Hi guys, I've put my mining hash rate in to a couple of calculators for XMR (https://whattomine.com/coins/101-xmr-cryptonight, https://dwarfpool.com/xmr/calc, https://minergate.com/calculator/cryptonote etc) and it doesn't add up with what I am seeing.

I am running machines 24/7 using cpuminer-opt from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cpuminer-opt-v3881-open-source-optimized-multi-algo-cpu-miner-1326803 on Windows. Obtaining ~ 760-1020H/s

Even taking the low hashing figure from each machine, this would equate to 760H/s.

When I put that in to the calculators above, they suggest I should be earning ~0.1705 XMR per day (at the current difficulty). I use moneropool and calculated how much XMR I earn by looking at the times between payouts.

I've calculated that in the last few weeks I've earned on average a fairly consistent 0.0941 XMR a day. I realise with the recent interest there was a difficulty spike, but even with that I feel something doesn't add up here, even with the 1.9% pool fee.

Anyone any ideas?  Huh Huh

Numbers what you see in those Calculators is just a rough estimate. You have to stay with a pool for a few months to see you real average income .
if your pool having really bad luck (or efficiency ) ,   your estimated earning can be 30-50% less than your projected profit. If the pool hit a good luck or high efficiency , your projected profit going to be much higher than your projected income Smiley

when calculating hashrate....

do we go off what our computer (minig programs ) say

or by what the pool clocks us at?

ex:   my cpu/gpu combined rate is @ 1850hs     

sometimes the pool clocks me at 2100hs  sometimes 1500hs... sometimes 1200hs    etc

thanks for any help

try a different pool?

also, what is your hash rate showing at the pool?

I might do after the next payout. The hash rate at the pool is weird. Some of the time it shows 0 H/s but then it shows 800H/s and sometimes spikes up to 2.1KH/s ..  Huh

That's because the hashrate is calculated and depends of the shares. I don't know why so many people are going to Minergate, it looks a dummy pool to me Roll Eyes. Go on Dwarfpool, it is far more reliable. That's where I used to mine when difficulty was 30xxx... not so long ago.

I'm not using Minergate, I'm using moneropool.com ?

Oh ok sorry so. Try to switch to Dwarfpool and PM me when you'll have done so if problem is still not resolved.

Only been mining on dwarf for a couple of hours and already seeing a marked improvement in earnings. Thanks for the tip!

it is better to use wolf's miner to your XMR address rather than mining to a pool since ur into it 24X7 .
