Topic: How those mining calculators work (Read 464 times)
What the hell is wrong with you? The question is not that hard, is it?
I've always wondered how these mining calculators work. Now I saw a formula:
My question therefore is: to which period does "reward" refer to? To an hour, a day or a month? The number 3600 appears within formula, which makes me think it could be an hour. However, the result of several dollars per hour seems a little bit too high. That's why I'm unsure. Any suggestions?
Code:
Reward = ((hashrate * block_reward) / (current_difficulty * 2^32)) * (1 - pool_fee) * 3600
