Ifyou have many miners, then you can multiply the hash rate and power consumption by the number of miners you have. Or just fill the form in for one miner, and then multiply that number by the number of miners you have.
It is important to understand the constantly changing dynamics that play into mining profitability, especially before you invest your hard-earned money. Nevertheless, a proper passive income can be generated if you play your cards right. Let's explore the factors that you need to consider before you buy mining hardware:
The Bitcoin price is rising at slightly less than 0.3403% per day on average over the past year. We suggest you enter a custom Bitcoin price into our calculator based on what you expect the average price to be over the next year.
In case you were not aware, the vast majority of mining operations are in China, primarily because of cheap electricity (more on that later.) Since ASICs are expensive, many average consumers do not have the capital to invest.
ASICs' impact on Bitcoin aside, it is important to determine your ROI timeline before investing. Some hardware might not pay itself off at all. The additional factors below are largely responsible for determining your ROI period.
50 BTC per block may seem high, but it is important to consider the price of Bitcoin at that time was much less than it is today. As the Bitcoin block reward continues to halve, the value of Bitcoin is predicted to increase. So far, that trend has remained true.
First, the amount of newly minted BTC (often referred to as coinbase, not to be confused with the Coinbase exchange) halved to 25 BTC, and the current coinbase reward is 12.5 BTC. Eventually, there will be a circulating supply of 21 million BTC, and coinbase rewards will cease to exist.
Bitcoin transaction fees are issued to miners as an incentive to continue validating the network. By the time 21 million BTC has been minted, transaction volume on the network will have increased significantly and miners' profitability will remain roughly the same.
The higher the hash rate of an individual Bitcoin mining machine, the more bitcoin that machine will mine. Typically, a higher hash rate requires more energy, but that is not always the case. Some machines have the same hash rate but require different amounts of energy to power. That's because one may be newer and therefore more efficient with its power consumption.
Difficulty is a variable that determines how hard it is for a miner to find a block. It is adjusted up and down algorithmically by the Bitcoin network based on the network-wide hash rate - the sum of all miners' hash rates on the entire network.
Disclosure: Mining metrics are calculated based on a network hash rate of 346,968,946,852 GH/s and using a BTC - USD exchange rate of 1 BTC = $ 26,026.50. These figures vary based on the total network hash rate and on the BTC to USD conversion rate. The block reward is fixed at 6.25 BTC. Future block reward and hash rate changes are not taken into account. The average block time used in the calculation is 599 seconds. The electricity price used in generating these metrics is $ 0.12 per kWh. Network hash rate varies over time, this is just an estimation based on current values.
The latest version of the Bitcoin mining calculator makes it simple and easy to quickly calculate Bitcoin mining profits by adjusting the mining hashrate values or by selecting one of the Bitcoin mining hardware devices from the ASIC Bitcoin miners list.
The Bitcoin mining information is updated continually with the current block mining information. This information is used as the default inputs for the BTC mining calculator along with the default hashrate and wattage specs from the best ASIC Bitcoin miner.
With this information and our backend hashrate calculator, you can calculate your BTC mining profits - providing valuable and strategic profitability information allowing you as the miner to make better informed decisions about Bitcoin mining.
Along with the Bitcoin mining profitability, the list of top 5 ASIC Bitcoin miners is updated frequently. A Bitcoin miner is also referred to as a Bitcoin mining rig, or a Bitcoin mining hardware device, or a Bitcoin mining machine, but we simply call them miners, or more specifically, Bitcoin miners.
Each BTC mining calculator input has been preloaded with the best Bitcoin mining hardware hashrate and energy consumption in watts, average electricity costs as well as the current Bitcoin price, Bitcoin block reward, and Bitcoin difficulty.
In the very early days (2009-2011) you could mine Bitcoin with a CPU, then mining software was created to utilize the computing power of a GPU, then came FPGAs, and in 2013 the first ASIC Bitcoin mining devices became available.
