Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the Orange Pi 5?
The Orange Pi 5 (CPU) can mine 9 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including EPIC-RandomX, Monero, Tari-RandomX, Dagger. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the Orange Pi 5 for mining?
Profitability of the Orange Pi 5 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 Orange Pi 5?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Orange Pi 5 is EPIC-RandomX (EPIC), at about $0.0153/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the Orange Pi 5 solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Orange Pi 5'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 Orange Pi 5 take to solo mine one EPIC-RandomX block?
About one EPIC-RandomX (EPIC) block every 31.4 days on average at the Orange Pi 5's rated hashrate, using EPIC-RandomX's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
What is the breakeven electricity rate for the Orange Pi 5?
The Orange Pi 5 breaks even at approximately 0.0711 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.
