Dash Mining Calculator
Network Data
How to use the calculator
Select your Dash model at the top of the widget, for example from the Antminer D9 series, or enter hashrate and power draw in watts manually. Then enter your actual electricity price per kilowatt-hour - this is the lever with the greatest influence on the result. The calculator then shows you the estimated daily revenue in DASH and euros, the electricity cost, and the break-even electricity price, i.e. the threshold up to which a device is calculated to be in profit. All figures are a calculation example with no guarantee, based on current network data from Cryptohall24's own network monitoring, updated daily - hashrate and price change continuously, so every calculation is a snapshot, not a promise of future earnings.
What determines Dash earnings
Dash is mined with the X11 algorithm, a chain of eleven hash functions run in sequence; specialised ASICs include the Antminer D9 series. Your share of the earnings results from the ratio of your own hashrate to the network hashrate, multiplied by the miner share of the block reward and the current price. How the network hashrate itself develops is explained on the Dash network hashrate page.
Masternodes: why miners don't receive the full block reward
With Dash, the block reward is split: miners receive only part of it, while the rest goes to the network's masternodes and a treasury system. For the calculation in the calculator, this means only the miner share flows into the earnings figure - not the full block reward as with coins that have no masternode structure. This share is already factored into the calculation, so you don't need to make any additional adjustment in the calculator.
Mining at home or with hosting
Whether a Dash miner pays off depends mainly on the electricity price. Mining at home is possible with an efficient device and cheap energy, such as surplus solar power; at typical German household electricity prices, the numbers quickly get tight - also because of operating noise and waste heat in a living space. For professional operation outside your own four walls, Cryptohall24 hosts Dash ASICs from the Antminer D9 series in its own partner data centres. Simply enter the electricity price relevant to you in the calculator to run your own scenario. More on this under mining hosting at Cryptohall24.
