Hi there,

Being using Claymore and had a steady hash rate at 243.5 Mh/s. Switched to PhoenixMiner 2.7c but hash rate fluctuates between 239+ to 248+ Mh/s; pool report an average of 242.4 M/hs. Does anyone hash rate fluctuates or it is just me?
    We report the hashrate as (almost) unfiltered momentary value, which is exactly what the GPUs are giving at this time. You can also see the 5 minute average hashrate every 30 seconds or when you press the 's' key - this is much more stable and consistent value. As some people prefer more smoothed out values, we will probably add an option to set the amount of filtering.


Thank you for your explanation. Now I understand and I like the way it was implemented. Great job PhoenixMiner developers!
In the end you should consider what the pool reports as your hashrate and earnings. It's easy for any mining developer to obfuscate or in other ways present wrong numbers.

Yes, I did that and the result was PhoenixMiner does a little more shares. Initially I'm not sure why the fluctuation therefore curious to find out.
