Title: Is it possible to get an accruate Mhash rate based on number of shares Post by: Xenland on June 08, 2011, 12:49:18 AM Believe me when I tell you, I know it sounds like a stupid question but seriously is it possible to get an accurate Mhash rate based on the share data pushpoold submits?
All my formulas come out accurate at first but once there its more or less workers they go off the charts in accurate! I've seen other pooling services make this mistake of inaccuate hashing scores mine are usually at a ~20 Mhash/s error rate, which might piss some new combing miners off when they come to find that they "Might" be making less Mhashes then their minors are reporting. So is it possible to get an accruate mhash rate with the following data per share submitted Fields: id | timestamp | username This is the last formula I attempted to use Most recent share submitted in time stamp Minus(-) First share submitted in round time stamp Equals = Total Time Connected TotalTimeConnected Divided By(/) Total Shares Subbmitted this round Equals = Failed horribly at accurate Mhash Rate.

NrOfShares / timeframe * 4294967296 That should be hashes per second if pushpool is rewriting difficulty to 1 But due to the nature of shares, I wouldn't call that accurate. It will always be more like a guess Title: Re: Is it possible to get an accruate Mhash rate based on number of shares Post by: Xenland on June 08, 2011, 02:37:26 AM I'm using s.th.

However, I do not know the current dificulty but it says it in the wiki.

Where time delta is the number of seconds you're reporting the hashrate average over. Title: Re: Is it possible to get an accruate Mhash rate based on number of shares Post by: Xenland on June 08, 2011, 08:43:36 AM So i used this formula and i got 8 hashes per second?
Update: I figured out i did the formula backwards but its still not even close? $hashesPerSecond = $numShares / $fiveMinutesAgo * 4294967296; The result is 16.345 Hahses/s but my miner runs as 85000 Khash/s UPDATE: I was using $fiveminutesago, and not the amount of time that has passed Title: Re: Is it possible to get an accruate Mhash rate based on number of shares Post by: M2Ys4U on June 09, 2011, 01:01:01 AM It will vary wildly. Using that formula, a 600 second time delta and approx 66MHash/s I get reports between 20MHash/s and 120MHash/s, but that's just statistical variance.
Title: Re: Is it possible to get an accruate Mhash rate based on number of shares Post by: Xenland on June 09, 2011, 02:34:09 AM It almost seems like we should use a Minutes Per Share graph instead of an Mhash graph since they are so unpredictably inaccurate.
