Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh?
The Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh (ASIC) can mine 15 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including Quai-Scrypt, AUR-Scrypt, Dogecoin, Stohn. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh for mining?
Profitability of the Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh 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 L9 16Gh?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh is Quai-Scrypt (QUAI), at about $9.40/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 L9 16Gh solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh'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 L9 16Gh take to solo mine one Quai-Scrypt block?
About one Quai-Scrypt (QUAI) block every 16 min on average at the Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh's rated hashrate, using Quai-Scrypt's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
What is the breakeven electricity rate for the Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh?
The Bitmain Antminer L9 16Gh breaks even at approximately 0.1165 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.
