KMD (Komodo) Solo Mining Calculator

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

About Komodo on Equihash

Komodo uses Equihash — memory-hard, hardware class: ASIC / GPU.

BackPoW tracks 5 Equihash coins. See how Equihash solo mining works and which Equihash coin is easiest to mine right now →

How KMD solo mining odds are calculated

Because each hash succeeds independently, finding a block is a Poisson process — there is no 'due' block, only an average rate. The mean time between blocks is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time, and the realistic chance of at least one block over a period t is P = 1 − e^(−t/T). That is why a longer run raises your odds but never guarantees a block.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to solo mine one KMD block?

It depends on your hashrate relative to the KMD network hashrate (286.78 KH/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 KMD solo calculator to get the exact expected time.

What is the KMD block reward?

The current KMD block reward is 1 KMD. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both KMD and USD using live market prices.

Is solo mining KMD (Komodo) profitable?

Solo mining KMD 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 KMD use?

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

What are the odds of finding a KMD 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 KMD the easiest Equihash coin to solo mine?

Yes. Of the 5 Equihash coins tracked on BackPoW, KMD currently needs the least solo hashrate to find a block, making it the easiest Equihash coin to solo mine right now. This is recalculated from live network difficulty on every update.
