Mining this coin: FAQ
Is Aeternity mining profitable right now?
Aeternity is mined on GPUs (CuckooCycle). We track ASIC miners only, so we don't rank machines for it; one H earns about $0.0365 a day before power and pool fees at today's price.
How much does Aeternity mining earn per H?
About $0.0365 per H per day before electricity and pool fees, at today's price of $0.00603 and network hashrate of 2.6 kH/s. It moves with both.
How do Aeternity's block rewards and supply work?
Right now each block pays about 33.0 AE including fees, with a block every 3 minutes on average, about 15,913 AE a day. 385.11 million of the 536.31 million maximum are already out (72%).
What hardware mines CuckooCycle, and what matters when buying?
CuckooCycle is built to keep mining on graphics cards: it is memory-hard and changes its work so that fixed-function chips gain little. There are no mainstream ASICs for it, so GPU rigs (and sometimes CPUs) do the work, and profit depends on your cards, their power limits and your electricity price.
How do I start mining Aeternity?
You need GPUs that suit CuckooCycle (memory size matters for most GPU algorithms), mining software that supports it, an Aeternity wallet and a pool. Profit depends almost entirely on your electricity price, so check it against the earnings per H above before buying cards.
