Miner Comparison Results

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: NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 1 in 550K, NerdMiner NerdQX 1 in 825K.

Electricity is the price of the ticket. Yearly electricity cost at your rate: NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 $168.19, NerdMiner NerdQX $119.14.

A solo block pays the full block reward plus the transaction fees to your own address. Current block value: NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 $262,976 (BTC), NerdMiner NerdQX $262,976 (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 NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 has a hashrate of 12TH/s.

The NerdMiner NerdQX has a hashrate of 8TH/s.

Both miners use the SHA-256 algorithm, suitable for mining cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

The NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 consumes 240W, while the NerdMiner NerdQX consumes 170W.

The NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 achieves 50.00 GH/W, while the NerdMiner NerdQX achieves 47.06 GH/W. Higher hashrate per watt indicates better energy efficiency.

The NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 operates at 40db, while the NerdMiner NerdQX operates at 45db. Lower noise levels are preferable for residential or noise-sensitive environments.

The NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 uses Air cooling, and the NerdMiner NerdQX 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 NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 launched in January 2026 while the NerdMiner NerdQX entered the market in July 2026. Newer miners typically incorporate improved chip architecture and manufacturing processes, leading to better efficiency and performance characteristics. Acoustic performance differs with the NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 operating at 40db versus 45db for the NerdMiner NerdQX. 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 NerdMiner NerdOCTAxe Rev 3.1 operates within 5 - 95 % conditions compared to 10 - 65 % for the NerdMiner NerdQX. Better humidity tolerance enables deployment in more diverse geographic locations and reduces the need for expensive climate control systems in mining facilities.
