Goldshell HS5 (ASIC) Mining Profitability & Solo Block Chance
See the daily, monthly and annual mining profitability of the Goldshell HS5 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 HS5?
The Goldshell HS5 (ASIC) can mine 3 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including Sia, Handshake, ScPrime. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the Goldshell HS5 for mining?
Profitability of the Goldshell HS5 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 HS5?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Goldshell HS5 is Sia (SC), at about $5.21/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 HS5 solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Goldshell HS5'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 HS5 take to solo mine one Sia block?
About one Sia (SC) block every 5.9 days on average at the Goldshell HS5's rated hashrate, using Sia's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
What is the breakeven electricity rate for the Goldshell HS5?
The Goldshell HS5 breaks even at approximately 0.1448 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.
