Decred (DCR) Solo Mining Calculator
Estimate how long it takes to solo mine a block of Decred (DCR) with your own hardware. BackPoW combines the live Decred 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 DCR and USD.

How Decred solo mining odds are calculated
Solo mining is memoryless: every hash is an independent lottery ticket, so the wait for a block follows an exponential distribution rather than a fixed schedule. On average a block takes T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the probability of finding at least one within a window t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). BackPoW uses this Poisson relation instead of a naive linear estimate.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to solo mine one Decred block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the Decred network hashrate (6.25 TH/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 Decred solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the Decred block reward?
The current Decred block reward is 0.051004 DCR. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both DCR and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining Decred profitable?
Solo mining Decred 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 Decred use?
Decred uses the Blake3DCR proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Blake3DCR-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database.
What are the odds of finding a Decred 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 Decred solo mining pools?
You can compare all tracked Decred solo mining pools, fee structures, stratum URLs, and 7-day average hashrates in the BackPoW Decred Solo Pools directory at /solo-pools/Decred.
