Topic: Nanopool Line Chart Analysis: Does this look normal for Ethereum mining? (Read 1371 times)

Miner: Claymore (Solo ETH)
Pool: ethermine
Graphics Cards: Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 580 8 GB
OS: Windows 10 Pro

I am getting a stable 22.6 MH/s per card (approx). So around 113.2 MH/s in total with 5 GPUs, however my Rig (GPU's) are not getting constant work. some GPU's are out of job and I am wasting lots of power and energy.
Any Suggestions?
Thank you

Brilliant, cheers.

First, you shouldn't compare your chart to someone with a 10,000MH/s because even they will get small fluctuations it just won't look like much.  1 50MH fluctuation won't look like much on a chart of 1 to 10,000 whereas even a 10MH fluctuation will show up with a 60MH max speed.  So their graph will look more like a straight line than yours.

Shares are not an exact hasrate / time.  There is luck involved.  So in a 10 minute period you might find 20, and in the next you might find 2-3. 

Your reported hasrate is your exact hash rate at the moment it was reported, usually every 15-30 seconds.  Calculated hash, I believe with nanopool I could be wrong, is a calculated rate where they assign a specific rate for shares.  So if your calculated rate is higher than your average rate, your luck is better than average and you're finding more shares than expected.

Only way to find more shares is hang a horse shoe over your rig, wear green, or just add more GPU's. 

As far as what's more profitable to mine, that's a matter of opinion.  I only my ethereum, hell I have my own pool.  I believe the value will go up a lot over the next year so I want as much of it as I can get.  Short term, sure, zcash probably will bring in more.  But lets look back on this next summer and see, people will be wishing they had mined Ethereum too.

I started mining this week using the following:

Miner: Claymore (Solo ETH)
Pool: Nanopool
Graphics Cards: 3x GTX 1060 6GB MSI Gaming X Edition
GPU software: MSI Afterburner = Undervolted @ 60% TDP (72Watts) +700MHz memory overclock.
OS: Windows 10 Pro

I am getting a stable 22.3 MH/s per card (approx). So around 67 MH/s in total. I know i may be better off mining Zcash, but i choose to mine Ethereum. I have my reasons for this.

I do have 3 more cards to add to my build, but they haven't arrived yet.

This is my Nanopool chart: (Look from 4th of July onwards.)
https://eth.nanopool.org/account/0x2ebd7c60feb6bbeac4142ec862d46a44fb68be82

As you can see, the chart shows 4 things:
A.) Calculated hashrate
B.) 2-hour SMA
C.) Accepted Shares
D.) Reported Hashrate

I'm not too sure what these^ mean. There is quite a fluctuation for A.) and also 2 drops in D.).

Now when i compare this to some of the other ETH addresses in the top 15, their charts seems more consistent with less fluctuations in all areas.
For example:
https://eth.nanopool.org/account/0x548efb023462c347992def94428a9a4565ac231a
https://eth.nanopool.org/account/0x3ed80e6274637a3cccb097e39e911a1882b03023

Granted, these are significantly higher total hash rates, but i'm querying the consistency.

So my questions are as follows:
1.) What is the difference between reported hash rate and calculated hash rate?

1a.) How do i make those two line up more like the above examples.

2.) Why do  the accepted shares have such a variation and how can i increase this or make it more consistent?

3.) Why has my reported hash rate dropped on those 2 drops? It's only for a few minutes, but time is money. + Why haven't the other stats dropped along with it?

Thanks.

Please answer in as much detail as you can.
