Goldshell Byte (ASIC) Mining Profitability & Solo Block Chance
See the daily, monthly and annual mining profitability of the Goldshell Byte ASIC across every compatible proof-of-work coin, plus its solo block-hit probability. BackPoW uses live network difficulty and coin prices, and lets you set your electricity cost and pool fee to get realistic net profit figures.

Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the Goldshell Byte?
The Goldshell Byte (ASIC) can mine 1 proof-of-work coin on BackPoW, including Aleo. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the Goldshell Byte for mining?
Profitability of the Goldshell Byte 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 Goldshell Byte?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Goldshell Byte is Aleo (ALEO), at about $0.0158/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the Goldshell Byte solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Goldshell Byte'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 Goldshell Byte take to solo mine one Aleo block?
About one Aleo (ALEO) block every 75.1 days on average at the Goldshell Byte's rated hashrate, using Aleo's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
What is the breakeven electricity rate for the Goldshell Byte?
The Goldshell Byte breaks even at approximately 0.0101 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.
