Why Profit per Watt wins

Power is the one resource every miner is capped on. Two machines can earn the same dollars per day - the efficient one does it on far fewer watts, leaving headroom to add rigs, survive price dips, and stay profitable when electricity costs rise.

Miner A Less efficient
Net profit $6.00 / day
Power draw
3,000 W
Profit per Watt $0.002000/W·day
Relative efficiency 50%
Miner B Efficient
Net profit $6.00 / day
Power draw
1,500 W
Profit per Watt $0.004000/W·day
Relative efficiency 100%
2× Profit per Watt

Same daily profit, half the power. Miner B lets you run twice the hashrate on the same circuit - that's why CoinWarz ranks by Profit per Watt instead of raw hashrate or sticker profit.

How CoinWarz calculates mining profit

  1. 1 Hash share

    Your miner hashrate divided by the live network hashrate from full nodes or block explorers.

  2. 2 Daily coins

    Block reward × (86,400 ÷ block time) × hash share. Merge-mined Scrypt (LTC + DOGE) sums both chains' rewards.

  3. 3 Revenue

    Daily coins × USD price (refreshed every 10 minutes).

  4. 4 Costs

    Power cost = (watts ÷ 1000) × 24 × your USD/kWh rate. Pool fees = revenue × pool fee.

  5. 5 Profit per Watt

    (Revenue − power cost − pool fees) ÷ watts - the headline metric used to rank all hardware.

U.S.-Iran War Update: Trump Orders Pause in Strikes on Iran Amid Hormuz Talks

U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly ordered the U.S. military to halt strikes against Iran, in a move that has helped de-escalate tensions in the U.S.-Iran war after multiple days of strikes. Bitcoin continues to trade flat as the war drives energy prices higher, sparking inflation concerns and the possibility of a Fed rate hike this The post U.S.-Iran War Update: Trump Orders Pause in Strikes on Iran Amid Hormuz Talks appeared first on CoinGape .

Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC’s Rally Could Be a Bull Trap as Sub-$60K Target Remains

Bitcoin is consolidating just above the $60K region after a volatile first half of 2026 that saw the asset collapse from its January highs near $96K. The recent rebound off the June lows has restored some short-term optimism, but the price is now stalling directly beneath a heavy confluence of moving-average resistance. Whether this becomes […]

How Proof of Work Works - The mechanism that secures trillions

Proof of Work is the cryptographic system that lets strangers agree on the truth without any central authority. Miners solve math puzzles, lock in honest behavior, and keep billions of dollars of value secure. Here is exactly how it works.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to common mining questions - updated with live data when available.

What is CoinWarz?

CoinWarz is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining profitability platform. It provides live mining calculators, network difficulty and hashrate charts, USD price history, and ASIC hardware rankings sorted by Profit per Watt - net daily mining profit divided by power draw in watts.

How do you calculate crypto mining profitability?

CoinWarz estimates daily mining profit as: (your hashrate ÷ network hashrate) × block reward × blocks per day × coin USD price − electricity cost − pool fees. Blocks per day = 86,400 ÷ target block time in seconds. Electricity cost = (watts ÷ 1000) × 24 × USD per kWh. Pool fees = gross revenue × pool fee rate.

What is the current Bitcoin price and network stats?

Bitcoin (BTC) is $64,316 USD on CoinWarz (updated Jul 25, 20:22 UTC). The SHA-256 network difficulty is 127.17T with an estimated hashrate of 914 EH/s. The current block subsidy is 3.125 BTC per block (~10 minute target block time).

What is Profit per Watt in mining?

Profit per Watt is net daily mining profit in USD divided by miner power draw in watts (USD/W/day). CoinWarz uses it as the headline metric for hardware rankings because electricity is the largest ongoing cost and efficiency determines real-world returns more than raw hashrate alone.

Which cryptocurrencies does CoinWarz support?

CoinWarz tracks 14 active PoW coins: Bitcoin (BTC), Zcash (ZEC), Monero (XMR), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Dash (DASH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ravencoin (RVN), Alephium (ALPH), EthereumPoW (ETHW), Vertcoin (VTC), Bellscoin (BELLS), Syscoin (SYS). Each has a mining calculator, optional difficulty/hashrate/price charts, and algorithm-matched hardware rankings.

Where does CoinWarz get cryptocurrency prices?

USD prices are fetched from the CoinGecko public API every 10 minutes and stored in the CoinWarz database.

Where does CoinWarz get network difficulty and hashrate?

Block difficulty and estimated network hashrate come from synced full-node RPC data (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin) or trusted block explorers (Zcash via Blockchair, Monero via LocalMonero). Values are recorded per block and shown on charts and calculators.

Does CoinWarz support Litecoin and Dogecoin merge mining?

Yes. Litecoin and Dogecoin are AuxPoW merge-mined on the Scrypt algorithm. One Litecoin hashrate share earns both LTC (≈6.25 LTC/block, 150s target) and DOGE (≈10,000 DOGE/block, 60s target) block rewards against the Litecoin network hashrate.

Which ASIC miner is most profitable?

The most profitable miner depends on your electricity rate, coin price, and network difficulty. CoinWarz ranks all listed hardware by Profit per Watt at your USD/kWh - use the Miners page to compare ASICs across algorithms or filter by coin.
