IHS price calculator

This calculator can be used to estimate the future price of Infinity Hash Stacks (IHS).

IHS price estimate

BTC-Price:

USD-Price:

Results are a price estimate and may differ a lot, based on changing outside conditions like mining difficulty, downtime and others. Any values, estimates, or figures are only indicative and are not intended to be relied upon for legal, financial, or commercial decisions.

Where to get the data used in the calculator

  • Bitcoin price (USD): Check sites like coingecko.com or coinmarketcap.com
  • Last 24h reward (BTC): Take the last “Total Earnings” entry from the profit details page of the public Infinity Hash mining pool at ViaBTC
  • Energy cost 24h (USD): Head to our public electricity wallet on tronscan and switch to the “Transfers” tab. Take the amount of the last incoming, daily USDT transaction
  • Total IHS number: Take it from the Infinity Hash dashboard, the blog or one of the landing pages

Direct IHS price calculation

Direct price calculation refers to the calculation path that does not use yesterday’s price for smoothing or any other averaging technique. This is the method used in the IHS price calculator.

1.) Calculate the direct IHS price in USD:

price_direct = rewards_24h × 1095 total_IHS_nr × 2

2.) Ensure the selected price is not below the minimum sell price in USD. The IHS price in USD is:

price_today_usd = max ( price_direct , min_sell_price )

3.) The IHS price in BTC is:

price_today_btc = price_today_usd bitcoin_price

Here is an explanation of the static variables and where to get the data used in the calculation:

  • rewards_24h: Go to our public reinvest wallet on tronscan and switch to the “Transfers” tab. Take the amount of the last incoming, daily USDT transaction. Since reinvest and profits are the same (both 50% of everything left after electricity costs), the reward amount is the same as the last incoming USDT transaction.
  • 1095: This is simply 3 times 365 days. 3 years is our recommended investment horizon for the project.
  • total_IHS_nr: The total number of Infinity Hash Stacks in circulation. You can find this number on the website in our weekly updates and in the dashboard.
  • bitcoin_price: Check sites like coingecko.com or coinmarketcap.com (use the USD price).
  • min_sell_price: The minimum selling price for new Infinity Hash Stacks is $2.00 (USD).

Full IHS price calculation

The full IHS price calculation takes into account smoothing using yesterday’s price to prevent the IHS price from dropping too quickly. This is the same full calculation used for the actual selling price of new Infinity Hash Stacks in the dashboard. It only differs from the direct IHS price calculation above if the price falls relative to yesterday’s IHS price.

1.) Calculate the direct IHS price in USD:

price_direct = rewards_24h × 1095 total_IHS_nr × 2

2.) Calculate the direct IHS price in BTC:

price_direct_btc = price_direct bitcoin_price

3.) Calculate the smoothed IHS price in BTC:

price_smooth = price_yesterday × 29 + price_direct_btc 30

4.) Choose the direct or the smoothed price, based on whether yesterday’s or the direct price is higher:

intermediate_price_btc = { price_direct_btc , if ⁠ price_direct_btc ≥ price_yesterday price_smooth , otherwise }

5.) Ensure the selected price is not below the minimum sell price in BTC. The IHS price in BTC is:

price_today_btc = max ( intermediate_price_btc , min_sell_price bitcoin_price )

6.) The IHS price in USD is:

price_today_usd = price_today_btc × bitcoin_price

Explanation of additional variables needed for the full IHS price calculation:

  • price_yesterday: Yesterday’s IHS price (in Bitcoin!). You can currently view it in the IHS price chart on the main dashboard page.
  • 29 and 30: We wanted to create a 30-day MA-like effect. For temporary downtime and other minor problems, the IHS price shouldn’t move too much. If the project takes too long to recover from operational challenges, the IHS price should reflect that. The same goes for a long-term falling Bitcoin prices.

IHS price calculation FAQ

Why is there a minimum selling price?

We have a minimum selling price for new Infinity Hash Stacks because, at some point, ASICs (Bitcoin mining machines) won’t get any cheaper due to production costs (even if the Bitcoin price were to go down a lot). We update the minimum selling price for new IHS via community votes regularly to protect existing IHS holders from a sudden crash in the IHS price, which would allow new investors to dilute the actual hash rate per IHS due to extremely low IHS prices and thus “steal” the hash rate from existing investors.

Is the P2P marketplace affected by the minimum selling price?

Not really. On the P2P marketplace, community members can buy and sell IHS via limit orders. The seller sets the price for selling his IHS, which is not affected by the current price for new Infinity Hash Stacks. The only thing we added is a user protect, which hides offers on the P2P marketplace if their price is higher than the current official price for new IHS. This way, we protect unsuspecting users from paying an unnecessary premium.

Why the artificial smoothing of falling IHS prices?

On the one hand, we added the smoothing described in 3.) and 4.) of the full IHS price calculation path to the price model to ensure that 1 or 2 days of downtime due to power outages or other temporary problems wouldn’t completely crash the IHS price. On the other hand, we wanted to mimic the cost of actual new mining machines, which follows Bitcoin’s price with a few minutes delay when Bitcoin is going up but takes a week or more to come back down after Bitcoin itself has gone down. This ensures fair prices for new and existing IHS holders while keeping the calculation transparent and predictable.
