Understanding ETC Mining with Ethash Algorithm
Ethereum Classic (ETC) utilizes the Ethash proof-of-work algorithm, which is ASIC-resistant and favors GPU mining. This calculator estimates profitability based on current network conditions:
- Block Time: 15.00 seconds
- Block Reward: 2.048 ETC
- Network Hashrate: 244.38 TH/s
- Mining Difficulty: 3.43 PH

FAQ Section
How accurate are these projections?
Estimates assume constant network conditions. Real-world returns depend on:
- Hardware efficiency
- Pool fees (PPS rewards shown)
- Local electricity costs
What’s the best miner for ETC?
GPU rigs offer flexibility, while ASICs like the Bitmain E9 provide higher hashrates. 👉 Explore mining hardware options
How often should I recalculate profitability?
Weekly, due to ETC’s difficulty bomb mechanism and market shifts.
Disclaimer: Results are theoretical. Always model scenarios with 10-20% difficulty increments for investment decisions.
