Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the Bitmain Antminer HS3?
The Bitmain Antminer HS3 (ASIC) can mine 1 proof-of-work coin on BackPoW, including Handshake. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the Bitmain Antminer HS3 for mining?
Profitability of the Bitmain Antminer HS3 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 Bitmain Antminer HS3?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Bitmain Antminer HS3 is Handshake (HNS), at about $8.87/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the Bitmain Antminer HS3 solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Bitmain Antminer HS3'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 Bitmain Antminer HS3 take to solo mine one Handshake block?
About one Handshake (HNS) block every 12.7 h on average at the Bitmain Antminer HS3's rated hashrate, using Handshake's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
Where can I solo mine with the Bitmain Antminer HS3?
You can solo mine Handshake with the Bitmain Antminer HS3 by connecting to verified solo stratum gateways such as mining-dutch.nl, cyberpool.io. These pools forward 100% of the block reward directly to your wallet upon discovery (minus standard pool fees).
What is the breakeven electricity rate for the Bitmain Antminer HS3?
The Bitmain Antminer HS3 breaks even at approximately 0.1776 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.
