[MinerGate] Need help understanding Hashrates

[UltraFRS]

Hello Folks, I've recently downloaded software called MinerGate to utilize my desktops power while I'm not using it.

On some coins being mined in MinerGate I'm getting really high hash rates but in other coins my hash rate is extremely low, I'll provide an example:

ETH: CPU Only Mining (gpu mining not supported for ETH in MinerGate, not sure if it's utilized in mining ETH in general) // 420KH/s.
ETC: CPU Only Mining (as above) // 430KH/s
XMR: CPU & GPU Mining // 150H/s & 430H/s respectively
AEON: CPU & GPU Mining: 730 H/s & 830 H/s respectively
ZCASH: CPU & GPU Mining: 23 Sol/s & 230 Sol/s respectively (I have no idea what a Sol/s is)

If I had the same hashrate I get on ETH and ETC on XMR/AEON/ZCASH instead then I would actually make a profit but as it stands I have -100E-7% profit on ETC/ETH and -100E-02% on XMR/AEON/ZCASH.

Maybe I'm just stupid but shouldn't you be able to get the same hashrate on all or reasonably close to each other?

Indeed. The hashrate is completely dependant on the crypto algorithm being mined, and each algo produce completely different results in speed, some you see measured in hash per second, while others in kilo or mega hash per second.

Currently CPU mining is unprofitable or nearly useless. Perhaps with the likes of monero you could earn 1¢ or something in a month. GPU mining is a tiny little bit better but generally useless at this point in time.

It is absolutely worthless for Bitcoin, and you posted this message in the wrong section, and should move it into Mining (Altcoins). This area is for discussion about Bitcoin, this is a Bitcoin forum and anything not bitcoin goes into Altcoin or its sub forums.

To op you are not stupid. You are untrained. You need to be in the altcoin section. As that software is all alt coin.

As for varied hashrates for different al-gore-rhythms (al invented the internet) yes that is a fact.  The different coins have multiple mining rates.  There is a lot of info on my gpu threads in altcoin section of the forum.

Because so many folks take what is said here and elsewhere on the 'net as Fact, even in humor, please do not spread that urban myth. He had absolutely nothing to do with it's creation (by DARPA) nor its explosive entry into the commercial and private sectors.

That said, ja, when ran on the same hardware all the different algos will produce different hash rates because they are processing different information in different ways and at different levels of diffficulty.

Sorry  was being sarcastic.  I have a quote  that is real  and the rumor was caused by a distortion of this quote.
