And it is payout per MHD!
I see you insist... Ok. Let me show you my reasoning for why IT IS NOT MHD and then you can just slam down your irrefutable proof and I'll stand rebuked.
let's say that your hashrate is 1 MHs. Meaning that your computational power can "solve" 1 million hashes in a second. Analogous to active power being measured in kW, the energy consumption is measured based on the consumption of power in a unit of time thus the kWh unit of measure. When you want to see how much energy you consumed in a DAY you just count the kWh which means you consumed 24 kWh/day (for 1 kWh).
when you use BTC/MHD you are implying that your hash rate is 1 "MH per day" which is false. your hash rate is an average of 1 MHs over a day's time and you contributed with 3600* 1 MH in a day's time. WP states [0.01 btc/(average MHs) in a day] and not the amount of hashes in a day. And lastly, the unit of measure is MHs. you can twist that figure to show a day or a year but it's still MHs as reported by your miners.
1- No, 1 MHD is one Mega Hash Day, not 1 Mega Hash per Day. There is no divisor in an MHD unit. You put that in there. Why didn't you add it to your example of kWH too?
2- You've made an error in your explanation. There are 86400 seconds in a day, not 3600. That is how many seconds there are in an hour.
3- 1 MHD = 86400 MH, or the number of hashes computed over the course of one day at an average of 1 MH/s instantaneous rate.
4- The reason I chose to indicate MHD over MHH (hour) MHW (week) is because that is the length of time that everyone naturally wants to know and compare day over day and pool to pool.
5- In your last sentence, you conveniently removed the divisor from MH/s, which is a rate at which hashes are computed.
I have a perfect analogy for all this, but I refuse to dumb it down and spoon feed it to the masses. I happen to be one of those people who cannot help but roll his eyes every time a news reporter quantifies a distance or area in the number of football fields that could fit into that space -- as in the average distance from the earth to the moon is 4,200,000 football fiends laid out end to end.
