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

About Sia on Sia
Sia uses Sia — non-memory-hard, hardware class: ASIC-dominated.
BackPoW tracks 2 Sia coins. See how Sia solo mining works and which Sia coin is easiest to mine right now →
How SC solo mining odds are calculated
Each hash is an independent attempt, so block discovery is memoryless and follows an exponential distribution. The average time to a block is T = network_hashrate ÷ your_hashrate × block_time. The chance of hitting at least one block within a period t is then given by the Poisson relation P = 1 − e^(−t/T) — the realistic probability, not a misleading linear one.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to solo mine one SC block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the SC network hashrate (12.22 PH/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 SC solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the SC block reward?
The current SC block reward is 30000 SC. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both SC and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining SC (Sia) profitable?
Solo mining SC 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 SC use?
SC (Sia) uses the Sia proof-of-work algorithm. You can mine it with any Sia-capable ASIC, GPU or CPU listed in the BackPoW hardware database. Sia is a asic-dominated algorithm, which decides what hardware stays competitive.
What are the odds of finding a SC 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 SC the easiest Sia coin to solo mine?
Not currently. Among the 2 Sia coins tracked on BackPoW, SC ranks #2 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is ScPrime (SCP). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
