Title: Trying to understand Excavator Screen Post by: BigMike71 on September 27, 2021, 07:40:38 AM Hello, I'm Mike.
I've been mining for about 2 weeks and just want to learn more about mining in general and what I am looking at on my screen. I have 1 rig set up with 3- RTX3090 cards, and I have it mining with HiveOS. I have 2 computers, one with a 1660 and the other with a 1070TI and an RTX3090, and those are mining on Nicehash. My question is regarding my Nicehash Excavator screen. I will attach the photo with the questions in it. Any help from you would be very much appreciated as I want to learn more about all of this. Thanks! https://ibb.co/k6xFnQF Title: Re: Trying to understand Excavator Screen Post by: nullama on September 29, 2021, 03:43:43 AM Hello Mike,
Here are the answers to the questions in the image provided: Quote What does "diff=0.478178" mean? diff=0.478178 is the current difficulty for mining. The lower this number, the easier it will be for your miner to get accepted shares. Usually this number will be changed over time by nicehash to have a reasonable difficulty for your hardware (not too easy and not too difficult). Quote What does "clean" mean? When a new job is provided with a clean flag it means that the miner needs to stop mining any previous jobs and start mining the new job announced instead. If the miner ignores this clean flag and continues mining any old job, the share will end up as rejected, or stale when submitted.Quote Why, after a "Share" is accepted, is there sometimes multiple white lines afterwards, and sometimes just one or two white lines after? The white lines are new jobs sent from nicehash to your miner.Once your miner receives a job it starts trying to solve it. Once it solves the job, the miner sends a share to nicehash. That's the green line (share accepted). As the solving of each job can take a long or short amount of time, nicehash can send any number of jobs(white lines) in between these green lines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining_pool The most important value that affects your profit is the number of shares caught. The rest of the values are not so important, but the more you read about the work of mining pools, the more questions you will have :) |
