Compare the whole scenario, not only the coin
The same device can be efficient on one algorithm and unsuitable for another. First determine which algorithm your hardware supports, then compare the real result after electricity.
For small farms, liquidity, the pool's minimum payout, network stability and exchange availability also matter. A high paper profit does not help if the coin is difficult to sell or withdraw.
- algorithm and ASIC compatibility
- income after electricity
- difficulty and competition
- liquidity and payouts
- risk of a sudden network change
A calculator is a starting point, not a buy signal
A calculator shows a result for the parameters you enter. If the price, difficulty or network hashrate changes, the result changes too. Use it to compare scenarios, not as a promise of income.
It is useful to review several periods — day, week, month and quarter — and immediately check how payback changes under a different tariff.
