Transaction Fees**: Per-block transaction fee earnings (BTC) **Advanced Options**: - **Revenue Fees & Downtime**: Pool fees and equipment downtime (%) - **Profit Fees**: Additional operational fees (%) - **Difficulty Increment**: Expected difficulty change (%/year) - **Price Increment**: Expected BTC price change (%/year) - **Halving Difficulty Drop**: Expected difficulty adjustment at halving (%) **Debt Financing** (when enabled): - Loan amount and terms - Interest rates and payment schedules - BTC collateral requirements - Monthly payment calculations ### Profitability Metrics Calculated **Break-Even Analysis**: - **USD CapEx Break Even**: Months to recover equipment cost in USD - **BTC CapEx Break Even**: Months to recover equipment cost in BTC - **Electricity Break Even**: Maximum electricity price for profitability (USD/kWh) - **Hardware Fully Depreciated**: Timeline for complete depreciation **Financial Metrics**: - **IRR**: Internal Rate of Return (%) - **Cumulative Profit from Mining**: Total profit over projection period (USD) - **Final Value of BTC Holdings**: Value of mined BTC at end (USD) - **Total BTC Mined**: Cumulative Bitcoin earned **Cost Analysis**: - **Avg. Cost to Mine 1 BTC**: All-in cost per Bitcoin (USD) - **Monthly Loan Payment**: Debt service if financing enabled (USD) - **Total Cost of Loan**: Total interest paid over loan term (USD) - **BTC Collateral for Loan**: Bitcoin required as collateral ### Visualization Tabs **Profit & Cash Flow**: - Monthly/cumulative profit charts - Cash flow projections over time - Revenue vs. expenses breakdown **Balance Sheet**: - Asset valuation over time - Liability tracking for financed equipment - Equity position evolution **Cost of Production**: - Cost to mine 1 BTC over time - Break-even price analysis - Operating expense trends ### Charts & Dashboard **URL**: https://learn.braiins.com/en/charts **Network Metrics**: - Bitcoin network hashrate distribution - Mining difficulty historical trends - Block subsidy and halving timeline - Transaction fee trends **Dashboard** (https://learn.braiins.com/en): - Real-time BTC price (USD) - Current network statistics - Quick links to calculators and charts ## Usage Example ### Basic Profitability Calculation 1. Navigate to https://learn.braiins.com/en/profitability-calculator 2. Configure inputs: - **Hashrate**: 100 TH/s (e.g., Antminer S19 Pro) - **Consumption**: 3250 W - **Electricity Price**: $0.06/kWh - **BTC Price**: $87,689 (current) - **Network Difficulty**: 148,258,433,855,481 (current) - **Block Subsidy**: 3.125 BTC (current epoch) 3. Review metrics: - Check break-even months - Analyze profitability at current conditions - Project future earnings with difficulty/price changes ### Advanced Scenario Modeling 1. Enable **Advanced Options**: - Set **Difficulty Increment**: 5%/year (conservative estimate) - Set **Price Increment**: 10%/year (bullish scenario) - Account for pool fees: 2% 2. Enable **Debt Financing** (if applicable): - Enter equipment loan amount - Set interest rate and term - Review monthly payment impact on cash flow 3. Compare scenarios: - Switch between USD and BTC break-even views - Analyze sensitivity to electricity price changes - Model halving impact with difficulty drop assumptions ## Quick Reference ### Calculator Shortcuts - **User Guide**: Click "User Guide" button for in-app help - **Share**: Generate shareable link to current calculation - **Currency Toggle**: Switch between USD and BTC display ### Key Assumptions - **Current Block Reward**: 3.125 BTC (post-April 2024 halving) - **Next Halving**: ~2028 (3 years from now) - **Average Block Time**: 10 minutes (~144 blocks/day) ### Profitability Rule of Thumb ``` Daily Revenue = (Hashrate / Network Hashrate) × 144 blocks × Block Reward Daily Cost = (Power Consumption / 1000) × 24h × Electricity Price Profitable if: Daily Revenue > Daily Cost ``` ## Related Braiins Tools - **Braiins Pool**: Mining pool for earning steady rewards (see braiins-pool skill) - **Braiins OS**: Firmware for optimizing ASIC miner efficiency - **Braiins Manager**: Fleet management for mining operations - **Braiins Toolbox**: Collection of mining utilities and tools ## Notes - **Platform Rebrand**: Formerly "Braiins Insights", now "Braiins Learn" - **Interactive Tool**: This is a web application, not static documentation - **Real-Time Data**: Calculator uses current network difficulty and BTC price - **Projection Accuracy**: Future projections depend on difficulty/price increment assumptions - **Educational Focus**: Platform includes links to blog, books, and learning resources - **No Authentication Required**: Calculator is publicly accessible - **Mobile Responsive**: Works on desktop and mobile browsers ## Limitations - **No Documentation Pages**: Platform is primarily an interactive tool, not narrative docs - **Dynamic Content**: All content is JavaScript-rendered (requires browser) - **No API Access**: Calculator is web-only (no programmatic API documented) - **Projection Uncertainty**: Future earnings depend heavily on BTC price and difficulty assumptions --- **Generated by Skill Seeker** | Interactive Tool Documentation **Last Updated**: 2025-12-28 **Platform URL**: https://learn.braiins.com **Status**: Interactive web application (not traditional documentation)
