Mining Profit Calculator Redesign: SHA-256, New Interface, and AI Integration
2CryptoCalc received its biggest update yet. The entire calculator has been rebuilt with a new interface and several major additions.
- SHA-256 support. Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) mining calculations are now available — real-time price, network hashrate, block reward, and 24-hour profit estimates.
- New layout. Hardware is organized under four tabs: ASIC, NVIDIA, AMD, and Hashrate. You can add multiple devices, set quantities, and compare profitability across all supported coins in one view.
- More ASIC miners. Full Bitmain Antminer S19/S21 family (S21, S21+, S21 Pro, S21 XP, S21 XP Hyd, S23, S23 Hyd, T21), additional IceRiver KAS miners, Goldshell CKB models, and iBeLink/Innosilicon Equihash units.
- MCP server for AI. AI assistants can now query live mining data directly through a built-in MCP server — ask about profitability, compare devices, or get pool links in real time.

Bitcoin SOLO Mining on 2Miners: Pool Launched
We opened a BTC SOLO mining pool. Connect your SHA-256 hardware to solo-btc.2miners.com:2626, set the worker to your Bitcoin wallet address, and start mining.
This is a SOLO pool. If your miner finds a block, the full reward (3.125 BTC + transaction fees) goes directly to you. The pool provides the infrastructure — servers in Europe, US, and Asia with DDoS protection and low latency.
- Algorithm: SHA-256
- Pool Fee: 1.5%
- Minimum Payout: 0.05 BTC
- NiceHash: fully compatible

2Miners Stats App: Now on iOS and Android
The 2Miners Stats mobile app is officially out. After the beta testing phase in February, the app is now publicly available on both platforms.
- Real-time pool statistics: profitability, hashrate, shares, and worker activity
- Push notifications when workers go offline or come back online
- Block found notifications for solo pools
- Support for all coins and algorithms on 2Miners
- Multi-account management

Kaspa Mining Reward Decreased Again
As defined by the Kaspa Tokenomics, the Crescendo Hard Fork, and the official emission schedule, Kaspa underwent another scheduled block reward reduction in March.
- Previous Reward: 3.270 KAS
- New Reward: 3.086 KAS
Please pay attention! Kaspa mining profitability has changed. We have already updated 2CryptoCalc to reflect the new reward values.
