Difference between "Real world" & the Feathercoin Mining Profitability Calc.
-
Hello everyone!
I would like to get a feel for the accuracy of the Mining Profitability Calculator. Not looking for specific numbers or anything or how much everyone is successfully mining, but I have created a poll with some general responses.
The reason for my curiosity really comes down to the term “luck” being used a fair amount when it comes to questions about successfully finding a block.
An example would be:
Diff: 140.14317576
Hash rate (KHash/s) : 3320
FTC/USD: 0.630693
Power 1300w
Electricity rate ($/kWh): $0.17These figures yield results of:
Coins per day 95.31253178563648 FTC
So as I mentioned, id like to get a feel for how accurate this is. Are you successfully receiving the right amount of FTC per day as the calculator would suggest? For your respective hash rate of course…
If you care to join in on the poll that would be most appreciated and informative!
Thanks!
Cornelius
EDIT:
SO it seems like I used the wrong function and can’t add my poll!
Anywho, the options would have been:
[b]Q[/b]: [i]Are you successfully receiving the right amount of FTC per day as the calculator would suggest? For your respective hash rate of course…[/i]
[list type=decimal]
[*]Exact same amount
[*]Pretty darn close.
[*]Some days yes some days no
[*]I wish! Not even close to hitting those numbers.
[/list] -
My estimates are usually within a few coin of actual results.
-
It’s pretty much spot on for me give or take one coin.
-
Overall the calculation seems to be correct…
… if you mine 24x7 or use a pps pool AND build the average per month or even per quarter.
-
Use of a pplns pool gives disadvantages to non-24x7 miners as you are only paid if you are mining, when a block is found.
-
Any day to day comparison is not correct, as there are lucky and unlucky rounds

Great replies everyone!
Informative and pleasantly surprising! :D
