ETHW (EthereumPoW) Solo Mining Calculator

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

About EthereumPoW on Ethash

EthereumPoW uses Ethash — memory-hard, hardware class: GPU.

BackPoW tracks 4 Ethash coins. See how Ethash solo mining works and which Ethash coin is easiest to mine right now →

How ETHW 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 ETHW block?

It depends on your hashrate relative to the ETHW network hashrate (1.95 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 ETHW solo calculator to get the exact expected time.

What is the ETHW block reward?

The current ETHW block reward is 2 ETHW. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both ETHW and USD using live market prices.

Is solo mining ETHW (EthereumPoW) profitable?

Solo mining ETHW 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 ETHW use?

ETHW (EthereumPoW) uses the Ethash proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Ethash-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database. Ethash is a gpu algorithm, which decides what hardware stays competitive.

What are the odds of finding a ETHW 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 ETHW the easiest Ethash coin to solo mine?

Not currently. Among the 4 Ethash coins tracked on BackPoW, ETHW ranks #4 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is QuarkChain (QKC). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
