What does the current cryptocurrency value mean?

If this item is active, the last known value of the cryptocurrency and its difficulty of extraction are used in the calculation.

As soon as you change any of these values, this function will be turned off and you can freely adjust the projection as you expect.

What is the value of changing the difficulty of extraction?

Changing the difficulty of mining means the speed with which the hardware requirements (computing power) for the possible block utilization increase.

Which means that a miner on the same hardware will extract fewer coins and therefore it is necessary to count with this quantity When generating long-term profitability forecasts.

Most cryptocurrencies are designed so that as mining miners are increasingly interested in cryptocurrency, mining difficulty automatically increases. Many cryptocurrencies have this difficulty proposed as follows. Once the time required to extract one block is reduced (multiple miners are connected), the logging difficulty automatically increases (for example, 10% for the next new block). Gradually, the difficulty increases until the miners start dropping the cryptocurrency because they no longer seem so profitable.

Increasing the difficulty of extracting all cryptocurrencies depending on time is therefore often inevitable. Which means your chances of earning will decrease. That’s why it’s important to start with the best equipment you can afford to stay relevant as long as possible, and also take into account the growth of difficulty in profitability calculation .

How is the difficulty of mining calculated?

The value of the difficulty change depends on the performance of all mining machines on the network.

Can I completely fill out the increasing difficulty in the calculator?

Yes, you can disable this feature completely in the calculator. Either by manually setting it to 0, or by clicking the “Calculate Difficulty Difficulty” radio button next to the “Change Difficulty Difficulty” box.

What is hashrate (hash rate)?

Hashrate is a required value, you need to enter in our calculator to see a graph of potential profitability over time for the selected cryptocurrency.

Before using the calculator, please make sure you are using the correct prefix to indicate the appropriate extraction rate (giga, tera, peta). So, if you are operating at 400 GH/s, make sure that GH/s is actually selected in the calculator and not TH/s.

The hashrate value is used to calculate the output of minerals (mining machines) and defines how quickly you are able to mine the currency. According to hashrate, you can easily calculate how many coins you can earn. It is specified in hash units per second (hash/s).

Powerful machines designed strictly for mining can easily reach the performance of 15GH/s. A normal graphics card on your PC is far less powerful in this respect.

What is this?

The Break-Even Analysis feature can help you predict how long it will take to become profitable for a given setup.

How is this calculated?

Time to break-even is calculated by comparing your Hardware purchase (which you must enter below) to your predicted monthly profits and seeing how long until the initial Hardware purchase is paid off. The calculator also takes the changing difficulty (diff change) into account. If the network difficulty is increasing quickly, this will greatly increase your break-even time. The diff change can be excluded from the calculation by toggling the "Use Diff Change" switch.

Why is my break-even time 0 or never?

If your break-even time is 0 you have likely forgotten to input your Hardware purchase below. If it is never, your break-even time has been calculated to be greater than 10 let. Je to pravděpodobně kvůli velké hodnotě změny rozdílu, která způsobí, že se vaše předpokládaná ziskovost v budoucnu změní na zápornou. Můžete zkusit snížit změnu rozdílu pro méně agresivní předpověď nebo ji úplně deaktivovat.

What is the hardware cost in our calculator?

This item represents the purchase of mining machinery and the cost of their involvement.

This is often a one-off (but often quite significant) initial investment.

What can you imagine under fixed mining costs?

Fixed costs are costs that can be the costs of storing machines, insuring them, cooling them, including internet connection costs and other costs that you will pay regularly each month.

It is these fixed costs that really need to be taken into account in the calculation, as they can reduce your projected profit.

Fixed costs do not include the costs of hardware acquisition and energy consumption– separate fields are reserved in the calculator.

What does this chart show?

The profitability graph can help you visualize long-term projections of mining profitability from three angles:

Total Profit

what your overall profitability will be in the future, broken down by months.

Number of Coins Extracted

This view shows you the expected amount of coins (coins) of the cryptocurrency you will extract in the future. This view does not take into account any expenses, simply predicting how many coins you will generate with your given hashrat and mine difficulty. If you increase the value in the “Difficulty Difficulty” field in the chart you can see that you will extract a smaller number of coins.

Total Cost

This visualization shows your total mining costs. It can be used to predict the total cost of purchasing and operating a mining machine over a given period of time.

What does it mean?

The price change field allows you to reflect the changing price in your percentage calculation (percentage increase or decrease).

Changing this value allows you to create accurate optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. By default, the price change is set to 0 in our calculator.

Why is the default value set to 0?

Because it is very difficult to predict what the price of the coin will be in the future. And we do not want to impose our view on possible price development, we leave the choice of this value fully in the hands of you users. 

How will this factor affect the profitability of mining?

It depends on how you intend to exchange the mined capital for FIAT (classic money). For more details, click the question mark next to the fieldForm of payment of profits, located next to the Crypto Currency Price Change item.

What does it mean?

Regular monthly exchange of mined capital for money

You simply want to exchange all the extracted cryptocurrency for FIAT every month (ordinary currency – money).

Your profit will consist of a reward for mining that is lowered by the total cost.

In the calculator, the total cost is about:

• energy costs
• reward mining pool
• fixed costs (rent, cooling)
• hardware costs (purchase of machines, connections)

However, it is not recommended to exchange the extracted capital regularly every month for personal experience.

Because in order to achieve maximum profit, it is necessary to sell the extracted cryptocurrency only when it is most interested in it (so-called boost) and its price reached the last known maximum or exceeded it. But this phenomenon is definitely not happening every month.

Converting the extracted capital into money to cover costs

You only sell the amount of capital required to cover your monthly costs. (electricity, rent, etc.)

Your profits will be:
(unsold extracted capital * estimated coin price) – (hardware costs)

It is this form of exchange to cover the costs of most smaller investors who previously mined at home or in their own premises.

Sale of a part of the mined portfolio

In the calculator, after selecting this item you will see another field (Sale of Portion of Portfolio), where you fill in what part of the portfolio you want to sell on a monthly basis in percent.

So your profit will match the equation:
(money from sale) + (unsold crypto * estimated coin price) – (total cost + hardware costs)

You will not exchange the cryptocurrency for money

If you plan not to sell the mined capitalon a monthly basis, but you’d prefer to hold it so you can sell it all at the right time and get the most revenue, select this option.

So your profit will match the equation:
(all extracted cryptocurrency * estimated price) – (total cost + hardware cost)
