Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the StrongU STU-U8?
The StrongU STU-U8 (ASIC) can mine 9 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including BitcoinII, Quai-SHA, Peercoin, Bitcoin. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the StrongU STU-U8 for mining?
Profitability of the StrongU STU-U8 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 StrongU STU-U8?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the StrongU STU-U8 is BitcoinII (BTCII), at about $2.05/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the StrongU STU-U8 solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the StrongU STU-U8'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 StrongU STU-U8 take to solo mine one BitcoinII block?
About one BitcoinII (BTCII) block every 2.7 days on average at the StrongU STU-U8's rated hashrate, using BitcoinII's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
Where can I solo mine with the StrongU STU-U8?
You can solo mine BitcoinII with the StrongU STU-U8 by connecting to verified solo stratum gateways such as sneakattack.se, jackpool.ru, nitropool.net. 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 StrongU STU-U8?
The StrongU STU-U8 breaks even at approximately 0.0407 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.
