So why the difference?
sometimes the 5s hash does drop and sometimes it does rise, I think it has to do with the psu but I'm not sure. The average stays about the same so I know the miner is working at about 1.1Th/s which is where I want it with my current setup. I could always do more hashing but it doesn't seem as stable when it is not at this setting.
As an average as you stated dogie, I should be watching the daily hash on my pool and miner settings and now worry about the 5s and 30m, 10m on the pool?
I seem to be getting consistent payout, i guess that is all that matters.
becouse sometimes your antminer will find more shares and sometimes less, same as finding btc block - your ant trying to find many small blocks.
Sounds like you're on Eligius. I'm there lately as well. I notice a drop in hashrate as reported by Eligius like now when I'm reading my morning news. The consistent payout is nice - large user base - but smaller payout per user shares. I wonder if they use a lower difficulty. Lower difficulty I assume means more data back and forth and more easily slowed with router diversion to my news websites. For years they've had a note about difficulty setting that I haven't seen.
