134.76 KH/s · Equihash · network 450.41 KH/s. A Bitmain Antminer Z11 solo mining Komodo (KMD) has about 156,425 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 3.4 min for the full 1.0000 KMD reward.

Bitmain Antminer Z11 on Komodo — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

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

Can you solo mine Komodo with a Bitmain Antminer Z11?

Yes — a Bitmain Antminer Z11 (134.76 KH/s) can solo mine Komodo (KMD) via a solo pool. At Komodo's 450.41 KH/s Equihash network that is about 156,425 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3.4 min, for the full 1.0000 KMD 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 Komodo

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 Komodo, 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 156,425.17 blocks, worth about $519 — you would burn roughly 2x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.042 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +0.06 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.93 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -2.66 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Komodo must trade at or above 0.00548 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.00954 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 min, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~10 s (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~2.3 min (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~10.1 min (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~10.1 min), cumulative electricity burned (~0 USD) will exceed the block reward value (0 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

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 Komodo

How the odds have moved

Komodo's network hashrate climbed 21% since 2026-09-08, from 370.82 KH/s to 450.41 KH/s — so the same rig is now 21% less likely to find a block.

Where to point a Bitmain Antminer Z11 at Komodo

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

• mining-dutch.nl (Fee: 1%)
• himpool.com (Fee: 2%)
• solopool.site (Fee: 2%)

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 100.00%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bitmain Antminer Z11 on Komodo

Can you solo mine Komodo with a Bitmain Antminer Z11?

Yes — a Bitmain Antminer Z11 (134.76 KH/s) can solo mine Komodo (KMD) via a solo pool. At Komodo's 450.41 KH/s Equihash network that is about 156,425 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3.4 min, for the full 1.0000 KMD 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 Komodo. 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 Komodo?

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 0.042 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Bitmain Antminer Z11 encounters a severe dry spell on Komodo?

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 10.1 min, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
