Hi every body,

I think some thing is not working fine. I have got a hd 7950 mining over 6xx.xx kh/s with cgminer, but at the statics pool (same happens with the two pools I tested) apears tha the worker is mining arround 14 kh/s.  Then i am reciving much less ltc than i expect.

Is it normal? May be something is wrong on may command line?

I just type: cgminer --scrypt -o "the pool" -u "the user" -p "the pass" --shares 1792 -I 19

Please help.

Most likely, the pool uses a payout formula which looks at shares submitted over the previous X rounds (this prevents something known as "pool hopping"), and also uses this measure to determine your guesstimated hashrate. So, if you just started mining at the pool, this could be the problem. Unlike CGminer, pools measure hash rate by the number of shares sent (while considering difficulty), so pool rates are more of a guesstimate, and has to be averaged over a fairly large number of submissions to get a reasonably accurate measurement.

If you've been mining at the pool for maybe 8+ hours, then there's something else going on.

ETA: Your pool probably has a tab on its website to show you the number of shares you've submitted in some time frame. You can observe CGMiner and see if the number of successful shares submitted equals out on both the pool site and the miner software.

Thanks for the reply.

Really I was reading about the pay out formula at the pool, it is PPLNS, and i could read the same reason you wrote about to prevent pool hopping.

I am just starting to mine, i have been mining for 3 hours, then i'll wait to see the results after one day mining.

Then, after one day mining, with my hd 7950 working at 6xx.xx Kh/s according to cgminer, I should get arround 0.5 ltc?

Yeah, around there. Probably a tenth or two more unless pool has bad luck.
