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

About QuarkChain on Ethash
QuarkChain 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 →
QuarkChain 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 QuarkChain (QKC) solo mining pools directory.
How QuarkChain 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 QuarkChain block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the QuarkChain network hashrate (23.47 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 QuarkChain solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the QuarkChain block reward?
The current QuarkChain block reward is 1.33 QKC. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both QKC and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining QuarkChain profitable?
Solo mining QuarkChain 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 QuarkChain use?
QuarkChain 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 QuarkChain 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 QuarkChain the easiest Ethash coin to solo mine?
Yes. Of the 3 Ethash coins tracked on BackPoW, QuarkChain currently needs the least solo hashrate to find a block, making it the easiest Ethash coin to solo mine right now. This is recalculated from live network difficulty on every update.
Where can I find QuarkChain solo mining pools?
You can compare all tracked QuarkChain solo mining pools, fee structures, stratum URLs, and 7-day average hashrates in the BackPoW QuarkChain Solo Pools directory at /solo-pools/QuarkChain.
