Hi, I'm completely new to mining and to using the Eligius Pool, and it was easy enough to get mining. The website and info were great. But I'm still familiarizing myself with things, so apologies if this is a simply answered question.

I've just received an antminer s7 and have it set up and mining on Eligius. I have a question about the stats page. I've got the stats provided from the antminer interface, and it lists the following for the 6+ hours I've been mining on Eligius so far: Elapsed: 6h31m53s GH/S(5s): 4,948.96 GH/S(avg): 4,563.83

However, on the Eligius stats page it lists Hashrate Average over 3 hours as 2,928.16 Gh/s. I've checked frequently on the antminer interface, and it has had a consistent hashrate in both fields listed above 4,500 GH/s each time I checked.

Why is there such a large disconnect between the average hashrate reported? Are the stats on Eligius just estimating hashrate based on valid shares accepted/submitted and I've simply had bad luck so far? Do I need to run it a bit longer before a more accurate average hashrate is reported?

Eligius's stats are the actual hash rate since they're based on actual valid share submissions. If your miner's stats differ, then there is likely an issue on your side. Historically, this has pretty much always been the case when someone describes such a discrepancy.

I poked around and looked for a user that was about 6 hours old with around 3Th/sec and I think I see your user. I would check your miner's configuration, since as I was looking there was a large gap in submitted shares (over 4 minutes), which suggests some type of load balancing or something else on your end preventing 100% of your miner's work from being submitted to Eligius. The calculations for the shares actually submitted look correct for what the stats are showing (just below 3Th).

I am impressed with such quick and accurate response wizkid
