Lets say i'm using 1TH/s to mine bitcoins, how many % of profit i will lose when mining again with the same 1TH/s after difficulty increase?

That depends on how much the difficulty increases by...

Well how much It increases in average each time? And how often?

hey kickbit, are you planning on doing a similar calculator for Litecoin? I was just looking for an accurate calculator like this for the past couple of days, since many of them currently out there don't take into consideration many important factors. A Litecoin calculator would be really helpful, especially with the coming of the ASIC Scrypt miners. thx.

Yes, of course

I'm working on it and other additional tools.
Litecoin, DOGE and other scrypt coins. Cool

I know. The problem is that you don't display that on your site, and people that don't bother clicking the "advanced" link will get confused.

Yes, you're right.
I made a FAQ Page: http://mining-profit.com/faq - it can answer all main questions. Now I'm thinking of making interface more clear.

How many bitcoins will I earn with 100 Gh/s miner?
You will mine 0.2143 bitcoins.

Uh.... in what period of time? In a day? A second? A month? My lifetime? The miner's lifetime?

6 month by default.

It's the most popular question. I'll explain it on the website.

I developed mining calculator for a pretty long time

This is very accurate calculator: mining-profit.com
There is "advanced version" : http://mining-profit.com/advanced-calculator - here you can set all necessary parameters and estimate your profit.
Calculator takes into account Bitcoin difficulty growth.

PS. If you will have any questions, wait few days, I'm working on FAQ page now Wink

When the KNC miners start hitting the market, there will be massive increase.

What was it, 2400 x 3 TH/s?

Have to take that into account.

Not really. It's already factored in when you use a figure like 20-25% per diff retarget.
Look at the numbers - the network hashing rate is currently 58,736 TH/s . KNC's 2400 units X 3 TH/s causes a 12.25 percent increase and KNC will release that in two separate batches almost one month apart. It's not significant enough to warrant extra consideration.

Any bitcoin calculators that have difficulty increment by 20% per 11-12 days is pretty accurate..

I just do my own calculations in a spreadsheet with a few assumptions but it can be pretty accurate..

Here is what I do

Work out your Hashes.. for instance 2TH/s will be 2000 x 10000000000 = 20000000000000 (Will call this A1)

Add a cell with the difficulty 6,119,726,089 (call it A2)

Then use this formula to get the amount of Bitcoins you will make per day

=(216000*A1)/(A2*(2^32))

Times it by how many days left and that's roughly how many Bitcoins you will make this diff

I calculate a 20% increase in each difficulty so I make a new cell with

=SUM(0.2*A2)+A2

Rinse and repeat every 13 days or so.. and you will get a fairly accurate picture
