Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the ForestMiner EPU XC?
The ForestMiner EPU XC (ASIC) can mine 2 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including Etica (Etchash), EthereumClassic. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the ForestMiner EPU XC for mining?
Profitability of the ForestMiner EPU XC 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 ForestMiner EPU XC?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the ForestMiner EPU XC is EthereumClassic (ETC), at about $2.42/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the ForestMiner EPU XC solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the ForestMiner EPU XC'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 ForestMiner EPU XC take to solo mine one EthereumClassic block?
About one EthereumClassic (ETC) block every 5.6 days on average at the ForestMiner EPU XC's rated hashrate, using EthereumClassic's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
Where can I solo mine with the ForestMiner EPU XC?
You can solo mine EthereumClassic with the ForestMiner EPU XC by connecting to verified solo stratum gateways such as herominers.com, woolypooly.com, k1pool.com. 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 ForestMiner EPU XC?
The ForestMiner EPU XC breaks even at approximately 0.0304 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.
