How To Use The Cryptocurrency Mining Calculator



Today, we will figure out how to utilize the CryptoCompare mining number crunchers. A simple to utilize instrument where you just need to enter your equipment data and power costs in ordert to show signs of improvement thought of your general potential to run a gainful mining activity. Variables like the cost of the coin and system trouble are consequently given by us. 

Contingent upon your financial plan and the sort of digital currency you expect to mine, these three kinds of mining are the most widely recognized for non-proficient diggers: 

DIY mining rig: These can be worked from your own particular PC, with the greatest number of illustrations cards as you can fit or bear, restricted by the quantity of PCI-E openings you have on the motherboard. A few people utilize a standard PC case, others utilize bizarre housings, which increment wind stream around the segments to cool all the more proficiently. 

ASICs: Application-particular Integrated Circuit, ASICs are independent units, which accompany a USB or Ethernet port, is the present 'untouchable' innovation utilized as a part of mining. These diggers are normally more costly than DIY fixes however they can create more hashes per watt of energy. These must be utilized to mine digital forms of money like Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dash since Ethereum, Zcash and others are memory hard calculations that require a GPU or CPU keeping in mind the end goal to mine successfully. 

Mining Contract (Cloud mining): Mining contract organizations like Genesis Mining give mining administrations execution indicated by contract, frequently alluded to as a "Mining Contract." They may, for instance, lease a particular level of digging limit with respect to a set cost at a particular term. 

(See various Mining Contracts here) 

Cryptocompare gives a page where you can analyze the entire Cryptocurrency Mining hardware advertise in one place and the entire Cryptocurrency mining contract showcase in another. Regardless of whether you need to mine yourself or get an agreement, you can utilize our straightforward measurements and the mining number cruncher to enable you to settle on a choice


Part 1: Find the Cryptocompare Calculators

Step 1: Go to cryptocompare website (or click here)



Step 2: Now in the header click on “Mining” button and then “Calculators”



Part 2: Use the Calculator

Step 1: As a default, it will open on BTC tab, we have 8 different calculators: BTC, ETH, ETC, XMR, ZEC, PASC, DASH, LTC. For this guide we are going to use Zcash, so on “currency” click on the “ZEC”  button



Step 2: Fill the gaps, there are only 3: Hashing Power, Power consumption (w), Cost per KW/h ($)

Hashing Power: A hash is the yield of a hash work and the Hash Rate is the speed at which a PC is finishing an activity in the particular coin calculation. A higher hashrate is better when mining as it builds your chance of finding the following square and getting the reward .When you run your mineworker you can perceive what number of hash you can do every second. 

Power utilization (w): Is how much power you devour utilizing your machine, any part on your machine will utilize power, so you have to know how to affirm your aggregate utilization, there are numerous approaches to affirm your aggregate power utilization, for example, Electricity Usage Monitors (known as Kill-a-watts) and sites like outervision witch do propelled math. 

Cost per KW/h ($): Is the amount you pay in dollars per kilowatt, the basic thing you have to know to ascertain your progressing benefit is the cost of your power. Check with your supplier, or investigate your last power charge. 

Here's an illustration: 


We have an apparatus with 3 nVidia GTX 1080 TI, we don't know nothing about this GPU and we don't know where to discover the determinations of this realistic card


Step 2.1: First we are going to search on Cryptocompare for this card, on the header we have a “search” field, type ther the name of your card there, as we see this card exist on our database, then open by clicking on it



Step 2.2: Now we can see a lot of info about mining with this card, for our exemple, we just need to know that card have a 200 watts of consumption and a hash rate of 680.0 H/s.



Remember, this is only an example, and for this example we will not count with others consumptions like motherboard, HD, monitor etc..
So if:
1 nVidia GTX 1080 TI use 200 watts and produces 680.0 Hash per second;
3 nVidia GTX 1080 TI will use 600 watts and produces 2040.0 Hash per second;
(approximately)
Lastly, we have saw that our Cost per KW/h from our last bill was 0.12$
Step 2.3: Now, we have everything we need to calculate our profit, return to the calculator and type everything (Hashing Power: 2040.0; Power consumption (w): 600 w; Cost per KW/h ($): 0.12$)

That’s it, we now can see that our rig of 3 nVidia GTX 1080 TI are generating:

$ 5.74 of Profit per day with a Power cost/Day of $ 1.73
$ 40.21 of Profit per week  with a Power cost/Week of $ 12.10
$ 172.34 of Profit per month with a Power cost/Month of $ 51.84
$ 2,096.75 of Profit per year with a Power cost/Year of $ 630.72
To confirm yours profits follow the example with your own GPU or ASICs but don't forget that some factors like the Coin price and mining difficulty change everyday and can have dramatic effects on profitability.
