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.

Daily coins × USD price (refreshed every 10 minutes).
Power cost = (watts ÷ 1000) × 24 × your USD/kWh rate. Pool fees = revenue × pool fee.

The Zcash (ZEC) price has once again stayed in negative territory today after recording a robust run over the past few months. Notably, the recent decline could be attributed to a topsy-turvy scenario in the broader crypto market. Amid this, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss said that the privacy coin is still likely to be in The post Gemini Co-Founder Calls Zcash Still Early as ZEC Becomes Top Choice for Laundering appeared first on CoinGape .
TL;DR: Charles Schwab is expanding its direct Bitcoin and Ethereum services, including phased external wallet transfers. The move brings digital asset ownership further into the company’s conventional brokerage experience. Charles Schwab is moving its cryptocurrency service closer to the features customers expect from a dedicated digital asset platform. The brokerage has been rolling out direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to eligible clients, and its latest account documentation explains how approved customers can transfer supported assets to and from external wallets. For Schwab, that is a meaningful step beyond providing market exposure inside an investment account. Buying Crypto Is Only The Beginning Brokerage customers increasingly want to decide whether to hold digital assets with a financial institution or move them to another approved custody arrangement. Schwab’s transfer functionality is being introduced in phases. Users must meet identity verification requirements and may encounter security checks and waiting periods for approved wallet addresses. The platform also continues to distinguish cryptocurrency from conventional insured bank deposits. The value of Bitcoin and Ethereum is not protected by FDIC insurance merely because the assets are held through a Schwab service. As NewsBTC reported when Schwab introduced direct crypto trading, the rollout has been deliberately gradual. Traditional Brokerages Become Serious Rivals Schwab already has millions of brokerage relationships and well-established infrastructure. Adding cryptocurrency ownership makes those relationships increasingly valuable in a market where digital asset exchanges are competing with conventional financial firms. The company has also discussed expanding its supported assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The wider trend is clear: investors are increasingly being offered cryptocurrency services through the same institutions they use for stocks and other financial products. The competitive question is no longer simply whether traditional brokerages will support cryptocurrency. It is how much of the customer experience they intend to control.

TL;DR: An October 8 Public Citizen report links corporations and individuals benefiting from cancelled federal enforcement actions to approximately $210.5 million in donations and pledges to Trump-aligned political committees. Major cryptocurrency companies feature among the reported contributors. A report examining corporate political donations and changes to federal enforcement has placed several major cryptocurrency businesses under renewed public scrutiny. Consumer advocacy organisation Public Citizen said companies and individuals connected to beneficiaries of cancelled or curtailed enforcement actions had contributed or pledged roughly $210.5 million to Trump-aligned political committees. The research, originally published October 8, includes cryptocurrency firms such as Crypto.com and Gemini. It should not be described as a brand-new October 16 investigation. The Crypto Industry’s Political Spending According to the report, Crypto.com-associated contributions included $35 million to MAGA Inc. and another $2 million to a separate Trump-aligned committee. Public Citizen also examined contributions involving Gemini and the Winklevoss brothers, alongside regulatory matters affecting the exchange. The watchdog argues that the scale of political spending deserves attention, particularly where companies also benefit from changes in how government agencies pursue enforcement. But political contributions are not proof of an illegal arrangement. The report does not establish that the named donors purchased specific regulatory decisions. A Broader Political Debate The cryptocurrency industry has become increasingly involved in Washington, advocating for clearer legislation and a more predictable business environment. NewsBTC has previously reported on substantial cryptocurrency political contributions, part of a larger push to influence rules affecting exchanges, stablecoins and token issuers. Supporters of those efforts argue that previous regulation created unnecessary uncertainty. Critics say large corporate donors may enjoy disproportionate access to policymakers. Public Citizen’s findings add to that debate while leaving the central legal distinction intact: correlation between donations and enforcement outcomes does not establish corruption.

Vitalik Buterin says Bitcoin mining cost splits 50/50 between hardware and power, while AI inference runs almost entirely on hardware. The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Why AI Could Push Bitcoin Miners Out appeared first on BeInCrypto .
Mining difficulty is Bitcoin's automatic adjustment mechanism that keeps block times stable. At 126.23T as of August 2026, it determines how hard it is to mine each block. Here is exactly how the system recalibrates every two weeks.
Mining pool payouts determine exactly how much you earn for every hash you contribute. This guide covers PPS, PPLNS, and Proportional methods with live Bitcoin numbers so you can pick the method that matches your strategy.
A mining pool combines the computing power of many miners so everyone shares in the block rewards proportionally. Solo mining is essentially lottery ticket math that nobody wins at anymore.

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.
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.
Bitcoin (BTC) is $81,554 USD on CoinWarz (updated Oct 17, 21:12 UTC). The SHA-256 network difficulty is 140.58T with an estimated hashrate of 1.03 ZH/s. The current block subsidy is 3.125 BTC per block (~10 minute target block time).
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.
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.
USD prices are fetched from the CoinGecko public API every 10 minutes and stored in the CoinWarz database.
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.
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.
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.
