Catcoin (CAT) Solo Mining Calculator

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

About Catcoin on Scrypt

Catcoin uses Scrypt — memory-hard, hardware class: ASIC-dominated.

BackPoW tracks 15 Scrypt coins. See how Scrypt solo mining works and which Scrypt coin is easiest to mine right now →

How Catcoin 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 Catcoin block?

It depends on your hashrate relative to the Catcoin network hashrate (1.29 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 Catcoin solo calculator to get the exact expected time.

What is the Catcoin block reward?

The current Catcoin block reward is 25 CAT. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both CAT and USD using live market prices.

Is solo mining Catcoin profitable?

Solo mining Catcoin 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 Catcoin use?

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

What are the odds of finding a Catcoin 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 Catcoin the easiest Scrypt coin to solo mine?

Not currently. Among the 15 Scrypt coins tracked on BackPoW, Catcoin ranks #6 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is Verge-Scrypt (XVG). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
