So in effect all pools are guessing at hashrates. We have no way to know whats showing up in your client window. In reality it should be called "Share Rate".
Tycho, I propose we change our sites away from "megahashes" and into "shares per minute" XD

Would be nice if this became the standard and all pools adopted it. Technically no pool is accurate when they say XXX MH/s.
To get people use to the idea maybe a combination stat that shows the aproximate hashrate
Something like this:
20.9 shares per minute (~ 1500 MH/s)
(maybe if you mouse over or click on hashrate it would provide an explanation on since no pool can see your hardware hashrate it is estimated based on shares you submit and will fluctuate based on luck).
maybe shares per hour would be better (using a rolling 1hour average?):
1257 shares per hour (~ 1500 MH/s)
I agree, this would be most beneficial to users and pool operators.
Do we have any other Pool operators to give input?
