Ugh.. Hmm.. A bit confused. I think I am missing something. I just watched my LV07 submit 8739 shares to ckpool in 1 minute
You must be reading something wrong, you can't be submiting 8k shares in 1 minute.
Also, where did the number 8190 come from? Maybe it should be 8192 (2^13). But then, why 2^13?
8192 is the share diff in the example provided by NFW, no the 2^32 is correct, it is needed in the equation to "translate" share diff to hashrate.
fine, plot your numbers in the equation.
18×971×2^32/60
you get 1.25terahash
if your hashrate is indeed an exact 1terahash then it is not exactly 18 shares / min
you can use the same equation (basic math) you get =14.396 shares per minute.
clear?
