Bitcoin runs on a Proof of Work system, and mining plays a key role in it. Miners fire up their rigs (mostly ASICs these days) to mine blocks and validate transactions, usually aiming for profit in the short or long run.
To figure out the potential earnings from mining, they typically rely on Bitcoin mining profit calculators.
I’m excited to share what might be one of the first Bitcoin mining calculator tools out there. The link is here: https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator. If I’m mistaken about it being the first, feel free to let me know!
This tool has been around since 2010 and is still kicking today!
You can check out how it looked back in 2010 using this archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20100923185820/https://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php.
Here's how the calculator appears as of December 2023.
Hello Bitcoin miner gurus.
I discovered about that Bitcoin mining calculator tool that I think it is a first tool for it. If you are senior Bitcoin miners and know about any tool that was built and launched earlier that this one, please help me with information you know.
there are several, I don't remember the name of the one that had the difficulty graph and calculated the ROI for the indicated period based on the average difficulty trend.
whattomine.com isn't bad either.
I am not a Bitcoin miner and did not know about Bitcoin in 2010 or 2011, my research led to that Bitcoin Mining Calculator, with Wayback machine, it was launched circa 2010.
The Kano's Mining calculator you shared was launched circa 2011, one year after https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator, according to Wayback machine.
This is its earliest snapshot in September 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/20110929172153/http://tradebtc.net/bitcalc.phpThis calculator possibly was launched months before that snapshot time.
Note on my interest in this thread: I need help to get information about any Bitcoin Mining Calculator that was launched before the one shared in OP.
Thanks Kano for this confirmation that matches with information I got from Wayback Machine and I shared this in a previous post as well.

So far, it seems the Bitcoin mining calculator tool shared in OP is a first one in Bitcoin history.

BTC will never stop being mined, transactions will always need to be included in blocks, and when BTC won't have any block rewards left, miners rewards will be the transaction fees only.

I think if you'd used a more generic name you would be more likely to get people to click on your link.
As it stands it just looks like the sort of link that would give windows users a coronary just thinking about.
Site looks ok though. Might want to add a free letsencrypt cert to allay some web browsers paranoia about non ssl sites.
