Luckycoin Network Hashrate
What is Luckycoin's hashrate?
Hashrate is the total number of scrypt hash attempts pointed at Luckycoin each second, shown here in TH/s (terahashes per second, 10¹² hashes/s). Luckycoin targets one block every 60 seconds, so hashrate decides how the chain's reward stream is divided among the machines doing the work — and on this chain that stream is itself random, with bonus blocks baked into the rules since 2013, which is one more reason this site quotes measured work and never a current-reward figure.
The headline number is computed from our own node's headers: the total work the chain accumulated over the last day — the sum of difficulty × 2³² per block — divided by the elapsed seconds. That exact recipe ships inside the API response itself, next to the number.
Whose hashrate is this, really?
Almost none of it is Luckycoin-only hardware. LKY is merge-mined under Litecoin parent pools: the scrypt work you see here was done for Litecoin, and Luckycoin accepts it as proof-of-work through AuxPoW — a capability the chain only gained with its V3 upgrade in late 2024. The number above is the slice of the Litecoin parent-pool basket pointed at LKY — compare it against LTC's own hashrate to see how big that slice is.
For once we don't have to describe that basket blind. Our node records the parent coinbase of every AuxPoW header it accepts, and the first day of capture (1,173 blocks, 2026-10-02 to 2026-10-03) read F2Pool 540, AntPool 356, ku.pool 147, LitecoinPool.org 48 — dated counts, from our own archive. The consequence still holds and is worth saying plainly: basket add/drop decisions, not LKY-side miner economics, move this number. When a parent pool folds LKY into its merge roster — or drops it — this chain's hashrate steps overnight while the machines themselves never changed. That is exactly the caveat in the box above, and it is why ribbon signals on a cross read pool-roster behavior rather than miner capitulation in the Bitcoin sense.
How we measure it — and why we don't borrow numbers
headline estimate = total work over the last day ÷ elapsed seconds (the API recipe, from our own headers)
Nobody publishes a Luckycoin hashrate series — the chain's primary explorer didn't even answer when we checked on 2026-10-03 — and we would not quote one anyway. Our Luckycoin node is synced block-by-block from genesis (timestamped 2013-05-22 in our copy) over the coin's P2P network, no snapshots, no third-party feeds, and integrity seals ride every API response. The "Implied hashrate" tile applies the first formula to the live difficulty as a cross-check on the day average; on a chain that retargets every block (DigiShield, Dogecoin-1.14 class), the two legitimately diverge for a while whenever difficulty has just moved.
Why it matters for miners
Your expected share of this chain's reward stream equals your hashrate divided by network hashrate. But on a merge-mined chain you don't point a rig at LKY directly — you point a scrypt machine at a pool that carries it (ViaBTC, F2Pool, Binance Pool, Antpool, EMCD or Mining-Dutch) and LKY arrives as a kicker on your LTC payouts, for hashes you were already doing. Pool carriage is unusually broad for the chain’s size — Dogecoin’s direct ancestor gets seats smaller coins don’t.
FAQ
- Why does Luckycoin's hashrate move with Litecoin pools?
- Because the work is not LKY-side work. Luckycoin is merge-mined (AuxPoW) under Litecoin parent pools, so the hashrate pointed at this chain is whatever slice of the Litecoin fleet those pools' merge rosters aim at it. Our own node's first day of AuxPoW-header capture (2026-10-02 to 2026-10-03) attributed LKY blocks to F2Pool, AntPool, ku.pool and LitecoinPool.org among others — when any such pool adds or drops LKY, this number moves, and no LKY-side miner decided anything.
- What is merged mining (AuxPoW)?
- One round of hashing, two chains. A Litecoin miner embeds a commitment to a Luckycoin block in its LTC work; a solution good enough for Luckycoin's difficulty counts on the Luckycoin chain via AuxPoW, at zero extra electricity. Luckycoin only gained this with its V3 upgrade in late 2024 — AntPool launched LKY merged mining on 2024-12-06 and ViaBTC on 2024-12-10. That carriage, not standalone LKY rigs, is where virtually all LKY blocks come from.
- Can LKY's hashrate change when no miner touched LKY?
- Yes — and that is the single most important thing to understand about this number. A parent pool adding LKY to its merge roster, or dropping it, moves this chain's hashrate overnight while every individual machine keeps doing exactly what it did yesterday. Basket add/drop decisions are precisely what the ribbon indicators on the LKY dashboard are reading.
- Where is the historical chart?
- No public Luckycoin hashrate history series exists anywhere, and we do not draw charts from data we do not have. BasinTwo's own node has archived every LKY block forward since 2026-10-02; the chart ships the day our archive serves the series.
