## Solo Mining Estimate

Block reward: 3.125 BTC (~$201,531)

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.

## Home Mining Assessment

- **Home Mining Score**: 100/100 (Excellent)
- **Noise**: 35 dB - Quiet enough for living spaces
- **Heat Output**: 65W / 222 BTU - Minimal heat - suitable for any room
- **Power Draw**: 65W (0.1kW) - Standard outlet compatible (120V 15A)

The Goldshell AE Card is a Zksnark cryptocurrency miner manufactured by Goldshell. It delivers a hashrate of 5.5 MH/s with a power consumption of 65W, achieving an efficiency of 11818181.8 J/TH.
