Whattomine - profitability website with basic json.

Why? What surprises you?

I dont understand what you need or what `one additional method of parameters coding` might be.

Ok. Now I need request details of certain money as follows: www.whattomine.com/coins/151.json?hr=<my_hashrate_for_ethash>&p=<power_in_mode_of_mining_ethash>&....
But common info, which I can request from your site like www.whattomine.com/coins.json?utf8=...&factor[eth_hr]=<my_hashrate_for_ethash>&factor[eth_p]=<power_in_mode_of_mining_ethash>..... contains whole necessary parameters for all algo!
Please, parse parameters string for coins.json request and filter only needed for certain coin (algo) (You can get hashrate not from hr=, but from factor[eth_hr]).

Sorry for my English.

For anyone who is new and don't know how to use Whattomine profitability calculator use this guide which is helpful.

This is not a complaint...rather general curiosity and a desire to better understand:

I have an Innosilicon A4+and am mining Verge at MiningPoolHub.  My nominal hashrate (from the miner's UI) is 695 MH/s.  The pool indicates my calculated hashrate as variable between ~500-900 MH/s.

whattomine.com's calculation indicates I should be earning ~217 coins per day, but my actual earnings per day averages ~130 coins.  Why is there a difference?  Is the calculation based on something that's variable from pool to pool (indicating I should maybe change pools)?  Is there something you are unaware of that should be changed in your calculation to better reflect potential earnings?

I LOVE whattomine.com and use it almost every day to help me make decisions about GPU purchases, coins to mine, etc.  I just want to better understand how it calculates likely earnings, so I can use the information even more confidently than I do now.

I think LUX has wrong diff listed.

@cptcherry
You need to pass your values to json url, the same as you provide them to the UI.
You can use the same url, just add `coins.json?`

HI
got this working.
for 12x gtx1070: {"coins":{"Zcash":{"id":166,"tag":"ZEC","algorithm":"Equihash","block_time":"147.0","block_reward":10.0,"block_reward24":10.0,"last_block":267299,"difficulty":8569198.1546495,"difficulty24":7099938.66248758,"nethash":477543342,"exchange_rate":0.044693,"exchange_rate24":0.0420029894957983,"exchange_rate_vol":1153.463661852,"exchange_rate_curr":"BTC","market_cap":"$941,994,815.39","estimated_rewards":"0.06351","estimated_rewards24":"0.07665","btc_revenue":"0.00283836","btc_revenue24":"0.00342573","profitability":87,"profitability24":106,"lagging":false,"timestamp":1517880992}


A few questions
1) is importing this into excel the best way via a power query?
2) how do I get it to extract the top first three most profitable - and is this locked to the coin ID on the original import, or is it dynamic?
3) I don't see "rev$ / Profit" in the json results, can i find it else where, or is there another query that is connected to power usage?

Thanks

This cannot be easily done. Current json simplistic nature operates only because the interface is unified with UI.

Thanks!

Multi-algo coins are tricky to estimate rewards for.
Its possible that pool had bad luck / orphans. In general sha and scrypt parts should be fine though.
I think there was a network issue on verge few days ago, any chance it got better recently?
Still waiting for my asic, can test the rewards after I have it.

@Eneen
Thanks for the heads up, indeed the explorer forked, switched for a backup for now.

@cptcherry
1) and 2) Honestly never played with excel and json
3) Those attributes are not relevant from comparison-list point of view.
You can still calculate them from btc_revenue or call a single-coin endpoint to calculate it for you.

I was curious to know what does the WhatToMine calculator status "Active (Not Listed)" mean exactly. If a coin is not listed, does this mean that the information in the calculator is not up to date? How is "Active (Not Listed)" differ from "Active" or "No available stats(lagging)"?

Thanks.

Basically it means that its not included on the gpu / asic lists, but reasons can be different.
Its algo may not be supported by the list, for example Xevan.
Sometimes there are temp network / exchange issues.

Lagging means that stats havent been updated for more than one hour.
No available stats is coming in red and is the reason for coin being inactive.

Hello, is it possible to response GPU profitability in JSON format?
It would be very cool, to make local calculator - what gpu is better to by in my city.

WTM's rewards estimate is still running about double what the actual reward is (at least for me) re: XVG-Scrypt.

I average 121 coins/day with a low of 108 and a high of 168.  The vast majority of days are between 110 and 132.
MiningPoolHub's calculated hashrate for me is consistent with my miner's nominal rate (695 mh/s).
WTM's rewards estimate for my hashrate is 227.

MiningPoolHub reports a network difficulty of ~78K and so does WTM, at the moment.

Again, I'm not complaining; only trying to understand and perhaps supply you with information that might help you.  I should add that I also mine ETH using GPU rigs and WTM's rewards estimate is very close (~+10%).  I've had similar luck (estimate close to reality) with Musicoin.

Indeed mph has really negative luck on xvg-scrypt.
https://verge-scrypt.miningpoolhub.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks

Need to check if this is something wrong chain-wide or only happens on this pool.

EDIT:
Havent used this pool, but displayed luck seems much better

I'm going to switch over to that pool and see if I get better results.  Will report back in a few days.

After 9 hours on MasterMining, I'm on track to be at 206/day.  Almost exactly as WhatToMine predicts.  Thank you for helping me to find the problem!

Cheers, thats really strange though, never had this kind of problem on mph.
Maybe drop the admin an email explaining the problem.

Is there no information for Verge (blake algo) in the http://whattomine.com/coins.json file content?

As of this moment blake2s is not added to coins list, you can only calculate solo or dual.

Apparently, I spoke too soon.  After 122 hrs of mining, my average gross yield is 138 XVG-scrypt per day on mastermining.  Better than the 121 I was getting on MPH, but still nowhere near the 220 predicted by your algo on WTM.

Getting all shares rejected now on mastermining.
Testing nlpool.

I'm only seeing 3.3% rejection, but that's over time.  It's possible that there have been periods of 100% rejection but I wasn't monitoring.

What do you think about this alert i read and quote on CRC, INN, VIVO and some other like GBX and TZC ?
