Can you solo mine Quai-SHA with a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1?

Yes — a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 (6.00 TH/s) can solo mine Quai-SHA (QUAI) via a solo pool. At Quai-SHA's 149.55 PH/s SHA-256 network that is about 1,047 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 8.4 hours, for the full 9.7800 QUAI block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model. Realistically this is genuinely worth a patient solo run.

Hardware Tier & Ecosystem Ranking on Quai-SHA

The Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 is categorized in the Home / Solo Lottery Tier (Compact or low-power hardware optimized for decentralized solo lottery participation rather than commercial pool revenue.). Among all 9 tracked models on Quai-SHA, it ranks #6 in electrical efficiency (60,024,000,000.00 H/W) and #3 in raw hashrate (6.00 TH/s).

Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven

Running a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 (100 W) pulls about 2.40 kWh per day (73.1 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.17 USD per day (5.04 USD/month or 60 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 1,046.76 blocks, worth about $82.14 — expected revenue covers the power bill about 1.4x over.

The operational breakeven threshold is 0.094 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:

Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Quai-SHA must trade at or above 0.00591 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.0103 USD at residential power (0.120 USD/kWh).

Bankroll & Variance Risk Simulator

Solo mining block discovery follows a memoryless Poisson distribution. While the average wait is 8.4 hours, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:

High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~1 days), cumulative electricity burned (~0 USD) will exceed the block reward value (0 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 Price & Estimated ROI

Current market price: $276–$332 across 5 vendors (median $285). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 11.1 years.

How the odds have moved

Quai-SHA's network hashrate climbed 4% since 2026-09-22, from 144.04 PH/s to 149.55 PH/s — so the same rig is now 4% less likely to find a block.

Where to point a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 at Quai-SHA

Solo mining still runs through a solo pool: it handles the block template and pays the full reward to whoever finds the block. BackPoW tracks 7 solo pools for Quai-SHA with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see Quai-SHA solo mining pools:

How the odds are calculated

Because each hash succeeds independently, finding a block is a Poisson process — there is no 'due' block, only an average rate. The mean time between blocks is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the realistic chance of at least one block over a period t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). That is why a longer run raises your odds but never guarantees a block. For this pair: daily chance 94.31%, yearly chance 100.00%.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 on Quai-SHA

Can you solo mine Quai-SHA with a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1?

Yes — a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 (6.00 TH/s) can solo mine Quai-SHA (QUAI) via a solo pool. At Quai-SHA's 149.55 PH/s SHA-256 network that is about 1,047 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 8.4 hours, for the full 9.7800 QUAI block. BackPoW computes this from live network difficulty using a Poisson block-discovery model.

Is SHA-256 ASIC-resistant, and where does the Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 stand?

SHA-256 is an ASIC-dominated algorithm. The Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 delivers 6.00 TH/s (#3 of 9 models on Quai-SHA). It belongs to the Home / Solo Lottery Tier, built for compact, decentralized solo attempts rather than commercial pool income.

What is the operating power cost and breakeven electricity rate for a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 on Quai-SHA?

At 100 W, operating a Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 consumes 2.40 kWh/day (73.1 kWh/month). At standard electricity (0.069 USD/kWh), the power bill is 0.17 USD/day (5.04 USD/month). The operational breakeven threshold is 0.094 USD/kWh.

What happens if my Bitaxe NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 encounters a severe dry spell on Quai-SHA?

Block discovery is an independent Poisson process with no memory. In a 1-in-20 bad luck drought (5% worst luck), finding a block can stretch up to 1 days, accumulating roughly 0 USD in power costs.
