Title: ? Formula to Calculate Share calc speed given Hash rate / diff? Post by: Fuzzy on February 09, 2012, 08:00:11 PM I need to figure out how to calculate how many shares I'll submit with my 3.1 GHs in 24 hours. Anyone know the formula?
Title: Re: ? Formula to Calculate Share calc speed given Hash rate / diff? Post by: twmz on February 09, 2012, 08:59:14 PM The average amount of time (in seconds) to find a single share is:
Code: difficulty * 2^32 / hashrate In that equation, difficulty is the difficulty of a share and hashrate is your hash rate in hashes per second. A day has 86,400 seconds in it, so the number of shares you'll find in 24 hours is: Code: 86,400 / (difficulty * 2^32 / hashrate) Title: Re: ?

Post by: Fuzzy on February 09, 2012, 11:47:11 PM the number of shares you'll find in 24 hours is: Code: 86,400 / (difficulty * 2^32 / hashrate) EDIT: Somethings not right there: Using 1,400,000 for difficulty, and 3,200,000,000 hashes (3200 Mhash) I get 0.045980726 shares??? in Excel: Code: =86400/(1400000*(2^32)/3200000000) THANKS! I feel I need to add "If you're going for that degree of accuracy, it should be noted that difficulty 1 does in fact not correspond to 2^32 hashes, but to 2^48/65535 (4295032833 instead of 4294967296). – Pieter Wuille Sep 17 '11 at 12:21" Title: Re: ? Formula to Calculate Share calc speed given Hash rate / diff? Post by: deepceleron on February 11, 2012, 07:29:29 PM The difficulty of a share is 1. It takes ~2^32 hashes on average to find a share.
How many shares per day at 3.2Ghash/s: 2^-32 shares/hash * 3.2*10^9 hash/sec * 86400 sec/day = 64372.0 shares/day How many BTC per day at difficulty 1379647: 64372 shares/day * (1/1379647) blocks/share * 50.0 BTC/block = 2.3329 BTC/day (all calculations done with more precision than I've shown.) I'm starting to think I've already answered every question that can be asked...https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=21541.msg272356#msg272356 (and interesting that the difficulty is the same as it was back in June). |
