Solo Mining Estimate
Solo mining is a lottery. There is no guarantee of finding a block. These estimates are based on current network difficulty and your hashrate. Every hash has an equal chance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Baikal BK-N profitable?
At $0.07/kWh, the Baikal BK-N currently operates at a daily loss of $0.10. However, profitability can improve with lower electricity rates or rising BTC prices. If used as a space heater, the heating offset may make it economically viable.
Can I mine Bitcoin at home with the Baikal BK-N?
The Baikal BK-N has a home mining score of 36/100. With 0 dB noise and 60W power draw, it may require a dedicated space like a garage, basement, or outdoor enclosure. Consider noise insulation and proper ventilation.
Can the Baikal BK-N heat my home?
The Baikal BK-N outputs approximately 205 BTU/hr of heat. For reference, a typical space heater produces 5,000-5,500 BTU/hr. All electrical energy consumed by the miner is converted to heat, making it 100% efficient as a heater. D-Central offers Bitcoin Space Heater builds designed specifically for home heating integration.
What power supply does the Baikal BK-N need?
The Baikal BK-N draws 60W of power. You need a power supply rated for at least 66W with appropriate voltage (200-240V AC). D-Central stocks compatible power supplies in our shop. Always use a quality PSU from a reputable manufacturer to protect your investment.
