Would there be demand for a PMC mining profitability calculator? You'd have to enter in a few numbers to get a reasonable profitability calculation, but I could do it. I need an excuse to brush up on my C++ anyway.
is it profitable at these exchange rates?
it really varies.
on days with high TX volume it can be profitable, today on the other hand is mush less than profitable.
It will be difficult to make, since you will have to find some way of averaging the rewards from mining. One big or slow day will make it inaccurate.
That being said, I certainly don't object to the idea.
Basically you need a way of graphing the profitability by averaging the last n number of blocks. Perhaps a rolling 100 block average.
Under favourable conditions, PMC could make $15 a day on 10ghash/sec if PMC pricing is at 0.001, and if block rewards average out to 1 PMC. Which was certainly the case a day or or so ago.
This is also taking into account Bitcoin's appalling price at the moment. The profitability will go up once the price of BTC goes up. Right now with that hashpower you would make $0.41 a day, but with a 100ghash cube, that would be $4.10 a day, and considering the low BTC rate, the low network activity and also the recent dump on the exchanges that isn't bad.
Favourably a 100ghash cube could generate $150 a day, I think. Even then, you'd need to average out your daily earnings as the block reward average changes each day. So half of that would be quite reasonable as a favourable average.
