Title: relation between khash/s - bitcoin/day
Post by: alex_l on July 12, 2010, 12:20:25 AM
Hi all, my name is Alessandro and I am from Italy; I just read about bitcoin on slashdot and became isntantly amused..so I downloaded and installed it on my linux system, thanks for such a magic invention!

My question is: does the number of khash/s affect the daily rate of coins generated?

I have from my processor 1230-1500ish khash/s, running stock frequency (2400mhz), but I can easily get it running 3000-3200 mhz

Can I calculate the approximate number of coins generate per day, given the statistic khash/s value? How many coins am I getting per day with 1230 khash/s ?

IS there any formula ?


Thanks in advance. Alex

Somebody else can chime in on the validity of the formula:
( 1/(currentTarget / 2^256) ) / (hashesPerSecond)
I got that out of a thread here some time ago.

That's a fabulous service! Thank you so much! The estimation for my system is a little off, but it's accurate enough that it would be extremely useful if I was generating my first coins.

Remember, that is just an average.  So, there is a 50% chance that you will have generated 50 BC after that amount of time passes. 

That being said, great job Lachesis!
