Tari (Minotari) XTM

At 5¢/kWh the most profitable Tari (Minotari) miner today, the Goldshell XT-BOX, earns about $2.30 a day and burns $0.48 of electricity, leaving about $1.82 a day. 2 of 2 SHA3x miners we track are profitable at that price. Set your own power price above and the whole page recalculates.

Ranked by profit per day at 5¢/kWh: Goldshell XT-BOX ($1.82/day, 580 GH/s at 400 W), Goldshell XT Card ($0.322/day, 100 GH/s at 65 W). The most efficient machine we track is the Goldshell XT Card at 0.65 J/GH; cheap power favours raw hashrate, expensive power favours efficiency, so the order changes with your price.

At today's price and difficulty the Goldshell XT-BOX breaks even at about 24¢ per kWh: above that it costs more to run than it earns. The most efficient machine, the Goldshell XT Card, keeps paying up to about 26¢ per kWh. Pool fees (usually 1-4%), cooling and any hosting margin come on top, so plan with a buffer. Of the 2 machines we track, 2 are in profit at 3¢/kWh, 2 at 6¢ and 2 at 10¢, which is why miners chase cheap power.

The fastest payback at 5¢/kWh is the Goldshell XT-BOX: about $1,749 for the machine, $1.82 profit a day, so roughly 2.6 years if price and difficulty stayed where they are today. In practice difficulty usually rises as new machines ship, so real payback is longer; a falling coin price stretches it further, a rally shortens it. On a network this small, a few extra machines also push difficulty up fast.

The Goldshell XT-BOX, at 580 GH/s, mines about 1,640 XTM a day today, worth $2.30. That is 0.10% of the network's 554 TH/s. The whole network mints about 1.53 million XTM a day ($2,149), and every miner earns its share of hashrate.

On its own, one Goldshell XT-BOX would find a Tari (Minotari) block about once every 6 days on average, and luck can stretch that a long way. With blocks this frequent, even a single machine gets regular rewards; pools still smooth the payouts. FPPS and PPS+ pools pay a fixed amount per share (fees often 2-4%), PPLNS pools pay out only when the pool finds a block (often 0-2%, but lumpier).

Right now each block pays about 10,108 XTM including fees, with a block every 10 minutes on average, about 1.53 million XTM a day. About 6.93 billion XTM exist today and there is no hard cap.

SHA3x is Tari's algorithm, built on SHA3-256 (Keccak), mined on GPUs and ASICs. Tari splits its blocks between SHA3x and RandomX (merge-mined with Monero), so the two kinds of hardware never compete for the same blocks. We track 2 SHA3x machines; judge them by J/GH (efficiency) against your power price, then by price per GH, cooling type and the warranty and repair options where you will run them.

Not on its own. Tari (Minotari)'s whole network is about 554 TH/s, and one megawatt of Goldshell XT-BOX units would add 1.45 PH/s, several times the network. Difficulty would jump and the earnings shown here would melt away. Large sites point their machines at the biggest coin for the algorithm and treat small coins like Tari (Minotari) as a side bet for a few units.

Pick a machine for your power price (see the table above), then sort out power and cooling: most ASICs need 200-277 V at 10-30 A each, hydro models usually 380-415 V three-phase and a cooling loop, and air-cooled units are too loud for a home. Set up a Tari (Minotari) wallet, point the machine at a pool, and watch temperatures in the first days. If you don't have cheap power and space, hosting is the usual route: a host runs the machine for an all-in price per kWh. CryptoSites.io lists both powered sites and hosting.
