Solo Mining Odds Calculator
* Estimates assume static network conditions. Real-world difficulty, hashrate, and luck vary continuously.
What MineOdds is
MineOdds is a solo mining probability calculator for Proof-of-Work coins. It is built for miners who want realistic expectations before they commit hashrate. The focus is clarity: show what your hashrate means against the network right now, and translate that into understandable odds over multiple time horizons.
This is not a profit promise tool. It is a risk-and-variance tool. In solo mining, outcomes are naturally uneven: long dry periods are normal, and rare wins can happen unexpectedly. MineOdds helps you reason about that variance in concrete numbers.
What solo mining means
In solo mining, you are not sharing rewards with a pool for each found block. Instead, you mine on your own and only get paid when your own hashrate finds a valid block. The upside is full block reward ownership. The downside is very high variance: expected value may look similar to pooled mining over very long periods, but your payout timeline is far less predictable.
How to read the numbers on this page
The calculator combines your hashrate with live network metrics and computes probability outputs for block, hour, day, week, month, and year. If expected blocks in a window are below one, results are shown as 1 in X chance. If expected blocks are at least one, results are shown as X blocks on avg. to avoid misleading certainty.
Your hashrate: the hashrate you enter, including selected unit.
Network hashrate: estimated total hashrate of the selected network.
Block interval: average time between blocks on that chain.
Currency price: current USD price from configured price sources.
Block reward: current base reward per found block (coin units).
Block reward in USD: coin block reward converted using current price.
Chance per block/hour/day/week/month/year: probability to find at least one block inside that time window.
Hashrate needed for 50% in 30 days: estimated hashrate required for a one-in-two chance over 30 days under current conditions.
How to interpret results responsibly
A low chance does not mean impossible, and a high chance does not mean guaranteed. Probability is not a schedule. If your setup relies on predictable cash flow, solo mining may be structurally difficult. Use these values to compare scenarios, stress-test assumptions, and decide whether variance fits your risk profile.
Data quality and refresh behavior
MineOdds uses live chain/network sources per coin with cache windows to keep responses fast and stable. If an upstream provider is temporarily unavailable, stale-safe fallback behavior can be used instead of failing hard. Source and update timestamp are shown below the calculator output for transparency.
Supported coins
BTC, BSV, LTC, XMR, XEC, DOGE, BCH, ETC, RVN, DGB, ZEC, KAS, and DASH.
FAQ
Is this financial advice? No. This is an informational calculator.
Is this a guarantee? No. Solo mining is variance-driven and results are probabilistic.
How often are metrics updated? Per-coin cache windows are applied, then refreshed from live sources.
Can results change quickly? Yes. Network hashrate, difficulty dynamics, and market price can change continuously.
