<p>I am sorry if the question is off-topic but cannot find an answer to a simple question anywhere including btctalk.</p>

<p>So let's say a network hashrate of some coin using the X16R algorithm is 40 MH/s.  What happens if I start to mine with 2 8x1080 Ti rigs giving me about 200-220 Mh/s? </p>

<p>How can I calculate the percentage of total coins I get in 24h? </p>

Suppose total number of coins mined in 24h is 7 million.

This depends on the altcoin-specific mining implementation. However, assuming a mining model like Bitcoin, which runs on proof-of-work, you'd get the majority of coins mined in any given day if you have a higher hashrate than the rest of the network combined.
