ProgPowZ Mining Coins — Solo Mining Calculators
The easiest ProgPowZ coin to solo mine right now is Nirmata (NQT) — a block roughly every under 1 min per GH/s of solo hashrate.
Every Proof of Work coin that uses the ProgPowZ algorithm, in one place. Because they share an algorithm, the same ProgPowZ-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 ProgPowZ algorithm
ProgPowZ is Zano's variant of ProgPoW, a memory-hard GPU algorithm built on Ethash with polymorphic instructions that change deterministically to frustrate ASIC design. It is explicitly ASIC-resistant and mineable on both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards.

Frequently asked questions
What's the easiest ProgPowZ coin to solo mine right now?
Nirmata (NQT) — a block roughly every under 1 min per GH/s of solo hashrate. This ranks ProgPowZ 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 5090 take to solo mine a Nirmata block?
About one block every 4 min on average at 84.78 MH/s, using Nirmata's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean.
What hardware mines ProgPowZ?
ProgPowZ 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 ProgPowZ coins?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Poisson-based solo block-hit probability for every ProgPowZ coin from live network hashrate, so you can see your realistic chance of finding a block.
