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

How DCR 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 DCR block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the DCR network hashrate (24.54 TH/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 DCR solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the DCR block reward?
The current DCR block reward is 0.053075 DCR. BackPow tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both DCR and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining DCR (Decred) profitable?
Solo mining DCR 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 DCR use?
DCR (Decred) uses the Blake3DCR proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Blake3DCR-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPow hardware database.
What are the odds of finding a DCR 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.
