Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the Samsung Galaxy S8?
The Samsung Galaxy S8 (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 Samsung Galaxy S8 for mining?
Profitability of the Samsung Galaxy S8 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 Samsung Galaxy S8?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Samsung Galaxy S8 is EPIC-RandomX (EPIC), at about $0.0107/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the Samsung Galaxy S8 solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Samsung Galaxy S8'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 Samsung Galaxy S8 take to solo mine one EPIC-RandomX block?
About one EPIC-RandomX (EPIC) block every 45.0 days on average at the Samsung Galaxy S8'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 Samsung Galaxy S8?
The Samsung Galaxy S8 breaks even at approximately 0.1275 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.
