So I have been reading up on this thread and saw that a lot of people say they are not getting the same hash rates at the pool as what the local miner reports. This has had me worried. I run a small farm and I directed all my cards to use the hsrminer.

I have taken one card out of the batch and created a new Nicehash wallet, to see exactly what hsrminer does.

1. On my side the miner disconnects every hour and mines for about 30-60 seconds to the devs wallet.
2. Below the hash rate reported by the miner. This is a evga 1070 running at 70 power target - 137 core and 495 mem. The miner reports an avg of 1088 kH/s

I don't think this test is trustworthy, not to say completely useless. Poolside average hashrate - such as can be determined from the pool I was using, as it does not provide a simple moving average graph - was roughly the same as what hsrminer reported, but the actual amount of TZC that I earned was substantially less than predicted by minethecoin.com using hsrminer's reported hashrate and the average difficulty for the last 24 hours. I am retesting hsrminer on the same pool now - results available in about 12 hours - but so far at just a little over the halfway mark I have earned 44.5 TZC vs. a predicted earnings of 63.5, or about 30% less, which is even worse than my previous test of hsrminer (24% less than predicted).

EDIT - I should note that this is on the official TZC pool which finds a block every 4 minutes on average.
