I still do not understand the principle of measuring profitability in the miner. As far as I have understood, after initial benchmarking the miner calculates and chooses the most profitable algo. But i dont understand how the main screen revenue is calculated. It is derived from the pool data during the last several hours? What is the time period for that calculation? So these are average, not current earnings, and current earnings can be seen in benchmarks?

And a stupid question https://clip2net.com/s/3TnqKjp
Does it calculate the sum for zergpool and zergpoolplus? maybe the actual earnings are twice lower?

Does this help?

You are right. You should not select several variants of the same pool. This makes no sense from an estimations perspective and will give weird mining decisions. It will results in showing wrong values for BTC/D as well.

Thank you very much! Though it was a little disappointing, at least now i know the truth. Thanks for the new article in documentation, it's really helpful.
And another question is - why is the difference between benchmarked estamates and actual income so big? The hashes are the same, but the actual income is twice lower that the estimated. I would understand 10-20% lifference, but not 50%.

Btw, soes the miner updeate the benchmarks after using an algo? Is seems to me that it does, but i might be wrong
