Mining calculatorBitcoin Cash income before and after block 1,050,000
Expected BCH per day for a given hashrate, from the measured network hashrate, block pace and fees.
No data yet
The calculator needs the measured network hashrate, block pace and fees. It appears here as soon as they have been read; no typical values are used in their place.
Questions
How is the income calculated?
Your hashrate divided by the network hashrate is your expected share of all blocks. That share times the blocks found per day times the block reward plus the average fees per block gives the expected BCH per day, before the pool fee.
What changes at the halving?
The block reward falls from 3.125 to 1.5625 BCH. Fees stay as they are, but on Bitcoin Cash they are a small part of a block's value, so income in BCH falls by almost half if nothing else changes.
Will the hashrate stay the same after the halving?
Nobody knows. The calculator keeps hashrate, fees and price unchanged so that the effect of the reward alone is visible. It is an assumption for comparison, not a forecast.
Which miners can mine Bitcoin Cash?
Bitcoin Cash uses SHA-256, the same proof-of-work as Bitcoin, so SHA-256 ASIC miners work on both chains.
