Extreme Hashrate Fluctuations

[roxxas2]

Hey everyone,

I've been mining in Eclipse's pool (US) for a while and I've seen that my two systems' hashrates constantly fluctuate. Most of the time I'll get around ~500MH/s. Sometimes I'll refresh and see 1.00GH/s, then refresh once more and get ~640Mh/s. Some other times I'll get close to  12Mh/s. This is all on the website. However, when I look at my mining application (Guiminer) I'll see 550 exactly, and on my other rig, 170 exactly.


What's going on here? O.o Is it the website or my systems?

The site estimates your hashrate by how many shares you submit. So if the time you have set for averaging your hashrate is low it can vary a lot. Try setting the time higher and it should have a lot less variance.
