Title: What does Mh/s stand for?
Post by: factotumjack on October 16, 2011, 07:48:09 PM
Newbie question here.

I see the unit of measurement Mh/s and Gh/s tossed around a lot, esp. with pools.  I've picked up that it's measuring collective processing power (number of solutions checked per second?), but what exactly is it?

Thanks.
