160.14 GH/s · Blake (14r) · network 2.33 PH/s. A Baikal BK-B solo mining ScPrime (SCP) has about 4 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 100 days for the full 45.0000 SCP reward.

Baikal BK-B on ScPrime — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a Baikal BK-B on ScPrime (SCP) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine ScPrime with a Baikal BK-B?

Yes — a Baikal BK-B (160.14 GH/s) can solo mine ScPrime (SCP) via a solo pool. At ScPrime's 2.33 PH/s Blake (14r) network that is about 4 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 100 days, for the full 45.0000 SCP 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 ScPrime

The Baikal BK-B 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 ScPrime, it ranks #2 in electrical efficiency (390,595,121.95 H/W) and #2 in raw hashrate (160.14 GH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a Baikal BK-B (410 W) pulls about 9.84 kWh per day (299.5 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.68 USD per day (20.67 USD/month or 248 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 3.64 blocks, worth about $3.23 — you would burn roughly 77x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.001 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.38 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.67 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -1.17 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, ScPrime must trade at or above 1.51 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 2.63 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 100 days, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~5 days (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~3 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~69 days (Nominal median, power cost: ~47 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~300 days (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~204 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~300 days), cumulative electricity burned (~204 USD) will exceed the block reward value (1 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

How other hardware compares on ScPrime

How the odds have moved

ScPrime's network hashrate fell 39% since 2026-09-08, from 3.84 PH/s to 2.33 PH/s — so the same rig is now 39% more likely to find a block.

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 0.9927%, yearly chance 97.38%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Baikal BK-B on ScPrime

Can you solo mine ScPrime with a Baikal BK-B?

Yes — a Baikal BK-B (160.14 GH/s) can solo mine ScPrime (SCP) via a solo pool. At ScPrime's 2.33 PH/s Blake (14r) network that is about 4 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 100 days, for the full 45.0000 SCP block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is Blake (14r) ASIC-resistant, and where does the Baikal BK-B stand?

Blake (14r) is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The Baikal BK-B ranks #2 of 2 GPUs on ScPrime. 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 Baikal BK-B on ScPrime?

At 410 W, operating a Baikal BK-B consumes 9.84 kWh/day (299.5 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.68 USD/day (20.67 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.001 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Baikal BK-B encounters a severe dry spell on ScPrime?

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 300 days, accumulating roughly 204 USD in power costs.
