Can you solo mine Ravencoin with a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR?
Yes — a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR (27.00 MH/s) can solo mine Ravencoin (RVN) via a solo pool. At Ravencoin's 650.48 GH/s KawPow network that is about 22 blocks per year — expected one block roughly every 17 days, for the full 1,250.0000 RVN (≈ 2 USD) 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 Ravencoin
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR 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 18 tracked models on Ravencoin, it ranks #17 in electrical efficiency (142,105.26 H/W) and #15 in raw hashrate (27.00 MH/s).
Electricity Operating Costs & Breakeven
Running a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR (190 W) pulls about 4.56 kWh per day (138.8 kWh per month). At the standard rate of 0.069 USD/kWh, electricity costs roughly 0.31 USD per day (9.58 USD/month or 115 USD/year). Statistically that year returns 21.74 blocks, worth about $40.35 — you would burn roughly 3x more in electricity than that reward is worth.
The operational breakeven threshold is 0.024 USD/kWh. Expected net operating margin at benchmark tariffs:
- At 0.040 USD/kWh (Hydro / Renewable): -0.07 USD / day
- At 0.069 USD/kWh (Standard Industrial): -0.20 USD / day
- At 0.120 USD/kWh (Residential Grid): -0.44 USD / day
Break-even Coin Price Target: For this hardware to break even on electricity, Ravencoin must trade at or above 0.00423 USD at standard industrial power (0.069 USD/kWh), or 0.00735 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 17 days, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:
- Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~20.7 hours (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~12 days (Nominal median, power cost: ~4 USD)
- Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~50 days (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~16 USD)
High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~50 days), cumulative electricity burned (~16 USD) will exceed the block reward value (2 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR Price & Estimated ROI
Current market price: $416–$526 (estimated market price, median $471) (Hardware price estimated). Mined against its most profitable coin instead of solo, it would pay itself back in about 3.6 years.

Ravencoin's network hashrate has been essentially flat since 2026-09-22, from 655.82 GH/s to 650.48 GH/s — so your odds are unchanged.
Where to point a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR at Ravencoin
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 22 solo pools for Ravencoin with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see Ravencoin solo mining pools:
- ravenminer.com (Fee: 0.5% · Hashrate: 75.52 GH/s)
- herominers.com (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 9.72 GH/s)
- woolypooly.com (Fee: 0.9% · Hashrate: 6.41 GH/s)
How the odds are calculated
Solo mining is memoryless: every hash is an independent lottery ticket, so the wait for a block follows an exponential distribution rather than a fixed schedule. On average a block takes T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the probability of finding at least one within a window t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). BackPoW uses this Poisson relation instead of a naive linear estimate. For this pair: daily chance 5.78%, yearly chance 100.00%.
