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

About ScPrime on Sia
ScPrime 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 ScPrime 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 ScPrime block?
It depends on your hashrate relative to the ScPrime network hashrate (3.07 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 ScPrime solo calculator to get the exact expected time.
What is the ScPrime block reward?
The current ScPrime block reward is 45 SCP. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both SCP and USD using live market prices.
Is solo mining ScPrime profitable?
Solo mining ScPrime 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 ScPrime use?
ScPrime 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 ScPrime 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 ScPrime the easiest Sia coin to solo mine?
Yes. Of the 2 Sia coins tracked on BackPoW, ScPrime currently needs the least solo hashrate to find a block, making it the easiest Sia coin to solo mine right now. This is recalculated from live network difficulty on every update.
