Title: Mining Calculations (file inside) Post by: nookiegirl on May 18, 2013, 12:20:10 AM Hi everybody,
I just started getting active with bitcoins a couple of days ago. Made various calculations and bought a testing card and have a few upcoming Projects, such as the Stealth Mining Project (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202560.0). I also made a nicely customizeable Excel file (created with MsOffice). The only thing you will have to do is: * Pick your Electricity Price * Pool Fee * and select the mining card. * (also some other options, such as pool hopping, altering difficulty and block reward, etc are available) After that you see a list of outcomes with different szenarios. e.g.: * 2 rigs, each 4 cards * 5 rigs, each 6 cards * ... So I have uploaded the document on various Mirrors for you to have a look at * http://dfiles.eu/files/24nhckuwp * http://en.file-upload.net/download-7606253/Mining_Calculations.xlsx.html * http://www.sendspace.com/file/hnnqx2 * http://www.fileswap.com/dl/BGyfoxgUIb/Mining_Calculations.xlsx.html If you find this useful in any way, you could consider a tiny donation to: 15VFufSGmEoP21PNb2ucs3kqtPz2fSkok1 Title: Re: Mining Calculations (file inside) Post by: sniffinpoprocks on May 18, 2013, 06:17:44 PM nice spreadsheet.
there are some sites that provide raw ghash/price/break even calculators and another that shows hash per card but, nothing putting them together that i've seen. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#AMD_.28ATI.29 and http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ the sad part that your chart shows is that none of these solutions show a break even of less than 6months. hopefully we'll have affordable ASIC's in a few months that could beat the projections on your chart. I think you need to also incorperate some allowance for increasing difficulty, Like the other site's "Profitability decline per year" factor.

Good point. Is there a fixed time when the difficulty re-adapts? E.g.: every 2 days or so? Or is it rather random? |
