I Will Solo ⛏️
Zcash Calculator
Calculate your chances of finding a Zcash block as a solo miner. Privacy-focused cryptocurrency with shielded transactions.
About This Tool
I Will Solo is an open tool for solo Zcash miners who want to understand their odds of hitting a block based on their hashrate. Zcash uses the Equihash algorithm and offers optional privacy features through zero-knowledge proofs.
How It Works
- Select your hashrate unit (e.g. H, KH, MH, GH).
- Input your actual hashrate.
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated solo mining odds.
Assumptions & Notes
- Algorithm: Equihash
- Network hashrate: ~13.78 GH/s
- Block time: ~75 seconds
- Network hashrate based on Equihash algorithm.
- Results are educational, not financial advice.
- Solo mining is rare and high-risk — but possible.
It's hard, but not impossible 🎯
Finding a Zcash block with a small hashrate is extremely rare — but it's not impossible. Just like winning the lottery or flipping ten heads in a row, statistically improbable events do happen. Every day, someone somewhere gets lucky. Maybe that someone could be you. ⛏️
