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

About EthereumClassic on Etchash
EthereumClassic uses Etchash — memory-hard, hardware class: GPU.
BackPoW tracks 2 Etchash coins. See how Etchash solo mining works and which Etchash coin is easiest to mine right now →

How EthereumClassic solo mining odds are calculated
Because each hash succeeds independently, finding a block is a Poisson process — there is no 'due' block, only an average rate. The mean time between blocks is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the realistic chance of at least one block over a period t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). That is why a longer run raises your odds but never guarantees a block.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to solo mine one EthereumClassic block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the EthereumClassic network hashrate (150.84 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 EthereumClassic solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the EthereumClassic block reward?
The current EthereumClassic block reward is 1.59 ETC. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both ETC and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining EthereumClassic profitable?
Solo mining EthereumClassic 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 EthereumClassic use?
EthereumClassic uses the Etchash proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Etchash-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database. Etchash is a gpu algorithm, which decides what hardware stays competitive.
What are the odds of finding a EthereumClassic 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.
Is EthereumClassic the easiest Etchash coin to solo mine?
Not currently. Among the 2 Etchash coins tracked on BackPoW, EthereumClassic ranks #2 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is Etica (Etchash) (EGAZ). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
Where can I find EthereumClassic solo mining pools?
You can compare all tracked EthereumClassic solo mining pools, fee structures, stratum URLs, and 7-day average hashrates in the BackPoW EthereumClassic Solo Pools directory at /solo-pools/EthereumClassic.
