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

How MONA 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 MONA block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the MONA network hashrate (129.69 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 MONA solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the MONA block reward?
The current MONA block reward is 6.25 MONA. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both MONA and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining MONA (Monacoin) profitable?
Solo mining MONA 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 MONA use?
MONA (Monacoin) uses the Lyra2REv2 proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Lyra2REv2-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database. Lyra2REv2 is a gpu / asic algorithm, which decides what hardware stays competitive.
What are the odds of finding a MONA 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 MONA the easiest Lyra2REv2 coin to solo mine?
Not currently. Among the 2 Lyra2REv2 coins tracked on BackPoW, MONA ranks #2 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is Verge-Lyra2REv2 (XVG). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
