> Professional Bitcoin mining simulator with real historical data, 8 investment strategies, Monte Carlo analysis, and comprehensive ASIC catalog. Free tool by StartMining.

## What This Tool Does

StartMining Pro helps investors and miners:
- Calculate mining profitability with real-time market data
- Backtest ASIC performance on historical periods (2009-present)
- Compare 8 investment strategies over 48 months (mining vs DCA vs spot)
- Run Monte Carlo simulations for risk analysis
- Access a catalog of 75+ ASIC models with specs and efficiency ratings

## Key Features

### Calculator (/calculator)
Real-time mining profitability calculator. Input your ASIC specs, electricity cost, and get daily/monthly/yearly projections.

### Backtest (/backtest)
Simulate how any ASIC would have performed during historical periods. Test strategies like HODL vs daily sell vs threshold sell.

### 48-Month Projection (/strategies)
Compare 8 strategies side-by-side:
- Mining DCA, Mine & Hold, Mine & Burn (1 & 2)
- DCA & Hold (1 & 2), Buy Spot (1 & 2)

### Monte Carlo (/montecarlo)
Probabilistic analysis across 10,000 scenarios. Get P5/P50/P95 outcomes and probability of profit.

### ASIC Catalog (/asics)
75+ Bitcoin ASIC models with:
- Hashrate, power consumption, efficiency (J/TH)
- Current market prices and $/TH
- Hall of Fame: best performers by profitability days

### History (/history)
Complete Bitcoin mining history since January 2009:
- Price, difficulty, hashrate, hashprice
- Halving events and difficulty adjustments

### Network Stats (/network)
Live blockchain data:
- Block height, mempool, fees
- Pool distribution, recent blocks
- Next difficulty adjustment estimate
