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.
You will never get the coins whattomine says because the difficulty changes literally every block. The only way to measure which miner you should be using is mining for an extended period of time and taking a look at both the shares submitted at the pool and the hashrate reported at the pool. You can never look at the coins earned because of the difficulty variable and you can never say I made 50 coins today with CCMiner and 75coins the day before with HSRMiner, because that tells you nothing since the difficulty determines coins earned.
I just finished a 7 hour test with CCMiner mining TZC and confirmed the hashrate and shares submitted are lower than Hsrminer. The miner reports about 100-200 kh/s less than hsrminer per card on the miner itself and that's the result I was seeing in shares submitted and hashrate on the pool itself. I was skeptical, but after this test I can't really dispute the reported rates. I will say my hashrate with one card is higher than when I have a bunch of them running. I have this same problem with all miners though..
