Virtual Machine Mining Help


How are my earnings calculated?

When your mining power goes to the NiceHash pool, you earn BTC for every share your virtual miners deliver, at the index price in BTC/EH/day.

E = P × H × t

where E is what you earn in BTC, P the index price in BTC/EH/day, H the hashrate your shares deliver in EH/s, and t the time in days. For example, the Rig 30d package mines at about 1,275.72 TH/s for 30 days. At an index price of 0.4763 BTC/EH/day it earns:

E = 0.4763 × 0.00127572 × 30 = 0.01823 BTC

This is the estimated earnings shown in the package details before you buy.

  • The index price is updated every minute, so your earnings follow the Bitcoin network.
  • Earnings are paid in BTC to your NiceHash wallet every 4 hours. When a package ends, earnings not yet paid out are paid right away. You can follow them in the package details.
  • After payout you hold BTC, so the value of your earnings moves with the BTC price.
Note: This applies only when the pool is set to NiceHash. With your own pool, NiceHash pays no earnings, and your pool pays you under its own rules.
