My avalon says 82171.28 MHS and I'm currently mining in two pools.... it's been mining all day. When I check the Mhash in the pools I got this:
slush: 36368.844 and 50btc: 37185.844
so, I got 73553 MHS total.... where are the other 8617.436?
are they lost? or those numbers are not exact? what is more reliable?
I prefer to use the Failover mode, so the first pool gets 100% and if it fails, the cgminer process moves over to the second pool.
But even then, there is variance in the numbers. My 365 MHz avalon displays
MHSav 86239.66, HMS5s 87079.58 and the pools shows 86586.54
I'm sure if I look at other machines, I'll see bigger difference based on how the moving averages are calculated
