Title: Network hashrate calculation in altcoin wallets Post by: adversor on January 09, 2014, 11:35:50 PM I have recognized a strange behaviour of the calculation of the Nethashpower in the wallets, independent which coin. Maybe I'm wrong in my interpretation, but it looks strange to me:
After a difficulty change, the parameter "networkhashps" changes almost exactly with the same ratio than difficulty. I have tried to get the values at difficulty change within a few seconds at the release of Batcoin: 00:12:37 { "blocks" : 319, "currentblocksize" : 1000, "currentblocktx" : 0, "difficulty" : 0.25000000, "errors" : "", "generate" : false, "genproclimit" : -1, "hashespersec" : 0, "networkhashps" : 300347363, "pooledtx" : 0, "testnet" : false } 00:12:41 { "blocks" : 320, "currentblocksize" : 2354, "currentblocktx" : 6, "difficulty" : 1.00000000, "errors" : "", "generate" : false, "genproclimit" : -1, "hashespersec" : 0, "networkhashps" : 1198595524, "pooledtx" : 6, "testnet" : false } --> diff 0.25: "networkhashps" : 300347363 = 0.3003 GH/s --> diff 1: "networkhashps" : 1198595524 = 1.1986 GH/s (just 4 sec. later) 0.3003 * 4 = 1.2012 Same on all coins. ??? Does "networkhashps" mean the hashrate of total network or something else? |
