What is it?



I'm collecting mining profitability data that might be of interest to other miners too. Each day at 4PM GMT I'll be calculating my 24h earnings from mining pools I'm currently testing to decide where I should put the bulk of my hashes (or maybe the answer will be diversification). The pools are CleverMining, GHash.io (multipool),

Betarigs, another contract-based hashrate rental service where I'm a provider

MiningRigRentals, one more contract-based hashrate rental service where I'm a provider

NiceHash, hashrate rental service with a stratum pool interface where I'm a provider

Scrypt.cc, cloud mining service where I own 1 Mh/s of hashing power

How is it done?



I'm attempting to determine actual earnings as opposed to what these pools report or estimate. For each pool I add up immature, unexchanged, and unpaid amounts (let's call it Balance), subtract previous Balance, add any payouts, and adjust for 1 MH/s of hashrate: (balance_now - balance_24h_ago + payouts_within_last_24h) / rig_hashrate. All amounts are in BTC.



If pool/service name on the charts has a suffix it indicates the hashing algorithm: S is Scrypt (as in Litecoin), and X11 / X13 should be self-explanatory.



The chart in this thread shows best-performing services for the last 10 days. More data is available here:



Caveats



1) All hashrates are "nominal" as reported by cgminer/sgminer/vertminer etc.



2) I'm not including any backup pools or other contingencies in these calculations. If a pool is down I'm assuming zero earnings for that time.



3) To make Scrypt-N, X11, and X13 comparisons meaningful I'm using "scrypt equivalent" hashrate, i.e. the hashrate the same mining rigs (based on AMD R9 GPUs) were generating for scrypt before I repurposed them. Current ratios are: 0.47 for Scrypt-N hashrate vs Scrypt, 5.2 for X11 vs Scrypt, 3.0 for X13 vs Scrypt. See also caveat 3a below. This means that for example if you have an R9 280X that produces 750 KH/s in Scrypt mode and 3.9 MH/s in X11 mode you would be getting results similar to what's shown on the charts. If you are undervolting/overvolting/overclocking you may be getting better or worse ratio than I am.



3a) Due to a software upgrade for AMD GPUs X11 ratio has increased from 2.8 to 4.0 starting from June 2, 2014, and from 4.0 to 5.2 starting from Jul 6, 2014. Pools such as WafflePool reflect increased earnings almost immediatelly, but rental services such as LeaseRig may take a few days to catch up due to long term leases locked-in at the lower hashrate.



4) "LTC ideal" represents approximate theoretical Litecoin profitability based on difficulty.



5) On LeaseRig, Betarigs and MiningRigRentals I'm aiming for maximum utilization of my rigs and most of the time I'm renting out at the lowest price. I'm not including my own mining proceeds when my rigs are not rented out.



6) On NiceHash I have not set up any price limits.



7) On scrypt.cc I'm only tracking mining proceeds and I'm not including any trading or reinvestment income or depreciation.



Coming up



I'll try to keep this updated for the next few days/weeks/until I get bored. Donations are scientifically proven to prevent and cure boredom - BTC: 1A8DePhATaFEyNBJpuybCA8oYUUZEgUraP , LTC: LMH5Jb59NtbAeiv1MrW2eMAQdex233UHMS , DOGE: DRPNAEXbCT7aimVxnbuPNY79pGFBWnBMhG .
