Block Odds Analysis

How the two solo miners compare on their chance of finding a block and on the electricity each ticket costs.

Both machines are solo lottery miners, so this comparison is about odds, not income. Each one hashes against the live network difficulty of its coin, and the one with more hashrate has proportionally better odds of solving a block. The yearly electricity cost is what you pay to stay in the draw, and the block value is what a single win pays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The miner with more hashrate holds more tickets in every block, so its odds are better in direct proportion. Current daily block odds: HammerMiner DC08 1 in 11.1K, NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 1 in 615K.

Electricity is the price of the ticket. Yearly electricity cost at your rate: HammerMiner DC08 $84.10, NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 $168.19.

A solo block pays the full block reward plus the transaction fees to your own address. Current block value: HammerMiner DC08 $336 (LTC), NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 $241,906 (BTC).

No. Every hash is an independent draw, so a higher hashrate only raises the chance per day, month and year. Neither miner earns anything until a block is found, which is why both are compared on odds and not on daily profit.

The HammerMiner DC08 has a hashrate of 440MH/s.

The NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 has a hashrate of 12TH/s.

The HammerMiner DC08 uses Scrypt, ideal for mining Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), while the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 uses SHA-256, suitable for Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

The HammerMiner DC08 consumes 120W, while the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 consumes 240W.

Efficiency comparison is not possible as the HammerMiner DC08 uses Scrypt and the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 uses SHA-256, making hashrate per watt metrics incomparable.

The HammerMiner DC08 operates at 37db, while the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 operates at 40db. Lower noise levels are preferable for residential or noise-sensitive environments.

The HammerMiner DC08 uses Air cooling, and the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 uses Air cooling. Both require robust cooling systems like liquid cooling loops or high-capacity air cooling to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating.

Hardware Comparison

A side-by-side breakdown of key hardware specifications to evaluate performance, efficiency, and overall value of the two selected ASIC miners.

Release timeline shows the HammerMiner DC08 launched in September 2026 while the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 entered the market in January 2026. Newer miners typically incorporate improved chip architecture and manufacturing processes, leading to better efficiency and performance characteristics. Acoustic performance differs with the HammerMiner DC08 operating at 37db versus 40db for the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1. Noise levels significantly impact placement options, with quieter units suitable for residential or office environments while louder miners require dedicated facilities with proper sound isolation. Humidity specifications indicate the HammerMiner DC08 operates within 5 - 95 % conditions compared to 5 - 95 % for the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1. Better humidity tolerance enables deployment in more diverse geographic locations and reduces the need for expensive climate control systems in mining facilities.
