ASIC miners yield calculation

2CryptoCalc mining yield calculator has long established itself as a quick and easy-to-use tool to calculate the profitability of mining on video cards. In March 2023, it received a major update, as 2Miners team added ASIC support. Accordingly, anyone can now enter the actual number of devices of a certain model and the platform will show its profitability.

The profitability assessment allows a miner to determine whether his/her investment in ASIC miners will be worthwhile. It is important to note that 2CryptoCalc calculator does not take into account electricity costs as electricity costs vary from region to region.

The profitability calculation allows the owner of the equipment to assess its competitiveness and to adjust its strategies accordingly. For example, this can be done by purchasing more efficient devices or moving the ASIC to regions with better availability of electricity. Finally, the calculator will also tell you which cryptocurrencies and tokens to focus on for mining, taking into account various factors such as network complexity and crypto-asset costs. Alas, ASIC miners are less flexible than video cards, so the choice of coins available for them is quite limited.

Page of the most profitable ASIC-mainers provides a comprehensive list of devices supported by the calculator. You can sort miners based on their daily profitability or payback period.

Mining Pool Updates

Regular updates of cryptocurrency nodes play a very important role for a mining pool for several reasons. First of all, it ensures the security and stability of the network, as updates often include patches and improvements to protect against possible attacks. In addition, updates increase mining efficiency and performance through optimizations and software changes. Finally, using the latest version of nodes allows miners to adapt to changes in the consensus protocol and algorithms to ensure compatibility and avoid potential revenue losses.

The 2Miners team updated quite a few nodes in March 2023. These include Aeternity, Zcash, Horizen, Firo and Flux. In addition, the developers have installed Kaspa nodes on 2Miners servers, since the release of this cryptocurrency on the pool will take place very soon.

Here is the list of March updates on the 2Miners pool.

AE v6.8.1-a42c1b1 fixes a bug in microblock creation.

ZEC 5.4.2 fixes memory shortage vulnerabilities, which were essentially a “legacy” of Bitcoin Core.

ZEN v3.3.1 supports future upgrade to ZEN v4, which will ensure code stability and security.

FIRO v0.14.12.1-gc7e3ef0e6 also contains an emergency patch to address a zero-day vulnerability affecting many projects that use code from Bitcoin Core. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to send specially crafted p2p messages to disable individual nodes.

FLUX 6.1.0-782daee implies RPC optimization, performance improvements, RPC snapshots and calls, multiple processing optimizations along with various bug fixes.

Kaspad v0.12.13 is the latest version of the KAS node software. The 2Miners team has installed it to further run the mining pool for this coin.
