[322.339 MH/s (~291 MH/s)] [Rej: 73/7908 (0%)]

Is the display output from one of my poclbm miners, and the (~ MH) is one of the newer, and my favorite stat that I basically look at as local luck. As I understand it, the first number is how many hashes hashed from the miners point of view. The estimate is a timed based average depending on how many shares have been accepted (maybe + rejected? Not enough to matter it seems). So sometimes its a bit higher than the actual hash rate, and sometimes lower, like now.
These 'lucks' get added up in a pools mining stats, and basically multiplies by how many you have running. If all your miners on a lucky streak, your reported mash rate in the pool stats will be more than your actual.

I was long-perplexed by the same thing in Deepbit. I have about 630 hashing power but it often reported as up to 760 in Deepbit. It made me feel like I was getting away with something  Grin

It means you're solving shares ~10% faster than your card should be, in that timeframe.

You might also see it dip to 550-480 during unlucky streaks, that's normal.
As long as the submitted shares count matches the one displayed by your client everything is working fine

The Pool doesn`t know your hash rate - the pool simply gets your shares and calculates a hash rate from that.
In case of deepbit it shows you an average speed in the last 10 minutes.
Your mh/s will be stable - but your share rate isn`t because auf stale shares and variance.

This 10 Minutes you`re lucky and it shows more - next 10 minutes your unlucky and the interface shows less.

hey the title says it all... deepbit's speed says "292MHs" whilst guiminer says "270mhs" which one is more accurate?

With most pools, your reported hash-rate is based off of shares over time.  GUIMiner reports the 'actual' hash-rate.

If the pool is reporting a higher hash-rate than what your 'actual' hash-rate is, you're getting 'lucky' solving each share.  This is normal variance.

deepbits up to 326Mhs now?? im using a radeon 5850 so 326 is about right... maybe guiminer is wrong?
