I don't have any problems when i restart it,
I kind of understand what the other are saying,
What i don't understand is, i was getting around 950mhs
If i use the Eth hash calculator

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=950&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=0&CostPerkWh=0.0&MiningPoolFee=0

That show i should get 0.03 eth a day
a couple weeks ago i was getting 0.055 eth a day
to get 0.055 that should be 1700mhs

I am not complaining i am trying to understand so i can repeat it hehe

Thanks

Well Whattomine says 0.032 to 0.038 depending on luck for 9mhs.
It tends to be very close on its calc.

And eth is getting much harder to mine due to difficulty and nethash increase.

In my experience, if your rig is mining problem free for like 2 weeks or so. Don't shut it off and turn it back on again, because in my experience and I have no idea why this happened but usually a few hours later it would stall and I would need to boot it up again.

No idea why this kept happening. It would run for weeks. I would need to do a power cycle, and then it would usually start to hang shortly after. Eventually it stayed stable and kept mining for weeks however for some reason shutting it off and on made something worse and lead to this random crashes.

It's simply down time divided by total time.

If you're down 2 minutes every hour you lose 3.3%, once a day is 0.1%.
Pools report hashrate over a 5 minute window so they will show around a 40% drop for a short duration.
That's the average because it all depends on luck.

Edit: It's the same as the miner fee of fee based miners, which is actually paid in time. However, if you intend
to restart the miner to avoid paying the fee consider that most fee based miners front load the fee to discourage
users from doing that.

Depending on pool this can be just luck. I know on smaller pools i have more variance in payout time. On larger pools its more consistent. In the end it averages out to the same.

A few minutes missed should have a huge effect on pool earnings. But if you are using Zombie mode where it can take time to get back to full speed you may have a bigger dip in the hash graph.

Hello there

I am just curious if turning off a rig to do whatever for a couple minuets and back on again affect the total out come ??
I understand the time the machine is off you lose that time.
I am mining with Ethermine pool, and i noticed that if i don't touch it at all my payout gap closes buy enough

I had some payout of around 80h to 90h and some of 40h all with the same machines nothing really changed
I am 1% stale shared and i have not seen any invalid shared or rejected shared

It almost seams like if i turn it off say to zip tie some cables and turn it back on in 2 minutes i lose a lot more then the 2 minutes
Its as if it loses steam and it takes time to get back up to speed

I hope someone understand, not sure if i explained that right

Thanks very much
Biggs
