It is a measure of how much power the network is consuming to be continuously functional to generate power.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDifficulty changes and so do the target hash of a block's header. To successfully mine a block, the miner will need to hash the header in such a way that the hash is less than or equal to the target. For instance, a target could be that the SHA-256 hash of a block\u2019s header must be a 256-bit alphanumeric string, and must start with 18 zeros. That will change when difficulty changes after a given number of blocks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHere are top 10 cryptocurrencies to mine according to expected profits per each day.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: 50%;\" align=\"right\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1dep1oii60\">1. Ethereum (ETH)<\/h3>\r\n<p>With a network hash rate of 226.20 TH\/s and the block reward is 3, the estimated coins you can mine in a day is around 0.0101 ETH. This adds to about $8.65 or $7.21 per day depending on the exchange rates. About $1.44 goes to electricity. <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMining ETH can therefore earn you a single BTC in 969.20 days.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: 50%;\" align=\"right\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1dep1oii61\">2. Ethereum Classic (ETC)<\/h3>\r\n<p>Ethereum Classic will earn you about $6.90 or $5.46 and about $1.44 for electricity in a single day of 24 hours. In other words, you get 0.3265\/0.3265 ETC in a day. It means you can get a Bitcoin in around 1,215 days. This is using a mining hash rate of 8.17 TH\/s and block reward of 4.<\/p>\r\n<p>ETC\u00a0 has a block time of 15 seconds just same as ETH.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: 50%;\" align=\"right\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1dep1oii62\">3. ZClassic (ZCL)<\/h3>\r\n<p>ZClassic (ZCL) has a block reward of 12.50 and its average block time (time to create a single block) is around 2.50 minutes. Mining ZClassic will earn you about 0.0728\/0.0786 coins or $5.39 per 24 hours after subtracting electricity costs. It means you earn a Bitcoin in 1,227 days.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: 50%;\" align=\"right\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1dep1oii63\">4. Bitcoin Gold (BTG)<\/h3>\r\n<p>You can earn around 0.0556\/0.0609 Bitcoin Gold (BTG) per day mining. This converts to around $4.80 after subtracting electricity costs. This is when using a hash rate of around 42.40 MH\/s. The block reward is 12.50 block time is 10.00 minutes. At that rate, it takes about 1,344 days to earn a single Bitcoin.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: 50%;\" align=\"right\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nbaseUrl = \"https:\/\/widgets.cryptocompare.com\/\";\r\nvar scripts = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\");\r\nvar embedder = scripts[ scripts.length - 1 ];\r\n(function (){\r\nvar appName = encodeURIComponent(window.location.hostname);\r\nif(appName==\"\"){appName=\"local\";}\r\nvar s = document.createElement(\"script\");\r\ns.type = \"text\/javascript\";\r\ns.async = true;\r\nvar theUrl = baseUrl+'serve\/v2\/coin\/chart?fsym=ZEN&tsym=USD&period=3M';\r\ns.src = theUrl + ( theUrl.indexOf(\"?\") >= 0 ? \"&\" : \"?\") + \"app=\" + appName;\r\nembedder.parentNode.appendChild(s);\r\n})();\r\n<\/script><\/div>\r\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1dep1oii64\">5.
