Bankroll & Variance Risk Simulator
Solo mining block discovery follows a memoryless Poisson distribution. While the average wait is 3 s, real-world dispersion ranges across 5% and 50% quantiles:
- Lucky streak (5% Odds): Block within ~0 s (1-in-20 fastest discovery, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Median expectation (50% Odds): Block within ~2 s (Nominal median, power cost: ~0 USD)
- Bad luck streak (5% Odds): Can stretch up to ~8 s (1-in-20 extended dry spell, power cost: ~0 USD)
High Variance Alert: In a 1-in-20 severe drought (~8 s), cumulative electricity burned (~0 USD) will exceed the block reward value (0 USD). Pool mining is recommended for risk-averse operators.

|---|---|---|---|
| Bitmain Antminer L7 8050Mh | 8.07 GH/s | 3 s | 100.00% |
How the odds have moved
Verge-Scrypt's network hashrate fell 100% since 2026-09-22, from 42.85 GH/s to 166.91 MH/s — so the same rig is now 100% more likely to find a block.
Where to point a Bitmain Antminer L7 9050Mh at Verge-Scrypt
Solo mining still runs through a solo pool: it handles the block template and pays the full reward to whoever finds the block. BackPoW tracks 1 solo pool for Verge-Scrypt with their stratum endpoints, fees, and pool hashrates — see Verge-Scrypt solo mining pools:

How the 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. For this pair: daily chance 100.00%, yearly chance 100.00%.
