Basically i use the counter on the website to measure how often i am submitting work. I just watch the counter as it updates every half second or so. So to submit around 10000 units. the counter updates about fifty times. So that means on average each work submitted is worth 200. Correct?
Well why dont i just look at what difficulty shares cgminer is submitting? I plan to but i dont have direct control to the miner at the moment.
The quick updates on the livestats are extrapolations based on your hashrate. There is an adjustment from the server once per minute.
If you send in one proof of work at difficulty 256 then your proof of work counter on the server will go up by 256. And that happened in a single work submit.
Since the server updates your data approx. once per minute you could look at the workers page where there is no extrapolation, wait one minute, click the little refresh button there, and see how much the accepted count goes up. It will be some multiple of the worker difficulty you are on currently. But you wouldn't be able to tell two work submits at diff 256 apart from a single one at diff 512.
Try having a look at cgminer when you are able - much easier.
