Sol/s vs H/s are equal or not?

I have a Cpu currently giving me 760+ H/s, what would be this hash rate in Sol/s if I mine Zcash?

good question, always wondered.

I started with flypool, mining zcash but its showing 80 H/s, that is very low.

Depends.

Is your H/s measurement on equihash? (I highly doubt your CPU is capable of 760 sol/s on equihash.)

There's no reliable way to convert between mining performance across today's mining algorithms. (Back in the days where BTC and LTC dominated, we'd fudge factor and say a card mining at 1 MH/s on SHA256 would mine at around 1 KH/s on Scrypt. However, neither of those are good choices for GPU mining today.)

If they're on the same algorithm, then H/s and sol/s are often used synonymously, although technically for equihash sol/s is the "correct" term, since it is based on the generalized birthday problem.

No, my measurement is on cryptonight, before I was mining Etn but I just thought to check zcash if its more profitable. On 760+ Sol/s its gives good profit but I don't think 760+ h/s of cryptonight is equals to 760+ Sol/s.

Flypool is showing 80 H/s

You cannot take your hashrate on cryptonight and use it to calculate mining performance on another algorithm, such as equihash. The only reliable way to obtain that information is to do so experimentally. (CPU mining ZEC is generally not worth it, anyways.)

Your CPU probably mining cryptonite algorithm

Currently, CPU is not a way to go when it comes to mining most of the time


H/s used to count how many hashes per second your device can solve or produce, sol/s is only used for equihash algo which is much different than any algorithm around


And you cannot correlate algorithm hash speed for the other algo it alwasy will be different.

H/s will be significantly higher than sol/s. For example, my 6x 1060 3gb rig gives around 3050 h/s and 1800 sols/s, or around 510 h/s and 300 sols/s per card.

you cant really compare H/s to Sol/s as this is a different algo and number based.

Good point, something like a vegas will have crazy high h/s

Just because a Vega has a crazy high hash rate mining Cryptonight, doesn't mean that a hash rate of half that from an NVIDIA TI card mining Cryptonight is not accurate.  You can call them sol/s or h/s or whatever the hell you want.  If you're comparing two cards within the same algo, you are getting an accurate comparison as far as the number goes.  Make your comparisons within the same algo and you'll be fine.
