 (250 W) pulls about 6.00 kWh per day (182.6 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.41 USD per day (12.60 USD/month or 151 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 131,882.81 blocks, worth about $5,799 — expected revenue covers the power bill about 38.3x over.

The operational breakeven threshold is 2.646 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +15.64 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): +15.46 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): +15.16 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Kerrigan-EqZero must trade at or above 0.0002 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.0004 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 4.0 min, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~12 s (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~2.8 min (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~11.9 min (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)

Jackpot Safe: Even in a 1-in-20 bad luck drought (~11.9 min), the Kerrigan-EqZero block reward (0 USD) covers electricity costs (~0 USD) with a net surplus of ~0 USD.

GeForce RTX 3080 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $330–$410 (estimated market price, median $370) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 609 days.

How other hardware compares on Kerrigan-EqZero

Devices in the same hashrate class, solo mining Kerrigan-EqZero at today's difficulty:

How the odds have moved

Kerrigan-EqZero's network hashrate climbed 5% since 2026-08-08, from 29.98 H/s to 31.41 H/s — so the same rig is now 5% less likely to find a block.

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 100.00%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce RTX 3080 on Kerrigan-EqZero

Can you solo mine Kerrigan-EqZero with a GeForce RTX 3080?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 (63.00 H/s) can solo mine Kerrigan-EqZero (KRG) via a solo pool. At Kerrigan-EqZero's 31.41 H/s EquihashZero network that is about 131,883 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 4.0 min, for the full 5.0000 KRG block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is EquihashZero ASIC-resistant, and where does the GeForce RTX 3080 stand?

EquihashZero is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The GeForce RTX 3080 ranks #1 of 2 GPUs on Kerrigan-EqZero. 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 GeForce RTX 3080 on Kerrigan-EqZero?

At 250 W, operating a GeForce RTX 3080 consumes 6.00 kWh/day (182.6 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.41 USD/day (12.60 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 2.646 USD/kWh.

What happens if my GeForce RTX 3080 encounters a severe dry spell on Kerrigan-EqZero?

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 11.9 min, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
