I tend to mine by jetcan. By working in a fairly backwater, dead-end systems, I can jetcan mine in relative privacy and without a lot of interference. This led to me calculating my yields and profits in terms that I could relate to. While I could count cycles of ore mined, I quickly lose track of which beams have cycled and how many times. It’s much easier to keep track of cans that I’ve completed.
At the end of the day I can easily tally how many cans I’ve mined and approximately how much it is worth. While I almost never have a can of only one type of ore, it much easier to make an approximate valuation based on complete can ore breakdowns.
I’ve added a list of ore values by jetcan to the sidebar on the left. These are calculated based on a 100% refine and a weighted average of prices for the refined minerals. Of note is that Scordite is currently the best of the cheap ores in high-sec and Jaspet is pretty much crap all-around.
