YEC (Ycash) Solo Mining Calculator

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

About Ycash on EquihashZero

Ycash uses EquihashZero — memory-hard, hardware class: GPU.

BackPoW tracks 3 EquihashZero coins. See how EquihashZero solo mining works and which EquihashZero coin is easiest to mine right now →

How YEC 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 YEC block?

It depends on your hashrate relative to the YEC network hashrate (37.72 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 YEC solo calculator to get the exact expected time.

What is the YEC block reward?

The current YEC block reward is 1.48 YEC. BackPoW tracks the 24h block reward and values a discovered block in both YEC and USD using live market prices.

Is solo mining YEC (Ycash) profitable?

Solo mining YEC 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 YEC use?

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

What are the odds of finding a YEC 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 YEC the easiest EquihashZero coin to solo mine?

Not currently. Among the 3 EquihashZero coins tracked on BackPoW, YEC ranks #3 by how little solo hashrate a block takes; the easiest right now is Kerrigan-EqZero (KRG). BackPoW re-ranks them from live difficulty on every update.
