## About Lyra2REv2 Architecture & Consensus Mechanics

Lyra2REv2 is a chained multi-hash algorithm (combining Blake, Keccak, Cubehash, Lyra2, Skein and BMW) used by Monacoin, with the memory-hard Lyra2 stage at its core. It began as a GPU-friendly, ASIC-resistant design, though dedicated Lyra2REv2 ASICs did eventually appear.

## Lyra2REv2 Solo Mining Feasibility & Poisson Mechanics

- **Easiest Coin to Solo Mine**: Verge-Lyra2REv2 (XVG) — a block roughly every under 1 min per GH/s of solo hashrate.
- **Representative Reference Miner**: [FusionSilicon X1](https://backpow.com/hardware/fusionsilicon-x1) (ASIC) — Hashrate: `12.98 GH/s`, Power: `1100 W`, Efficiency: `11.80 MH/s per W`.
- **Expected Time to Block (FusionSilicon X1 on Verge-Lyra2REv2)**: ~under 1 min on average (Poisson arrival rate).

### Poisson Distribution Model for Solo Miners

In Proof of Work solo mining, block generation is an uncorrelated, memoryless Poisson process. Having mined for a week without finding a block does not increase the probability of finding one on the next hash.

1. **Expected Time-to-Block (Mean Duration)**:
   `E[T] = (H_net / H_user) * T_block` (seconds)
2. **Poisson Block Arrival Probability over duration t**:
   `P(k >= 1) = 1 - exp(-(H_user / H_net) * (t / T_block))`
3. **Solo Block Capture**:
   Solo miners receive 100% of the network block subsidy plus all transaction fees included in the block, minus any nominal pool fee (0% to 1.5%), with zero round-sharing pool variance dampening.

## Frequently Asked Questions about Lyra2REv2 Mining

### What is the easiest Lyra2REv2 coin to solo mine right now?

Verge-Lyra2REv2 (XVG) — a block roughly every under 1 min per GH/s of solo hashrate. This ranks Lyra2REv2 coins by how much solo hashrate it takes to find one block, recalculated from live network difficulty on every build update.

### How long would a FusionSilicon X1 take to solo mine a Verge-Lyra2REv2 block?

About one block every under 1 min on average at 12.98 GH/s, using Verge-Lyra2REv2's live network hashrate. Real results follow a Poisson distribution around this mean.

### What hardware mines Lyra2REv2?

Lyra2REv2 coins are mined with ASICs cataloged in the BackPow hardware database, ranked by energy efficiency (hashrate per Watt). Open any coin or device datasheet to see exact telemetry.

### Can I solo mine Lyra2REv2 coins?

Yes. BackPow computes the Poisson-based solo block-hit probability for every Lyra2REv2 coin from live network difficulty and hashrate, giving miners realistic odds rather than averages.
