I've been trying to figure it out. Google search for hours, but I can not find the answer.
When I GPU mine, my hash rates go from 400/hs to 2000/hs, depending on the coin. What determines this? Is there a calculation I can make per coin to predict what I get?
For then now the only thing I can do is actually start mining to find out the h/s.
Also, if I point a BTC miner to PPC, do I get the same h/s. So if an antminer is rate at 1/ghs for BTC, do I get the same for PPC?
Thanks in advance.
When you GPU mine, the hashrate is determined by the algorithm the coin uses for PoW. Monero hashrates are usually in H/s (a few hundreds) and Ethereum hashrates are usually in MH/s (millions of hashes a second), while bitcoin hashrates are usually in GH/s or TH/s.
A bitcoin miner (ASIC) can ONLY mine SHA256D coins. meaning the hashrate will be the exact same on all coins using SHA256D as the algorithm for POW. PPC (I assume it's Peercoin) is POS, meaning you cannot mine it, but only stake by buying the coins and keeping them in your wallet.
