What these numbers mean

    The fine print

    • Odds: expected blocks/day = hashrate × 86,400 ÷ (difficulty × 2³²); chance of at least one = 1 − e−expected.
    • Pool earnings use hashprice from the average reward of the last 144 blocks, minus your pool fee. Real payouts vary.
    • Tariffs are 2026–27 regulated default offers (AER DMO, Victorian Default Offer, WA, Aurora, ActewAGL, Jacana). Most households on market offers pay less.
    • Ignores difficulty growth, BTC price moves, hardware failure and the value of the heat.
    • Not financial advice. A hobbyist's estimate tool.
