GeForce RTX 3080 on MWC-CT31 — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a GeForce RTX 3080 on MWC-CT31 (MWC) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine MWC-CT31 with a GeForce RTX 3080?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 (2.00 H/s) can solo mine MWC-CT31 (MWC) via a solo pool. At MWC-CT31's 8.28 KH/s Cuckatoo31 network that is about 127 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3 days, for the full 0.0500 MWC 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 MWC-CT31

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 MWC-CT31, it ranks #1 in electrical efficiency (0.01 H/W) and #1 in raw hashrate (2.00 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 126.67 blocks, worth about $69.54 — you would burn roughly 2x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.032 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.05 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.22 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.53 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, MWC-CT31 must trade at or above 23.87 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 41.52 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 days, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~3.5 hours (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~2 days (Nominal median, power cost: ~1 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~9 days (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~4 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~9 days), cumulative electricity burned (~4 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

GeForce RTX 3080 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $1,073. Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 641 days.

How other hardware compares on MWC-CT31

Devices in the same hashrate class, solo mining MWC-CT31 at today's difficulty:

How the odds have moved

MWC-CT31's network hashrate climbed 4% since 2026-09-08, from 7.96 KH/s to 8.28 KH/s — so the same rig is now 4% less likely to find a block.

Where to point a GeForce RTX 3080 at MWC-CT31

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 MWC-CT31 with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see MWC-CT31 solo mining pools:

• woolypooly.com (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 69.77 H/s)
• 2miners.com (Fee: 1.5% · Hashrate: 369.74 H/s)
• grandpool.io (Fee: 0.01%)

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 29.31%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce RTX 3080 on MWC-CT31

Can you solo mine MWC-CT31 with a GeForce RTX 3080?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 (2.00 H/s) can solo mine MWC-CT31 (MWC) via a solo pool. At MWC-CT31's 8.28 KH/s Cuckatoo31 network that is about 127 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 3 days, for the full 0.0500 MWC block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is Cuckatoo31 ASIC-resistant, and where does the GeForce RTX 3080 stand?

Cuckatoo31 is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The GeForce RTX 3080 ranks #1 of 2 GPUs on MWC-CT31. 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 MWC-CT31?

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 0.032 USD/kWh.

What happens if my GeForce RTX 3080 encounters a severe dry spell on MWC-CT31?

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 9 days, accumulating roughly 4 USD in power costs.
