I've been mining hush for a while now (probably 2 months-ish), both at hushpool.cloud and at madmining.club, and I've noticed my payouts are consistently around 25 or 30% less than what I'm seeing on whattomine.com.

I have about 1k Sol/s, and according to whattomine I should be getting 2.2/day and instead I got 1.7. When the difficulty was lower and I was supposed to be getting 3.5 or 4, I was getting 2.5 to 3, etc.

When I was mining on hushpool.cloud I would look at the stats and the pool luck was always at -30% over the previous 4 days (or 7 or whatever the number it was using for the average)

At madmining I don't see the actual luck, just the calculated luck (what it should be getting) but I assume it is also getting bad luck.

What gives? Is this what you would expect to see happening if someone was doing a 51% attack? I understand bad luck can happen for any given day or even a period of days on a fluke, but consistently over this long a time frame? Seems like something is up.

What to mine is a point in time estimate based off a moving average I believe. Hush having a small network hashrate can have large swings in difficulty throughout the day. A large miner or private pool points to hush and say has 1MSol/s (roughly 25-50% network hashrate) for 20 or so blocks then moves to another algo while we are left having to deal with a high difficulty for a few hours.

This can skew earning a lot... This happens to other coins but if you look at zcash 350MSol/s 1MSol/s miner will not make a huge impact on the network like it will to hush with 3.hMsol/s

So, while yes whattomine cannot give a good estimate you should be close when you look at 7+ days

A good gauge is to look at shares per block, with our current hashrate I would expect most to be under 100k shares https://madmining.club/blocks you can see we had 3 well over that. This is a combination of luck and swings in difficulty (which you can see here http://myhush.network/stats.html )

Thanks for the response. That could explain what's happening, but is there any way to tell? That link you provided only shows a blank page for me, with tabs at the top.

But if you or someone has a server with all the stats (total diff, hash rate per pool, and blocks found) over a period of a few weeks or a month or whatever, you should be able to check exactly the actual vs expected luck for each pool right? I'm not sure how trivial that would be but I assume there must be tools that could parse and analyze that data for the relevant stats.

Try disabling add blocker, I've also had some people say they couldn't view the site on mobile... I'm looking into it.

As far as pool stats, we could once we are aware off all the pools/ all pools modify their stratum code to include a unique hex value when mining a block. Not all pools do this, and some private pools intentionally do not
