Your hardware solves complex maths puzzles to validate transactions. Win a block, earn Bitcoin. Here's the simple version.
Your ASIC machine runs at full speed computing trillions of calculations per second (TH/s), racing other miners worldwide.
When your machine finds the correct hash first, you win the right to add the next block to the Bitcoin blockchain.
You receive the block reward (currently 3.125 BTC) plus all transaction fees in that block — paid directly to your wallet.
Solo mining is very hard. Most home miners join a mining pool (like Luxor or Braiins) to combine hashrate and earn steadier payouts.
Ranked by efficiency, profitability, and noise level. All models available for home use in Australia.
Mining profitability depends heavily on your electricity rate. Australian average is ~$0.30/kWh. At that rate, the S21 Pro breaks even in ~14 months at current BTC prices. Use our calculator below before purchasing.
