So I have two miners running on graftpool.online. Initially I had them on easyhash.io. And have been somewhat indecisive about where to keep them.

I am seeing some strange behavior from the easyhash pool though, and am wondering if anyone can explain. Yesterday I saw a pool hashrate of some 40 MHash/s while it also seemed to hit almost every block found on the network. But at the same time both easyhash and graftpool.online showed a network hashrate of some 18 MHash/s?!? How is this possible?

At this very moment easyhash.io just jumped from 1.5 MHash/s to 12.5 whilst apparently not affecting the total network rate. Though it somehow feels wrong, I am now considering to reappoint my miners to easyhash.io. But not if it is somehow damaging the coin...

I have noticed this on multiple occasions also. Very strange.

I am currently moving from graftpool.online to easyhash.io due to the lower pool fee, but so far even with the network has rate not being much different I seem to be getting less at easyhash.io. Will mobitor it for a couple of days, if no improvement, I will go back to graftpool.online.

Also, can anyone with certainty explain what the max cap for this coin is? I have seen two different figures and not sure which it is.

I did a bit of switching back and forth. I ended up concluding that my returns on easyhash.io were a bit higher than on the graftpool.online. That may all be down to chance though.

I do not have enough data to be sure just yet,it may well work out to be the case in a few days time. One would think it should be due to lower pool fees though. Will see how it goes and report back my findings here

Hey guys,

Ill explain it to you. The "Network Hashrate" shown on pools is not a real-time value. Its calculated based on the difficulty of the actual block. The calculation is simple: DIFFICULTY / DIFFICULTY_TARGET (where DIFFICULTY_TARGET is always 120 sec = 2min for Graft). For Block #18383 that would be 3242439737 / 120 = 27020331 = 27 MHs. But try it yourself.
The "Network Hashrate" is an indicator for "How much Hashingpower would be needed to find a Block every 2 Minutes".
The Pools Hashrate on the other hand is a real-time value, that could be higher than the whole Network Hashrate. If thats the case, there will simply be more than 1 Block every 2 Minutes....

The Graft Blockchain calculates its difficulty over the average of the last 720 Block. If the last 720 Blocks longer than 1440 minutes (720 Blocks * 2 Minutes) the diff will fall. If it took less than 1440 Minutes the diff will rise.

So if a pool put 40MH/s on a 15 MH/s Blockchain, there will me more than 1 Block per 2 Minutes. The diff will adjust, but over the average of 720 Blocks. Then, when the diff rises to a certain point, the pool stops putting Hashes on the Blockchain, leading to less than 1 Block per 2 Minutes. And the diff will fall again.

Using this mechanism is not directly abusing the Blockchain, since its still a valid way to do it. But its putting his own interest bevor everyone elses.

I hope I could clear things up for you and of course Ill be waiting for you on the awesome graftpool.online

Cheers
