Difficulty factor – The more people are trying to mine Dash, the harder it becomes to actually mine it. This is due to difficulty – a metric that measures “how hard is it to mine?” at the current moment. This information is taken automatically from the Dash network, you do not need to change it.

Hash Rate – How powerful your miner is. The more Hash Rate it can produce, the higher your mining rewards will be. Normally you can get the Hash Rate of a specific miner from its manufacturer.

DASH/Block reward – How many Dash are distributed each time a successful block is mined. This information updates from time to time to keep the Dash money supply in check.

DASH/USD exchange rate – How much USD can you get for 1 DASH.

Pool fees – Usually miners group together into mining pools in order to increase their chances of successful mining. The pool takes a certain fee from the earnings.

Hardware cost – How much it cost you to buy your Dash miner.

Power – How much energy your miner consumes. This information should be supplied by the manufacturer.

Power cost – How much you are paying for a KiloWatt per hour of electricity in USD.


4. Conclusion

As Dash and cryptocurrencies in general become more popular, Dash mining has moved from a being hobby to a profession.

While you can make a profit from mining Dash you’ll need the right setup and virtually free electricity source. Profitable mining operations are usually set up in cool locations where electricity is cheap or free of charge.
