It's realtime profitability could have some errors, but 24hr average is quite accurate.
There's not many sites that show better results than whattimine.

Compare/check with cryptocompare.com mining calc. See what gives. Whattomine is a bit late on total network hashrates, but very accurate on the prices.

Yes I do trust but we have to consider the fact that frequent changes happening in rate may not get updated at that moment. We have to be more cautious.

Take whatever whattomine gives you with a grain of salt.

Whattomine is meant to be used as one of many other sources of information.
Always assume that what whattomine is giving you is not 100% accurate. Make sure you check with other calculators like https://nicehash.com/?p=calc

Who really cares? This is information that people gather themselves and do not use websites for. I suppose you can trust them, but the info being wrong is not going to be their fault so much as the time it takes to move on that info since you did not gather it yourself. By the time that you hit one website, then another and then the mining rig configs, it is already yesterdays news.

Most of the time yes, but it isn't accurate and it can be played. Most of my mining is for coins i think will be more valued in the future, for example i maybe mining vtc for the last year, maybe it wasn't the best option for a couple of months but if i keep my coins i can sell them at a higher value later.

Think about the primary motive in running this site; profits.  Imagine how they can benefit from what they recommend.

Food for thought.

In general the source is pretty good, sometimes they don't keep up with updates, calculators might be slightly off. But there isn't one perfect webpage.

Dont trust them

they are consitently way way optimistic on thier reports, for instance they still have not updated the ETHereum profits with the difficulty bomb diff increase and its been over 48 hours since that happened, this means to me they are updating the difficulties
manually or with a delayed script and not polling from the the block chains directly .

In crypto you need timely data to know when you should move your rigs to another algo or currency, whatamine is too slow for this.

By default, Whattomine.com uses a 24 hour average for difficulty and price in it's calculations. All you need to do is change it to 'Current price' and 'Current difficulty' in the sort options to use the current data.

I think the default options give a ore accurate representation of a coins recent profitability. Difficulty and price change every minute and adjusting your mining to match that is pointless.

Didn't know that , that should be the default setting though

Whattomine is a certain benchmark of course, however, since you don't switch currencies all the time you should put some of your personal analysis and mine currencies, which you personally trust and expect to grow in the future. So it is always up to you what to mine, though, ETH is a good option

Basically, the mining profit is not so accurate. Or, for most of case, it's not accurate at all.

You should test you mining profit by running the rig for a whole day and see its real profit.

Otherwise, you will miss some profitable coins .

They're not optimistic, the user who reads their reports is.

They give you results on -current- rates, which is what you're looking for.
Their script is a simple calculator, not a profit/price/difficulty guessing script.
It's a static calculator.

So, what they display is 99.99% accurate, at/for the moment when you click on "Calculate" button.

Whattomine is a great service but not all of altcoins listed there.
So you need to research for profitable coins if you are a reliable miner.

i think you need to move your pool to the others and don't mining at whattomine.com again if you are having problem with them. i guess there is many good pool out there that you can use to mining. i see you have a good hardware rig so i think you can get better amount of coins if you try in other pools. for the coins, i think you can try with another like etc, monero, litecoin, and else, just search the coins that will makes you can get profit when you selling the coins.

Remember that the h/s you see in whattomine is probably lower than what you can get with an OCed card and a new miner. It shows 270 in equihash for a 1060 when I'm getting around 335.
