Monero (XMR) Solo Mining Calculator

Estimate how long it takes to solo mine a block of Monero (XMR) with your own hardware. BackPoW combines the live Monero 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 XMR and USD.

About Monero on RandomX

Monero uses RandomX — memory-hard, hardware class: CPU.

BackPoW tracks 7 RandomX coins. See how RandomX solo mining works and which RandomX coin is easiest to mine right now →

Monero 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 Monero (XMR) solo mining pools directory.

How Monero 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 Monero block?

It depends on your hashrate relative to the Monero network hashrate (6.45 GH/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 Monero solo calculator to get the exact expected time.

What is the Monero block reward?

The current Monero block reward is 0.6 XMR. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both XMR and USD using live market prices.

Is solo mining Monero profitable?

Solo mining Monero 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 Monero use?

Monero uses the RandomX proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any RandomX-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database. RandomX is a cpu algorithm, which decides what hardware stays competitive.

What are the odds of finding a Monero 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 Monero the easiest RandomX coin to solo mine?

Not currently. Among the 7 RandomX coins tracked on BackPoW, Monero ranks #7 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is Dagger (XDAG). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.

Where can I find Monero solo mining pools?

You can compare all tracked Monero solo mining pools, fee structures, stratum URLs, and 7-day average hashrates in the BackPoW Monero Solo Pools directory at /solo-pools/Monero.
