This one is nice because it's super simple, yet contains all that you need. Doesn't get updated daily, but it's not bad.

This one is the best.

Veldspar or Scordite as far as hi sec ores are concerned highest fetching atm Kernite, but good luck finding enough to make it worthwhile to mine.

Any .. but first get both your toons into retrievers or macks.. you'll make 3 times what you'll make with your current setup..

Veldspar is the best if you are only going to mine a single ore.

There are other high sec ore worth more. The best is always changing. A couple months ago it was scordite now it is Kernite, but added value is not enough to justify the time wasted moving around to find them. Veldspar is available everywhere in large quanities. The slight reduction in value is made up for by higher yield due to less moving around chasing the next rock.

If you only want to know the highest value high sec rock. today it is Kernite at 249 isk/m3 while the lowest is veldspar at 187isk/m3. But it changes constantly.

I use Cerlestes.de for my prices. It is based on the mineral value after refining, not the raw ore value. you can set your own user name and settings. set your refining yield, m3 batch size, etc. And save it to a profile. I noemally have it set to 27500m3 the size of a jetcan. it gives a good reference. But you can set it for what ever size tyou want. You roe hold size for the ship you use, your estimated m3 mining yield per hour, what ever you like. And set it to your refining yield and it will tell you what that volume is worth at your refining skills. At the bottom it even gives you a chart of what minerals are selling for at each major trade hub. On top of that it does the same thing on another tab for ice and ice products. it is one of the most used ore reference sites for EVE.

actually, it's not. veldspar is still terrible even if you have t2 crystals. mining kernite with t1 strips is more isk/hour.

No it is not. It is the most valuable at the moment but the slightly higher price does not make up for the added time you spend moving around and switching targets. Veldspar is abundant everywhere.

Kernite is the highest isk/m3 but if there are only 1/2 dozen kernite rocks per belt how much time do you waste moving around. Every belt is at least 60% veldspar. less moving and retargeting means more m3 per hour.

If you are only cherry picking a load or two then sure, mine the most valuable ore. But if you are a serious miner, mining several hours at a time, you WILL make more mining veldspar. The rocks are bigger and far more abundant. you will spend less time switching targets ad moving within range of the next tiny high value rock. At the end you will have mined enough additional veldspar to more than make up for the slight loss in isk/m3. it is isk/hour you really need to look at, and not potential yield but your actual yield per hour.

Kernite is only worth about 15% more than veldspar the other ores are even less difference. You WILL lose far more than 15% efficiency cherry picking then you will striping the whole belt, or focusing on veldspar.

That Michi chip is just too ridiculously expensive to even risk using imho.

But hte information is indeed accurate for the ISK/hour of the moment.

Assuming max boosts + skills + everything possible and yielding 40m isk/hour which is pretty high, you will get 2M isk/hour from the 5% implant which will take 790 hours to pay off, so yeah, pretty useless. It would take over 1 year just to pay off.
