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

About EthereumPoW on Ethash
EthereumPoW uses Ethash — memory-hard, hardware class: GPU.
BackPoW tracks 3 Ethash coins. See how Ethash solo mining works and which Ethash coin is easiest to mine right now →
EthereumPoW solo mining pools & stratum connections
Connecting an ASIC, GPU rig, or home lottery miner? Compare stratum fees, 7-day average hashrates, and solo winning probabilities across all tracked pools in the EthereumPoW (ETHW) solo mining pools directory.
How EthereumPoW 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 EthereumPoW block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the EthereumPoW network hashrate (2.09 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 EthereumPoW solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the EthereumPoW block reward?
The current EthereumPoW block reward is 2.02 ETHW. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both ETHW and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining EthereumPoW profitable?
Solo mining EthereumPoW 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 EthereumPoW use?
EthereumPoW uses the Ethash proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Ethash-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database. Ethash is a gpu algorithm, which decides what hardware stays competitive.
What are the odds of finding a EthereumPoW 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 EthereumPoW the easiest Ethash coin to solo mine?
Not currently. Among the 3 Ethash coins tracked on BackPoW, EthereumPoW ranks #3 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is QuarkChain (QKC). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
Where can I find EthereumPoW solo mining pools?
You can compare all tracked EthereumPoW solo mining pools, fee structures, stratum URLs, and 7-day average hashrates in the BackPoW EthereumPoW Solo Pools directory at /solo-pools/EthereumPoW.
