Hey everyone,
It looks like solochance.com, which I’ve used before, is no longer up.
Are there any other sites or calculators that show the chances of hitting a block while solo mining and let you input your hashpower?
Appreciate any help!

you can ball park it using viabtc.com
they pay 0.00000432 btc a th
they is a 97% rate so
0.00000432/.97 = 0.000004453 btc a th
a block is about 6.26 btc
6.26/0.000004453 = 1405793 to 1 for the next block if you have 1 th since there are around 144 blocks in a day
1405793/144 = 9762 to one in the next day for 1 th this is close about 1 or 2% of true for 1th
there are more precise formulas which have been posted on this thread
You can do it yourself in any Linux device, just create a file called get_prob.sh with this content:
Make it executable with:
And then just run it with the miner hashing power in GH/s as an argument. For example, for a single Compac F USB stick miner which runs at around 300 GH/s:

I tried to search looking for an alternative tool for solochance it seems I can't find the same site that calculates the same as solochance.com but you can try this one below
- https://bits.media/calculator/bitcoin/
Just translate it into English and scroll down and check "Block time in solo mode" it includes probability and time.
Or if you visit my discord there's a pinned link to my pool calculator that also correctly tells you the solo chance of any hash rate you enter:

Kano,
This is perfect!
Thank you.
Solochance.com will be back up online soon. It's nice to know people were using it.
I used it all the time.
I can offer free hosting to you on my vps server if you like just let me know.
Thanks man, it's back for now but I'll keep your offer in mind if I have future issues. Any requests or comments please let me know in my thread here
