4.59 MHash/s

question is what kind of data has been hashed?
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Someone (you or a pool) generates a block and a partial header for that block.  That partial header is sent to your mining system.  The miner completes the header by hashing the initial part of it.  If the result of that hashing is low enough, it gets sent back up the chain and becomes either a share in your pool, or a block in the chain.

I routinely ignore posters with paid advertising in their sigs.  You should too.
