Solo mining odds — GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Xelis

13.01 KH/s · Xelishashv3 · network 49.88 MH/s. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti solo mining Xelis (XEL) has about 1,417 blocks per year, i.e. an expected block roughly every 6.2 hours for the full 0.3100 XEL reward.

Can you solo mine Xelis with a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (13.01 KH/s) can solo mine Xelis (XEL) via a solo pool. At Xelis's 49.88 MH/s Xelishashv3 network that is about 1,417 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 6.2 hours, for the full 0.3100 XEL 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 Xelis

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is categorized in the Mid-Range Workhorse Tier (Middle quartile hashrate offering solid pool mining throughput with moderate solo variance.). Among all 8 tracked models on Xelis, it ranks #6 in electrical efficiency (61.97 H/W) and #6 in raw hashrate (13.01 KH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (210 W) pulls about 5.04 kWh per day (153.4 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.35 USD per day (10.58 USD/month or 127 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 1,417.01 blocks, worth about $115 — you would burn roughly 1x more in electricity than that reward is worth.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.062 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

• At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): +0.11 USD / day
• At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.03 USD / day
• At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.29 USD / day

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Xelis must trade at or above 0.2892 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.5029 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 6.2 hours, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

• Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~19.0 min (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~4.3 hours (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
• Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~18.5 hours (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~18.5 hours), cumulative electricity burned (~0 USD) will exceed the block reward value (0 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $1,521. Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 4.9 years.

How other hardware compares on Xelis

How the odds have moved

Xelis's network hashrate climbed 2% since 2026-08-09, from 48.72 MH/s to 49.88 MH/s — so the same rig is now 2% 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 97.93%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on Xelis

Can you solo mine Xelis with a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti?

Yes — a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (13.01 KH/s) can solo mine Xelis (XEL) via a solo pool. At Xelis's 49.88 MH/s Xelishashv3 network that is about 1,417 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 6.2 hours, for the full 0.3100 XEL block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is Xelishashv3 ASIC-resistant, and where does the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti stand?

Xelishashv3 is an ASIC-resistant GPU algorithm relying on memory bandwidth. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ranks #6 of 8 GPUs on Xelis. 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 Ti on Xelis?

At 210 W, operating a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti consumes 5.04 kWh/day (153.4 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.35 USD/day (10.58 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.062 USD/kWh.

What happens if my GeForce RTX 3080 Ti encounters a severe dry spell on Xelis?

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 18.5 hours, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
