Etchash Mining Coins — Solo Mining Calculators
The easiest Etchash coin to solo mine right now is Etica (Etchash) (EGAZ) — a block roughly every 3 min per GH/s of solo hashrate.
Every Proof of Work coin that uses the Etchash algorithm, in one place. Because they share an algorithm, the same Etchash-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 Etchash algorithm
Etchash (the 'Thanos' upgrade) is Ethereum Classic's modified Ethash, tuned so the DAG grows more slowly and stays within reach of smaller-memory GPUs. It is memory-hard and GPU-mined, closely related to Ethash but with its own epoch schedule.
Hardware class: GPU · Memory-hard: Yes

Frequently asked questions
What's the easiest Etchash coin to solo mine right now?
Etica (Etchash) (EGAZ) — a block roughly every 3 min per GH/s of solo hashrate. This ranks Etchash 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 5080 take to solo mine a Etica (Etchash) block?
About one block every 29 min on average at 119.69 MH/s, using Etica (Etchash)'s live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean.
What hardware mines Etchash?
Etchash coins are mined with the ASICs or GPUs 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 Etchash coins?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Poisson-based solo block-hit probability for every Etchash coin from live network hashrate, so you can see your realistic chance of finding a block.
