Baikal BK-G28 on Verge-Groestl — Mining Truth Benchmark & Specifications

Consolidated PoW oracle metrics for operating a Baikal BK-G28 on Verge-Groestl (XVG) at live network difficulty and benchmark industrial electricity (0.069 USD/kWh):

Can you solo mine Verge-Groestl with a Baikal BK-G28?

Yes — a Baikal BK-G28 (27.99 GH/s) can solo mine Verge-Groestl (XVG) via a solo pool. At Verge-Groestl's 1.68 MH/s Myr-Groestl network that is about 3,508,484,188 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 0 s, for the full 0.0000 XVG block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model. Realistically this is genuinely worth a patient solo run.

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a Baikal BK-G28 (350 W) pulls about 8.40 kWh per day (255.7 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.58 USD per day (17.64 USD/month or 212 USD/year).

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.34 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.58 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -1.01 USD / day

Bankroll & Variance Risk Simulator

Solo mining block discovery follows a memoryless Poisson distribution. While the average wait is 0 s, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

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

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

How the odds have moved

Verge-Groestl's network hashrate climbed 82% since 2026-09-08, from 923.54 KH/s to 1.68 MH/s — so the same rig is now 82% less likely to find a block.

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: Baikal BK-G28 on Verge-Groestl

Can you solo mine Verge-Groestl with a Baikal BK-G28?

Yes — a Baikal BK-G28 (27.99 GH/s) can solo mine Verge-Groestl (XVG) via a solo pool. At Verge-Groestl's 1.68 MH/s Myr-Groestl network that is about 3,508,484,188 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 0 s, for the full 0.0000 XVG block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is Myr-Groestl ASIC-resistant, and where does the Baikal BK-G28 stand?

Myr-Groestl is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The Baikal BK-G28 ranks #1 of 1 GPUs on Verge-Groestl. 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-G28 on Verge-Groestl?

At 350 W, operating a Baikal BK-G28 consumes 8.40 kWh/day (255.7 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.58 USD/day (17.64 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.000 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Baikal BK-G28 encounters a severe dry spell on Verge-Groestl?

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 0 s, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
