Can you solo mine Radiant with a GeForce RTX 3080 LHR?
Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 LHR (999.00 MH/s) can solo mine Radiant (RXD) via a solo pool. At Radiant's 159.20 TH/s SHA512256d network that is about a 1-in-2 chance per year — expected one block roughly every 1.53 yr, for the full 12,500.0000 RXD 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 Radiant
The GeForce RTX 3080 LHR is categorized in the Home / Solo Lottery Tier (Compact or low-power hardware optimized for decentralized solo lottery participation rather than commercial pool revenue.). Among all 8 tracked models on Radiant, it ranks #5 in electrical efficiency (7,684,615.38 H/W) and #8 in raw hashrate (999.00 MH/s).
Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven
Running a GeForce RTX 3080 LHR (130 W) pulls about 3.12 kWh per day (95.0 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.22 USD per day (6.55 USD/month or 79 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 0.66 blocks, worth about $0.336 — you would burn roughly 234x more in electricity than that reward is worth.
The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:
- At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.12 USD / day
- At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.21 USD / day
- At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.37 USD / day
Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Radiant must trade at or above 0.00960 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.0167 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 1.53 yr, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:
- Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~29 days (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~6 USD)
- Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~1.06 yr (Nominal median, power cost: ~83 USD)
- Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~4.57 yr (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~360 USD)
High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~4.57 yr), cumulative electricity burned (~360 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.
GeForce RTX 3080 LHR Price & Estimated ROI
Current market price: $330–$400 (estimated market price, median $365) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 487 days.
How other hardware compares on Radiant
Devices in the same hashrate class, solo mining Radiant at today's difficulty:
| Hardware | Hashrate | Expected block | Chance in 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 3090 Ti | 1.20 GH/s | 1.27 yr | 54.52% |
| GeForce RTX 3090 | 1.20 GH/s | 1.27 yr | 54.51% |

| GeForce RTX 3080 12GB | 1.10 GH/s | 1.39 yr | 51.33% |
How the odds have moved
Radiant's network hashrate fell 62% since 2026-09-08, from 416.41 TH/s to 159.20 TH/s — so the same rig is now 62% more likely to find a block.
Where to point a GeForce RTX 3080 LHR at Radiant
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 6 solo pools for Radiant with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see Radiant solo mining pools:
- mangledpool.com (Fee: 0% · Hashrate: 1.63 TH/s)
- vipor.net (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 77.41 TH/s)
- k1pool.com (Fee: 1% · Hashrate: 6.93 TH/s)
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 0.1792%, yearly chance 48.06%.
