Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the Apple M1 Max?
The Apple M1 Max (CPU) can mine 8 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including EPIC-RandomX, Monero, Dagger, Etica (RandX). Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the Apple M1 Max for mining?
Profitability of the Apple M1 Max depends on the coin, its network difficulty, the coin price, your electricity cost and pool fees. BackPoW ranks every mineable coin by daily, monthly and annual profit so you can pick the best target.
What is the best coin to mine with the Apple M1 Max?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Apple M1 Max is EPIC-RandomX (EPIC), at about $0.1301/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the Apple M1 Max solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Apple M1 Max's solo block-hit probability per coin using a Poisson model based on live network hashrate, so you can gauge your realistic chance of finding a block.
How long would the Apple M1 Max take to solo mine one EPIC-RandomX block?
About one EPIC-RandomX (EPIC) block every 3.7 days on average at the Apple M1 Max's rated hashrate, using EPIC-RandomX's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
What is the breakeven electricity rate for the Apple M1 Max?
The Apple M1 Max breaks even at approximately 0.1549 USD/kWh. If your electricity tariff is below this threshold, mining is profitable at current coin prices and network difficulty. Above this rate, power costs exceed daily revenue and the miner operates at a loss. BackPoW recalculates this figure every update.
