I think you need to also incorperate some allowance for increasing difficulty, Like the other site's "Profitability decline per year" factor.

Good point. Is there a fixed time when the difficulty re-adapts? E.g.: every 2 days or so? Or is it rather random?

nice spreadsheet.

there are some sites that provide raw ghash/price/break even calculators and another that shows hash per card but, nothing putting them together that i've seen.

and

the sad part that your chart shows is that none of these solutions show a break even of less than 6months. hopefully we'll have affordable ASIC's in a few months that could beat the projections on your chart.

Hi everybody,

I just started getting active with bitcoins a couple of days ago.
Made various calculations and bought a testing card and have a few upcoming Projects,
such as the Stealth Mining Project.

I also made a nicely customizeable Excel file (created with MsOffice).

The only thing you will have to do is:
* Pick your Electricity Price
* Pool Fee
* and select the mining card.
* (also some other options, such as pool hopping, altering difficulty and block reward, etc are available)

After that you see a list of outcomes with different szenarios. e.g.:
* 2 rigs, each 4 cards
* 5 rigs, each 6 cards
* ...

So I have uploaded the document on various Mirrors for you to have a look at
