Diff1shares vs DiffA
...
Diff1shares = work done
DiffA = work accepted by the pool
ty =) I figured that... but I still cant make sense of the differences between the 2. I put vardiff on 1 one on the pool.
Rejects + Stales + HW errors .. still dont come close to the difference between diff1 & diffa .. over a few hour period.
Well - since I wrote most of the original Icarus driver the Avalon was based on and wrote miner.php that the screen is based on I am assuming that they didn't screw it up
ckolivas did mention that the error counting was different in the avalon code (why? NFI) and I guess they could have used other fields to display the ones there
On any other device the numbers are:
Summary: "Accepted" and "Rejected" are at whatever difficulty each share is, so don't mean much, but "Difficulty Accepted" and "Difficulty Rejected" are of course the diff1 difficulty of all "Accepted" and "Rejected" shares.
"Hardware Errors" are diff1.
(WD) "Work Utility" * "Elapsed" / 60 is the amount of work done.
There is, of course, no direct relationship between (WD) and "Difficulty Accepted", "Difficulty Rejected" and "Hardware Errors"
(There's an FAQ I wrote in the README about that, that probably explains the answer to your question)
At the pool level:
"Diff1 Shares" is the number of nonces found, so that also doesn't correlate to any of the others directly either (except WD).
The Avalon itself doesn't actually know how much work it has done.
Although it was copied from the Icarus driver, the Avalon hardware is too random to work out exactly how much work it is doing, so it counts nonces to determine a good estimate of it ... however it is an estimate, not exact.
Anyway, my suggestion would be to use the API directly and check the values there and then compare them to the screen to see if they have changed the name of anything.
If not, then what I've said is the answer
