I'm tracking the solo mining hash rate on my site. I have a chart with 24-hour, 3-day, 7-day and all-time average:
http://runeks.dk/bitcoin/It's important for everyone to understand that you (and most others who generate this type of data) are tracking an EXTRAPOLATED hash rate based on the rate of found blocks over time... since luck/variance will affect the calculation (especially with short timeframes like 24 hours or less), it would be better to describe this as "blocks found over time" instead of "hash rate" so people don't fall into the trap of thinking that hardware is being taken online and offline for whatever reason, since this seems to just fuel needless speculation.
You're right. I've actually thought about this previously, that these charts should explicitly say "hash rate
estimate". I'm going to fix that now.
When dividends are paid out, is the address the solo mined coins go into zeroed out? Or in general, can you explain in a little detail the second graph and how you get the info for it?
The way I calculate this is as follows:
Every time a new ASICMiner block comes in, I add the mined amount to the present amount mined. Every time I receive a dividend payout to my shareholder address, the number of coins ASICMiner has mined since the last dividend payout is zeroed.
So for every ASICMiner solo block that comes in, total coins mined since last dividend payout gets incremented by the block reward. And when I receive a dividend payout to my address, this cumulative amount is set to zero, and we start over.
I remember previously when looking at your charts the two lines would diverge... why would they ever diverge? Hell, why have the two lines? Shouldn't they... in a way... show the exact same thing? Or is there something I am missing here that would cause a difference in mined vs. mined per share?
Right. They did that. The only reason they would diverge is if the units on the right vertical axis don't correspond to the units on the left vertical axis divided by 400,000. This was the case before because Google Spreadsheet charts adjust the range automatically, and one axis was adjusted while the other wasn't. The amounts were still correct.
The reason there are two lines is so that I don't have to create the right vertical axis and adjust it manually. When there are two lines, one for the left vertical axis and one for the right vertical axis, the units on the axes are automatically adjusted when the cumulative mining dividend increases.
