Dash mining fotmula

Hi,

Say given a hash rate of 1000MH/s, difficulty = 303000, block reward = 1.8, block time = 156.

What is the estimated amount of dash mined in one hour.

I am aware of websites that offer calculations, however, these don't show the formula used for that.

I guess for BTC mining you can approximate mined coins using

amount_btc = 60 * 60 * block_reward * hashrate / (difficulty * 2^32)

The average block time is about 2.5 minutes (the difficulty and hash rate averages this equilibrium)
Current block reward is 1.8 dash to miners (45%), 1.8 dash to masternodes (45%) = 3.6 dash
(3.6 dash block reward / 2.5 minutes per block ) * 60 minutes per hour = 86.4 dash per hour. Or 96 dash per hour if you include the 10% for the budget which is paid monthly

Thanks for the explanation. Right, 86.4 dash per hour is distributed to miners.The network hash rate now is 9.7TH/s , as such a hashrate of 1000MH/s should give the miner 86.4 * 1000e6/9.7e12 = 0.0087 dash per hour

is this correct?

Oh you mean dash per hashrate hour (as opposed to all miners in the aggregate)? Yes that's the right idea -- but slash that final number in half, because half of that 86.4 goes to masternodes.
 
cut that back again because it turns out that the actual number of blocks found in a day is not 576 (60/2.5 x 24) but rather closer to 550.
