calculate_solo_mining_odds — Probability of a solo miner finding a block, computed as a Poisson process over live network difficulty and hashrate, plus the electricity cost of the attempt.
get_cost_of_production — Cost of Production (CoP) for one Proof of Work coin: the all-in electricity cost of mining one unit on the most efficient hardware BackPow tracks for that algorithm, compared against spot price.
get_coin_oracle — Current network state for one Proof of Work chain, measured by BackPow's stratum collector nodes: difficulty, derived network hashrate, block height, block reward, protocol block-time target versus the latest observed interval, and the source pool.
list_pow_coins — Paginated index of the Proof of Work networks BackPow tracks, with algorithm, network rate, collector status and canonical page URL.
get_hardware_benchmarks — Mining hardware matched to the coins it can mine, ranked by net USD per day at a given electricity rate.
