Sia Mining Coins — Solo Mining Calculators
The easiest Sia coin to solo mine right now is ScPrime (SCP) — a block roughly every 57.6 years per GH/s of solo hashrate.
Every Proof of Work coin that uses the Sia algorithm, in one place. Because they share an algorithm, the same Sia-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 Sia algorithm
Sia's proof-of-work uses Blake2b, a fast cryptographic hash that is not memory-hard, so throughput dominates. Efficient Blake2b ASICs (from vendors like Goldshell and Bitmain) long ago displaced GPUs on Siacoin and ScPrime.
Hardware class: ASIC-dominated · Memory-hard: No

Frequently asked questions
What's the easiest Sia coin to solo mine right now?
ScPrime (SCP) — a block roughly every 57.6 years per GH/s of solo hashrate. This ranks Sia coins by how much solo hashrate it takes to find one block, recalculated from live network difficulty on every update.
How long would a Bitmain Antminer DR7 take to solo mine a ScPrime block?
About one block every 4.0 h on average at 127.17 TH/s, using ScPrime's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean.
What hardware mines Sia?
Sia coins are mined with the ASICs 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 Sia coins?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Poisson-based solo block-hit probability for every Sia coin from live network hashrate, so you can see your realistic chance of finding a block.
