I've noticed when the pool luck is low the website appears to report my hashrate as low too (after a run of bad luck - like now)
When I check my Ant it disagrees
Right now website says 165GH/s for my Ant worker
The Ant says 185 GH/s
Just wondering why
I've noticed it a few times over the last week, always when pool luck is extended bad run
Your ant miner includes rejected shares and hardware errors. Additionally, the pool dashboard is an estimate based on accepted shares, while your local miner is actual hashing speed. The average on your Dashboard will always be +/- 5 to 10% of your actual hash rate (even further off if you have HW errors and/or lots of invalids). As for "always when the pool luck is extended bad run", this is called selective bias. You see the same fluctuation regardless of pool luck, but you're trying to associate completely independent events. tl;dr: Your brain lies to you.
