eCash (XEC) Solo Mining Calculator

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

About eCash on SHA-256

eCash uses SHA-256 — non-memory-hard, hardware class: ASIC-dominated.

BackPoW tracks 9 SHA-256 coins. See how SHA-256 solo mining works and which SHA-256 coin is easiest to mine right now →

How eCash 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 eCash block?

It depends on your hashrate relative to the eCash network hashrate (49.46 PH/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 eCash solo calculator to get the exact expected time.

What is the eCash block reward?

The current eCash block reward is 1.8125e+06 XEC. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both XEC and USD using live market prices.

Is solo mining eCash profitable?

Solo mining eCash 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 eCash use?

eCash uses the SHA-256 proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any SHA-256-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database. SHA-256 is a asic-dominated algorithm, which decides what hardware stays competitive.

What are the odds of finding a eCash 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 eCash the easiest SHA-256 coin to solo mine?

Not currently. Among the 9 SHA-256 coins tracked on BackPoW, eCash ranks #7 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is Quai-SHA (QUAI). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.

Where can I find eCash solo mining pools?

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