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

How Ergo 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 Ergo block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the Ergo network hashrate (838.46 GH/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 Ergo solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the Ergo block reward?
The current Ergo block reward is 4.12 ERG. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both ERG and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining Ergo profitable?
Solo mining Ergo 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 Ergo use?
Ergo uses the Autolykos proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Autolykos-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database.
What are the odds of finding a Ergo 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.
