When I added my first SP20 here it takes a while to build up to the hashrate I usually see on other pools much faster.
I'm not complaining I want to understand.
Is it because I do not set a difficulty? Starting at 1k should be perfect for an SP20 and be right there at 1.3 1.6 however you have it setup.
I restored an S3, new used fans, re-pasted the chips, put it on the pool and local hashrate was straight to 450ish right away.
I try to pay attention and I know I've read the pool shows what matters. Does it truly take that long at any pool, do I have a poor connection, or something set wrong?
The 1 minute you see there means "rolling exponential average with 1 minute time constant" which means it gives you a more accurate estimate than grabbing just the last minute's shares and estimating a hashrate from them, but that also means if you start at zero it takes ~5 time constants to plateau meaning 5 minutes. The hashrate used as the accurate current hashrate on the website is the 5 minute time constant one so it takes even longer to rise. It does not mean your hashrate is less than on other pools during that time, it's just far more likely to give you an accurate estimate of hashrate. The per hashrate stats are now updated every minute on the website after one of the many changes recently added to both ckpool and ckdb instead of the old way which updated them every 10 minutes.
Specifically with the sp20, they go through a process of fine tuning each time they start as well so it takes them longer than S3s to get to their final hashrate.
