Methodology, formulas, and assumptions behind ELEKTRON analytics
Blockchain Analytics
Core blockchain metrics including hashrate calculation, difficulty adjustments, block time analysis, and supply curve projections.
Hashprice
Mining revenue per unit of hashpower. Understand how hashprice is calculated and what drives its fluctuations.
Mining Pool Analytics
Pool market share analysis, fee collection metrics, hashrate distribution, and pool performance comparisons.
Decentralization Metrics
Quantitative measures of network decentralization including HHI, normalized HHI, and the Nakamoto coefficient.
Mining Luck & Variance
Understanding mining variance, luck calculations, and how pool size affects expected vs actual block discovery.
Price Analysis
Return calculations, volatility metrics, drawdown analysis, and correlation with traditional assets.
ASIC Fleet Analytics
Comprehensive profitability analysis for all Bitcoin ASIC miners over time, including break-even periods, survival analysis, and manufacturer comparisons.
ASIC Price Index
Fair market value estimation for any ASIC based on efficiency. Log-linear regression model using Luxor Hashrate Index data across efficiency buckets.
| Data Type | Source | Update Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Blockchain data | Bitcoin Core full node (RPC) | ~10 minutes (new blocks) |
| BTC price | CryptoCompare API | Daily (historical), 10 min (current) |
| ASIC prices | Luxor Hashrate Index | Daily |
| Pool identification | Coinbase signature analysis | Per block |
| External assets | Yahoo Finance (yfinance) | Daily |
All calculations use high-precision floating point arithmetic. Displayed values are rounded for readability. Hashrate is always expressed in the most appropriate unit (EH/s for network, PH/s for pools/miners).
