All blocks for the last 24h, easy
So, how that STRAKS test went?) I'm running nodes for new coins and then switch to WTM when they appear there, generally WTM avg diff is 0.5-5% higher than the real one.
The only exception is STRAKS where it's always 20-25%. Considering 5-10% or even more can be wasted on some random things during mining, it can be closer to reality, but still it's not right.
I prefer correct values and then you can apply -10% if you want it to be more realistic and not theoretical.

Nothing new since last time.
Feeling the same way as you do, would be better to have closer average diff and then manual fee if needed.

I am not really looking for advertisers, they usually come to me if they need an ad placed.

Hi! Do you have some pools list on the Whattomine web page? We'll be glad to be added.
We are uCrypto.net multipool with low fees and cryptocoin variety - 18 coins based on the Ethash and Equihash algorithms.

Hey, thanks for reaching out.
No list like that yet, but it might be coming. There will be channels open to sign on the list once ready.

Mpos pools let you query for current difficulty, same as explorers.
Agreed that calcs need to originate from difficulty - all coins are calculated this way.

How do you use pools? YIIMP does not give any data to calculate profit.
Maybe if you take average from all points on estimate chart you can get something close to reality, but it will be discrete values of current diff and current price taken on large intervals, so the same as getting diff regularly and an average price for a day. I was doing this before, but realized that pool owners can just write whatever they want for these estimates, even manual values that they update once a week
And also data that pool provides has luck of that particular pool applied to it, comparing random stuff is not productive. At least avg diff based values are not affected by luck, it applies after and cannot be predicted.

Because they are down randomly
Explorer API provides all the required commands though.
Explorer API provides all the required commands though.
Code:
for (i = last_block_in_db; i <= getblockcount; i++) { getblock(getblockhash(i)) }
Hehe true, some of them go down quite often.
In more than half of the cases the data is fetched from pools or other custom apis, so there is no way to pull all the blocks.
Soon I will reach 24h on the test mining and looks like the calc is ok.
I know it uses the average diff around 20% higher than what would be calculated from simple average of all blocks.
We could ofc pull the entire chain for straks, the values for diff would be smaller but then again estimated_rewards would be 20% higher and not correct.
Now the reason for this is not yet clear to me, though I have a feeling this might be caused by using a simple average vs for example weighted one.

Why do you grab current diff instead of diff for every block since last poll?
And explorers are unreliable. I'll have to run more nodes
And explorers are unreliable. I'll have to run more nodes
Cause I am not running nodes for most of the coins.
Not sure why do you think explorers are unreliable though.
Running a test on straks now, will compare with calc when done.

So there won't be a fix for diff calculation? I guess it's safe to assume WTM is totally inaccurate then.
P.S. What's up with ORE, lagging for more than a day?

I have reduced polling time for straks, but it didnt help much.
At the end of the day calcs are correct for me on other coins - still need to check straks to make sure.
ORE official explorer is down.

How is "profitability" calculated? it doesn't make any sense to me. Some examples from the ASIC tab today using 0.075 $ power:
Bitcoin: Revenue is showing as $6.46, profit is showing $3.74 and the profitability is showing as 100%. There isn't any math I can figure where profitability is 100%.
Siacoin: Revenue showing 3.93 and profit is 1.59 and profitability is 60%.
The way I would normally look at profit margin or profit ratio would be profit over power so in the case of bitcoin it would be $3.74/($6.46-3.74)= 1.37 so a 1.37 or 137% profit ratio of net revenue over power. I have no clue where the 100% comes from.
Can someone help explain or point to a formula that explains the profitability calculation on the site?

The naming is not accurate - its based on revenue in BTC.
100% is a base to compare other coins to either BTC or ETH.
aha! okay, well the numbers make sense then! Thanks!
I still wish it was what I was looking for but at least I understand what it is

Indeed my average is higher than the real average.
From what I can see its caused by lowered diff periods of around 300-500, where many blocks are mined in short time and not all of them are cached into the db.
Now the question remains which average is able to produce closer estimated_rewards.
How do you miss blocks? They all have unique numbers From what I can see its caused by lowered diff periods of around 300-500, where many blocks are mined in short time and not all of them are cached into the db.
Now the question remains which average is able to produce closer estimated_rewards.
STRAKS can change difficulty very sharply (check chart on BlockStats), I don't think that getting diff every 5-10 min is accurate.
Difficulty already takes block time and hashrate into account, so IMHO it's the only way to calculate theoretical rewards.
Real rewards can differ greatly because of unstable hashrate, suboptimal pool and network efficiencies, low pool luck, fees, big hashrate attacks, etc.
But all of those are unpredictable (even fees
) and cannot be used to compare rewards. It is an average diff, not sure why it would be wrong though. Can you explain what are you comparing it with?
Sum up diffs of every single block for the last 86400 seconds, divide by their count.I get 1254: https://blockstats.pw/straks/
WTM shows almost 1600, so I'm also not sure how that is possbile
I'm running a node and use blocknotify to get data for each block and put it in DB.
Code:
SELECT COUNT(`diff`), SUM(`diff`) DIV COUNT(`diff`) FROM `straks_pow` WHERE `time` >= (UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 86400)
Returns block count = 1290 (~67 sec per block, matches WTM) and 1254 avg diff.Indeed my average is higher than the real average.
