This is a free BTCB2 mining calculator: a Bitcoin Blake2B mining profit calculator that turns your Blake2b-Sia hashrate, power draw and electricity rate into daily, monthly and yearly BTCB2 income, cost and profit at the live network hashrate and price. BTCB2 is a young chain whose hashrate is still settling, so re-check the figures before you commit hardware.
BTCB2 mining calculator What your Blake2b-Sia hashrate means on the BTCB2 network
The three cards below read your own hashrate, power and electricity rate and set them against the live BTCB2 network. Change an input at the top of the page and they follow.
Your hashrate divided by the whole network. Every block reward is split in this proportion, which is exactly what the daily coins figure in the table is.
The average wait if you mined alone and kept the full block reward. This is why almost everyone mines in a pool: the pool pays your share every day instead.
Daily electricity cost divided by daily coins mined: the price at which this exact rig earns zero. Below it you are paying to mine; above it the difference is your margin.
What is BTCB2, and what are you actually securing?
BTCB2, short for Bitcoin Blake2B and listed as XBT by some pools and exchanges, is a fork of Bitcoin. It keeps the Bitcoin ledger and the Bitcoin block reward, but it replaced SHA-256 with the Blake2b-Sia proof of work.
Blake2b-Sia is the hash that Siacoin ASIC miners were built for. That is why machines made for Siacoin can mine BTCB2 with no hardware change, and why a Bitcoin SHA-256 miner such as an Antminer S21 cannot mine it at all.
The switch pulled hashrate from idle Sia machines and from hashrate rental markets such as MiningRigRentals. Hashrate that arrives and leaves quickly makes difficulty move quickly too, so the profit row on this page is a snapshot of today, not a forecast.
The coin itself trades on a few small exchanges with thin liquidity. The price can move sharply, and a large sell order can move it further, which is why this page shows a break-even price and a stress test instead of a promise.
Plain Blake2b and Blake2b-Sia are different algorithms. A machine sold for plain Blake2b does not mine BTCB2, so look for Blake2b-Sia, the Siacoin hash.
BTCB2 mining profitability calculator The most you could pay per kilowatt-hour and still break even
Daily income divided by the kilowatt-hours this setup burns in a day. If your marker sits inside the coloured bar you are in profit at today's price and difficulty; the further left it sits, the more room you have when difficulty rises or the price falls.
Which ASIC should you run on BTCB2?
Every Blake2b-Sia machine can point at BTCB2, so the choice is not about compatibility, it is about efficiency. Divide the hashrate by the power draw: the machine that makes the most hash per watt keeps the most income after electricity.
The ten machines we track run from the small Goldshell SC-BOX to the iBeLink BM-S3 Plus. On cheap electricity an older, hungrier model can still pay; on an expensive tariff only the efficient ones stay above break-even, and the bar above shows where yours sits.
Our Blake2b-Sia page ranks all ten at your own electricity rate and counts whichever of BTCB2 and Siacoin pays more, so you do not have to rebuild that comparison by hand.
BTCB2 vs Siacoin mining on the same ASIC
The same Blake2b-Sia machine can earn in three different ways. Which one pays most changes with the market and with your electricity rate.
Mine BTCB2
You earn BTCB2 blocks at the live network difficulty. The upside is a young chain with fast-changing hashrate; the downside is a coin with a thin market that you may not be able to sell in size.
Mine Siacoin
You earn SC on an older network with deeper exchange liquidity. The income is typically steadier, and our miner pages already compare it with BTCB2 for you.
Rent your hashrate out
On MiningRigRentals you list the machine and a renter pays you a rental price, so the coin risk moves to the renter. Our miner pages show this as a separate row after the marketplace fee and never add it to the headline profit.
So the useful question is not whether BTCB2 is profitable in general, but which of the three pays most for your machine at your tariff today. This page answers the first, the Siacoin page the second, and the miner pages show the rental row.
What a rising BTCB2 difficulty does to this result
BTCB2 is young and its hashrate is still finding its level, so difficulty can step up fast when idle or rented machines arrive. The table applies a few plausible increases to today's figure.
The risks of mining a young, thinly traded coin
Liquidity
A block reward is worth what an exchange pays for it. On a few small venues, a month of rewards can be more than the order book absorbs.
Price
The price is the biggest unknown in every figure here. The break-even price card near the top shows how far it can fall before the machine earns less than its electricity.
Difficulty
Difficulty follows hashrate a step behind it. A wave of rented or returning machines lowers every rig's share, and the stress test above shows how much.
Chain security
A small chain on an algorithm with a rental market is easier to attack with rented hashrate than an established one. Expect exchanges and pools to ask for many confirmations before rewards can be spent.
Young infrastructure
Wallets, explorers and pools are new. Use a fresh address made for this chain, and confirm the address format with your pool before you point hardware at it.
Hardware price
Machines sold at a hype premium need the coin to hold its price for months just to repay themselves. Compare the machine price with the profit row before you buy.
How to mine BTCB2
Four steps from a Sia ASIC to a profit figure you can check.
Get a Blake2b-Sia miner
Use a machine built for Siacoin, such as an iBeLink BM-S3 Plus or a Goldshell SC model. Bitcoin SHA-256 miners and plain Blake2b machines do not work.
Choose a pool that lists BTCB2
Point the miner at a pool that supports BTCB2, which some pools label XBT, and follow that pool's own setup page for the address, port and worker name. Compare pools on our pool list.
Set a BTCB2 payout address
Create an address with a wallet that supports the BTCB2 chain, use a fresh one, and check with the pool that it expects that format before you start.
Check the profit
Enter your machine's hashrate and power and your electricity rate into the calculator at the top of this page, and look again as price and difficulty change.
Calculate your BTCB2 mining profit
Change the hashrate, power or electricity rate at the top of the page and every figure on this page updates with it. This BTCB2 mining calculator uses live network data on every load.

About BTCB2 mining and this calculator
Bitcoin Blake2B (BTCB2) is a fork of Bitcoin that keeps the Bitcoin ledger and block reward, but replaces SHA-256 with Blake2b-Sia as its Proof of Work algorithm. That is the hash used by Sia ASIC miners, so machines built for Siacoin that were sitting idle can point at BTCB2 without any hardware change, which is why the chain attracted hashrate from Sia miners and from hashrate rental markets. The daily income of a machine depends on the network hashrate it competes with and on the BTCB2 price, which trades on a few small exchanges with thin liquidity and can move sharply. Different exchanges and mining pools have used different tickers for the coin, among them BTCB2 and XBT. MinerCompare lists it next to Siacoin because both coins are mined by the same Blake2b-Sia machines, and the algorithm pages and miner pages use whichever of the two pays more.
