Mining Algos — Browse PoW Coins by Algorithm
BackPow groups every Proof of Work coin by its mining algorithm, so you can compare all the coins your ASIC, GPU or CPU can mine in one place and calculate solo block chances for each.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mining algorithm?
A proof-of-work mining algorithm (like SHA-256, Scrypt or RandomX) defines the hash function miners compute. Coins sharing an algorithm can be mined with the same hardware.
Which mining algorithm is most profitable?
It depends on your hardware and current coin prices. Browse an algorithm hub to compare every coin's network hashrate and block reward, then open a coin for live profitability.
