Title: Mining ETH - How do you determine your real Hash Speed?
Post by: eightbits on April 01, 2016, 02:56:44 PM
I'm playing with mining ETH and the client written in C.  The output shows I'm mining at 10.3 Mh/s and I contribute to  the Suprnova pool.  The pool says I mine at 16Mh/s and goes up to 27Mh/s.  I can't figure out if Suprnova is wrong (when I mined other currencies in the past it seemed accurate) or if the client is under reporting.  How do you guys determine your real hash speed?

The hash rate displayed on your local PC is more stable. The one displayed by pool is calculated by the share you submit.

Yea if you overclock it, it can change unstable. What program you use, im intersted too in your project
Can u put link in forum?  :)

Just be sure not to overclock and compare your rates to what other pools get constantly.

Sure I use a CUDA minor in Windows now for experimenting.  Here is a guide but, you can google around and find more info:

I'm running this on my gaming rig with one Nvidia EVGA GTX960. In one day I've mined $2.77 which is about $81/month at the current price.  It is profitable currently even after electricity.  I might just buy some more GPU's and build up a rig soon.  I figure even if the price crashes I can always sell cards on Ebay to get some money back.

Don't buy cards on Ebay,it's about the same price to get new cards at the moment  :(

I did & got a defective one,took over a week to return & lost 15% on a restock fee..........

Got a new Sapphire 380 (22 mhs) for $199 with 3 day ship from Newegg,couldn't be happier  ;D

That is right. The second hand card price is quite high in Ebay or Amazon. I buy new cards now from retailers.

this one was awesome I seen that possibility to still ear from mining come from here thank you mate for sharing this one, I'm currently looking for this tuts and how eth can still prof. good luck and just keep mining eth still have good future.

Most importantly drop the voltage and run them cool, its better to have a board give you long life then to fry it and end up with no resale value.  Besides overclocking as ive seen does not give much more hash, certainly not worth it in my opinion.

Every once in a while you can find a good deal on ebay, I found a 7950 for $65 shipped but it is very rare...if you do id jump on it.  If the board is DOA then file a complaint through paypal that way you get all your money back.

the pool display only an estimate it's not accxurate, the real one is always the one you see in the miner

22 MH/s is more expensive to buy example in data cloud

I will not say the name of the service. But it is cheaper to build yourself! :)

81 dollars is many grams of gold.  ::)

Pools calculate your hashrate based on number of submitted shares, as they never trust clients =)
The problem is ethereum miner works unstable with easy shares, so all the pools use a difficult shares. Often it is a static difficulty.

You can try to mine on nanopool.org - it shows both hashrates: reported and calculated, as well as number of accepted shares.

This question about mining hash rates plagued me as well.  I recently switched back to Dwarf pool from Ethpool solo. I installed the Ethproxy downloads found on Dwarf..  That program shows your, transmitting Hasrate after every share send. I also boosted my hasrate by about 15% using their proxy along with farm-recheck and global switchs in the command line.

It is for now,how long,no one knows  ;)

I had 3 PC's left over & a 7970 (sold 2 6950's & 1 5870,bought the 380 4gig with that) from mining BTC back in 2011-2012 & they paid for themselves way back then  ;D

The 380 4gig I just got should pay for itself in 2 months or less  8)
