EquihashZero Mining Coins — Solo Mining Calculators
The easiest EquihashZero coin to solo mine right now is Kerrigan-EqZero (KRG) — a block roughly every under 1 min per GH/s of solo hashrate.
Every Proof of Work coin that uses the EquihashZero algorithm, in one place. Because they share an algorithm, the same EquihashZero-capable hardware can mine any of them — pick a coin to calculate your solo mining block probability, expected time-to-block and revenue with your own hashrate.
About the EquihashZero algorithm
EquihashZero is the Equihash (192,7) parameter set adopted by Ycash and related chains after they forked away from Zcash. The larger parameters raise memory requirements specifically to break the (200,9) Equihash ASICs, pushing mining back onto high-VRAM GPUs.

Frequently asked questions
What's the easiest EquihashZero coin to solo mine right now?
Kerrigan-EqZero (KRG) — a block roughly every under 1 min per GH/s of solo hashrate. This ranks EquihashZero coins by how much solo hashrate it takes to find one block, recalculated from live network difficulty on every update.
How long would a GeForce RTX 3090 take to solo mine a Kerrigan-EqZero block?
About one block every 3 min on average at 76.00 H/s, using Kerrigan-EqZero's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean.
What hardware mines EquihashZero?
EquihashZero coins are mined with the GPUs or CPUs listed in the BackPoW hardware database, ranked below by energy efficiency. Open any coin to see its estimated hashrate per device.
Can I solo mine EquihashZero coins?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Poisson-based solo block-hit probability for every EquihashZero coin from live network hashrate, so you can see your realistic chance of finding a block.
