Is GoMining profitable? How to work out net mining rewards

How GoMining net rewards are calculated: pool rewards minus electricity and service fees, how efficiency, discounts, BTC price and halvings change the result.

01

The formula GoMining uses

GoMining’s documentation calculates your daily net reward as the pool reward minus maintenance fees: Net reward = Pool reward − (Electricity + Service) × (1 − Discounts). The pool reward is what your share of computing power (TH) mined that day.

  • Gross rewards alone overstate what you keep.
  • Look at a week of net rewards in your account rather than a single good day.
02

Efficiency drives the electricity fee

Electricity is charged by energy efficiency in watts per terahash (W/TH). GoMining’s example: an 8 TH miner at 20 W/TH and $0.05 per kWh costs about $0.19 a day in electricity, while the same miner at 12 W/TH costs about $0.12.

  • GoMining says it uses an average electricity cost of $0.05 to $0.07 per kWh for the billing period.
  • Lower W/TH means a lower fee and a higher net reward from the same TH.
03

Why the BTC price cuts both ways

Fees are set in US dollars but deducted from BTC rewards at the day’s exchange rate. If the BTC price falls, the same dollar fee takes more of your BTC, so net rewards shrink faster than the price alone suggests.

  • A falling price, rising network difficulty and a halving can all reduce net rewards at once.
  • The next Bitcoin halving, expected around 2028, will halve pool rewards while fees stay the same.
04

Discounts and withdrawals

GoMining offers maintenance discounts of up to 20% when fees are paid with GOMINING tokens held in its wallet, depending on how many days of fees your balance covers. Holding tokens for a discount adds exposure to that token’s price.

  • At the time checked, BTC withdrawals required KYC and at least one miner created directly through GoMining.
  • Read the current reward and withdrawal rules before you buy.
05

Working out payback

Divide what you paid for the miner by its daily net reward in dollars to get a rough payback period. Then repeat it with a lower BTC price and after the next halving. If payback only works in the best case, the purchase depends on the price rising.

  • There is no guaranteed income or payback period, and resale is not assured.
  • Treat any calculator as an estimate based on today’s numbers.
