One of the most important tools for a Cryptocurrency miner is up to date information on which coins to mine to maximize your profit. In all my previous posts, I recommended Whattomine.com as a resource for a mining profit estimator. Now there is new site,Crypto-coinz.net, with a lot of resources for miners including mining guides, coin statistics and mining pools.
But one of the most interesting services is the mining profit estimator. Just click on the Crypto Calculator tab to open the estimator.
First glance shows there are several different options from Whattomine, such as different GPU cards, algorithms and exchanges.
Default Hashrate Comparison
There are also significant differences in default hashrates between the two sites. To illustrate this I selected a single 1080ti GPU on both sites. Below are the results, first for Whattomine
and then for Crypto-coinz.
For the three common algorithms listed on both sites we can see the different default hashrates in the table below.
| Algorithm | Whattomine | Crypto-coinz | Percent Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equihash | 685 | 635 | 7.9% |
| NeoScrypt | 1400 | 1500 | 7.1% |
| Skunkhash | 47.5 | 47.5 | 0% |
Most Profitable Coins Comparison
The highest profit coins recommended by the two sites differed also. First we see Whattomine's most profitable coins using the default 1080ti
and next we see the most profitable coins recommended by Crypto-coinz.
While both sites recommended Altcommunity coin as the most profitable, there was significant difference in the revenue and profit listed for the coin.
| $ | Whattomine | Crypto-coinz | Percent Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 3.94 | 5.52 | 40.1% |
| Profit | 3.39 | 4.97 | 46.6% |
As you can see, there is a significant difference in the expected profit for the same coin listed by the two sites, even though the hashrate was the same. So it is important to remember to compare your actual results to the estimates provided by each site.
Conclusion
Crypto-coinz.net is a good resource for coins and algorithms not supported by Whattomine.com. While the site is new and at times can feel a little flaky when using the calculator, the added information can help you decide what to mine to maximize your profit.
Happy Mining!
