Bitmain Antminer Z11 on Kerrigan-Equihash — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a Bitmain Antminer Z11 on Kerrigan-Equihash (KRG) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine Kerrigan-Equihash with a Bitmain Antminer Z11?

Yes — a Bitmain Antminer Z11 (134.76 KH/s) can solo mine Kerrigan-Equihash (KRG) via a solo pool. At Kerrigan-Equihash's 138.49 KH/s Equihash network that is about 63,972 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 8.2 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-Equihash

The Bitmain Antminer Z11 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-Equihash, it ranks #1 in electrical efficiency (95.03 H/W) and #1 in raw hashrate (134.76 KH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a Bitmain Antminer Z11 (1,418 W) pulls about 34.03 kWh per day (1035.8 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 2.35 USD per day (71.47 USD/month or 858 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 63,972.32 blocks, worth about $2,895 — expected revenue covers the power bill about 3.4x over.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.233 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +6.57 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): +5.58 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): +3.84 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Kerrigan-Equihash must trade at or above 0.00268 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.00466 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 8.2 min, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~25 s (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~5.7 min (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~24.6 min (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)

Jackpot Safe: Even in a 1-in-20 bad luck drought (~24.6 min), the Kerrigan-Equihash block reward (0 USD) covers electricity costs (~0 USD) with a net surplus of ~0 USD.

Bitmain Antminer Z11 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $1,480–$1,759 across 2 vendors (median $1,620). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 263 days.

How other hardware compares on Kerrigan-Equihash

How the odds have moved

Kerrigan-Equihash's network hashrate has been essentially flat since 2026-09-08, from 138.89 KH/s to 138.49 KH/s — so your odds are unchanged.

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%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bitmain Antminer Z11 on Kerrigan-Equihash

Can you solo mine Kerrigan-Equihash with a Bitmain Antminer Z11?

Yes — a Bitmain Antminer Z11 (134.76 KH/s) can solo mine Kerrigan-Equihash (KRG) via a solo pool. At Kerrigan-Equihash's 138.49 KH/s Equihash network that is about 63,972 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 8.2 min, for the full 5.0000 KRG block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is Equihash ASIC-resistant, and where does the Bitmain Antminer Z11 stand?

Equihash is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The Bitmain Antminer Z11 ranks #1 of 2 GPUs on Kerrigan-Equihash. 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 Bitmain Antminer Z11 on Kerrigan-Equihash?

At 1,418 W, operating a Bitmain Antminer Z11 consumes 34.03 kWh/day (1035.8 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 2.35 USD/day (71.47 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.233 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Bitmain Antminer Z11 encounters a severe dry spell on Kerrigan-Equihash?

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 24.6 min, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