The reward is calculated regarding the current mining difficulty, block reward, and current price. The data is provided by CoinSRC and is gathered through official coin sources. The data from pools (F2Pool, Poolin, Ezil, HiveOn, NiceHash, Mining Pool Hub, zpool, Zergpool, and others) is gathered through the APIs that these pools provide.
We currently don't offer an option for 24h average difficulty because the main purpose of this mining calculator is to see the real-time state of the coins and use it in our software. Also, calculating reward regarding the 24h average difficulty cannot be compared to the results that are provided by multi-algo pools as it wouldn't be fair. However, you can compare results of median and average rewards for different time periods (3h, 6h, 12h, 1d, and 3d).
We have listed the majority of algorithms that are supported with the mining clients you can find in the minerstat software (msOS and Windows node) and there is a coin calculation or multi-algo pool available for at least one coin in this algorithm.
Besides software and different collections (coins, algorithms, hardware, etc.), minerstat also offers different features that will help you when setting up your perfect mining setup. One of these features that is available for free to all of our users is a benchmark that can be conducted to our sand-box stratum pools over
pool.ms. If you don't have time to perform the benchmark, you can always check estimations of hash rate and power consumptions that are available on the hardware pages.
Profit switch is an advanced feature that we offer for free to all of our users. It allows you to enter the coins and multi-algo pools between which you want to switch and fully customize the switching event (minimum difference, minimum mining time, reward penalties, earnings drop triggers, and take into account pool fees and electricity costs).
Profit switch is available for any type of workers. This means that it works on any hardware that is supported on minerstat: Nvidia GPUs, AMD GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs (including but not limited to Antminer, Whatsminer, AvalonMiner, Ebang, Dayun, Innosilicon, Obelisk, BlackMiner).
Currently, there are more than 250 coins in the mining calculator, almost 10 merged mining options and more than 1 multi-algo pool options. We are trying to add support for any coin that our clients are mining, as long as data on the coin is publicly available. From the more popular coins, we support: Bitcoin mining calculator, Ethereum mining calculator, Monero mining calculator, Dash mining calculator, Litecoin mining calculator, Zcash mining calculator, and Beam mining calculator.
The unrealistic tag is assigned to all multi-algo pools (with exception to marketplaces) that are reporting higher reward than the reward for the best normal volume coin in the same algorithm. Since there is little chance that the multi-algo pool can actually pay such reward, we decided to put a special tag in such situations.

I started making this online tool that can help players design mining bases. It adds up the total resources consumed, produced and stored, as well as a few other metrics about heat generation, and other things of consideration when building a mining base.
I need to confirm a lot of details about the calculations on how the engineer bonus level, ore concentration, and multiple resource processes affect the final outcome for how much heat was generated. Does anyone have some definitive details on this? I will need to verify this tool's results against in-game tests, but the forum posts have gotten me this far at least
Each process produces heat separately, so running multiple converter processes definitely increases the heat output. Conversely, a converter process running at less than full capacity due to a shortage of ore produces less heat. The ore concentration does not affect electricity consumption or heat production, except in the case where a faster ore mining rate allows the converter to process more ore.
Due to conservation of energy, one would expect heat production to be roughly proportional to electricity consumption. In KSP, however, I'm not sure that is entirely true. I don't pay that much attention to heat output, so I'm not sure exactly how it works, but testing the radiator heat dissipation readouts in a variety of conditions should reveal the answers fairly quickly.
@tg626 Thanks, I hope it does As with the other tools for CommNet and Delta-v, i want to make this one accurate, or at the very least, trustworthy. I want to test it properly before release to ensure that players are not given bad info when building/launching a massive mining bases in-game, just to see it lack enough EC to function properly.
I'm thinking of adding features like accounting for the daylight time on the selected planet, then predicting how long the base will run on batteries. How much does that atmosphere affect solar panels, and perhaps calculate static solar panels' output as less than 100% because of a bad light angle. Warn players about the mini-drills having a 2.5% ore limit, or the limitations on the mini-isru heat dissipation, and many more...
