Topic: (Closed for Maintenance) Mining Profitability Chart (Read 22307 times)
Longest maintenance ever!
(offtopic) such memories... all this was 9 years ago omg.
There seems to be something wrong with your chart. The MtGox price numbers are about 10x too small, and all the other traces are smushed flat near the bottom of the chart. And I can only see two of them. Does each of them need its own vertical scale, perhaps? Also there are lots of 0, Infinity and NaN values in your data below the chart.
Oh, I totally need to update the ticker scraping code >_<
Thanks for noticing, it always breaks when I pay least attention to it.

Added IXCoin, I0Coin and SolidCoin profitability comparison.
Will make separate bitcoin-only page next

Looks like the mtgox prices aren't coming through again, is it possible to include a box to type in the variables manually if they don't come through automatically?
Otherwise, cool chart, great for comparing Bitcoin and Namecoin! Thanks.

Well, MtGox is back, bugs fixed, chart is back again, too 
Would there be a way to make the chart easier to understand by only showing bitcoin (and not including any lines or references to Namecoin ?)
Even if it is a form with a checkbox perhaps?

You're probably aware of this but if not your chart does not seem to be updating mtgox price.
The chart is correct; the numbers however are not. Fix is underway. Thanks for your feedback)

Also, they aren't simply weighted, profit=price/difficulty, and difficulty changes over time
I was referring to this statement above - on a 1 week chart, they actually would be just weighted (maybe with a single change in the [invisible] weighting number that travels over the chart and disappears) most of the time.In the long chart it might be interesting, in the short version it only adds clutter imho.
Difficulty changes not even every week (well, in Namecoin it does currently 
), so having it on a weekly chart might be a bit much, as there would be max. 2 different difficulties (and you can see the jump anyways clearly)
You misunderstood me. ), so having it on a weekly chart might be a bit much, as there would be max. 2 different difficulties (and you can see the jump anyways clearly)1. Difficulty is already only on historical graph
2. Look at the namecoin graph zigzags and you'll see that there's not much sense plotting prices and profits on the same scale. I think I'm gonna split them into 2 charts.

As they are anyways just a differently wheighted version of the profit charts, maybe you could get rid of them in the upper chart anyways? (Namecoin price - not profit - too)
Prices are using other scale than profits. I'm considering either to split them (because they're not really related), or to rescale.As they are anyways just a differently wheighted version of the profit charts, maybe you could get rid of them in the upper chart anyways?

This is great. I assume the address on the bottom (1NpcrLukTvASg38sbTeUMshkySTLm7FW41) is a bitcoin, not a namecoin address, right? I just want to make sure before I make a donation.
Yes, it's bitcoin. Thanks!Also, here's how you can make the chart scroll automatically to the right. It's a dirty script, but it works.
It works! So we finally have autoscroll Thanks again!

Name the div with the history chart 'historydiv'.

Thanks for this! All I have to do now is check your charts to see if it's worth it more to mine nmc or btc.
Right now it's showing 0.000 for all profits. I assume that's because one of the MtGox price thingies is messed up, right?

Previously, MtGox was outputting garbage instead of tickers. Now BitcoinCharts was down for maintenance.
Now I query both MtGox and BitcoinCharts and hope one of them works
Suggestion:
Add some horizontal lines every 1 USD, a bold one every 5

Done that

Your welcome and thanks for giving me credit on your charts page that was unexpected
