Scorpio, pools do not know your hashrate, they only estimate it.

Hi Bimmber

would you please explain to us how the pool works? usually how pool estimate the hashrate?

well you don't need to know that and it varies pool to pool.
But it is a good question. So here is an attempt to explain it.

They all count your good shares submitted to them.

They then devide them by a time limit

and they say a rate.

That is only an estimate because you can toss lots of (7's) in a give time frame and look like you have a higher rate then you do.

Of lots of good shares in hour 1 = high hash
followed by no shares in hour 2 = low hash

the reality is your tosses of the dice per hour are your true hash rate
but pools only count your good shares per hour thus it is an estimate.
