Halcyon (HAL) Solo Mining Calculator

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

About Halcyon on NeoScrypt

Halcyon uses NeoScrypt — memory-hard, hardware class: GPU.

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

How Halcyon 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 Halcyon block?

It depends on your hashrate relative to the Halcyon network hashrate (3.07 MH/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 Halcyon solo calculator to get the exact expected time.

What is the Halcyon block reward?

The current Halcyon block reward is 5 HAL. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both HAL and USD using live market prices.

Is solo mining Halcyon profitable?

Solo mining Halcyon 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 Halcyon use?

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

What are the odds of finding a Halcyon 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 Halcyon the easiest NeoScrypt coin to solo mine?

Not currently. Among the 4 NeoScrypt coins tracked on BackPoW, Halcyon ranks #3 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is 01coin (ZOC). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
