What is the difference between the hps vs hps2? can you expand on the differences please.
Welcome aboard Saint!
The HPS in the pool is the speed your machine is advertising to the pool. The HPS2 is the speed the pool is measuring (for your node).
The pool pays rewards based off of HPS2.
We are temporarily leaving them both in for debugging of f8000. Eventually we can remove HPS, and recaption HPS2 to HPS to simplify things (probably around Feb of 2018)! Sorry for the confusion for now, we have been tweaking the PoBH since inception to try to use all the processor but prevent people from gaining by running multiple copies per node and I think we finally have it ready for Christmas.
