Aeternity (AE) Solo Mining Calculator
Estimate how long it takes to solo mine a block of Aeternity (AE) with your own hardware. BackPoW combines the live Aeternity network difficulty with your hashrate to compute the expected block time, the cumulative probability of finding a block over day, month and year, and the expected mining revenue in AE and USD.

How Aeternity solo mining odds are calculated
Each hash is an independent attempt, so block discovery is memoryless and follows an exponential distribution. The average time to a block is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time. The chance of hitting at least one block within a period t is then given by the Poisson relation P = 1 − e^(−t/T) — the realistic probability, not a misleading linear one.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to solo mine one Aeternity block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the Aeternity network hashrate (2.72 KH/s). Because hashing is memoryless, the time to find a block follows an exponential distribution: on average T = network_hashrate / your_hashrate × block_time. Enter your hashrate in the BackPoW Aeternity solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the Aeternity block reward?
The current Aeternity block reward is 37 AE. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both AE and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining Aeternity profitable?
Solo mining Aeternity profitability depends on your hashrate, electricity cost and pool fees versus the block reward value and how often you expect to find a block. The BackPoW calculator shows daily, monthly and yearly gross revenue and net profit so you can decide.
What algorithm does Aeternity use?
Aeternity uses the CuckooCycle proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any CuckooCycle-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database.
What are the odds of finding a Aeternity block?
BackPoW models the cumulative probability of finding at least one block over a day, week, month or year with the Poisson formula P = 1 − e^(−t/T), giving a realistic chance instead of a naive linear estimate.
Where can I find Aeternity solo mining pools?
You can compare all tracked Aeternity solo mining pools, fee structures, stratum URLs, and 7-day average hashrates in the BackPoW Aeternity Solo Pools directory at /solo-pools/Aeternity.
