Have a question about the Cloak multipool. Stats for yesterday showed average hashrate for X11 was only 143.75MH/s. The top 4 of 41 currently mining add up to over 200MH/s so why was yesterdays' average so low? Was the pool down yesterday for an extended period or something?
Hey Nano,
The hashrates are averages of confirmed shares only, This does not accurately represent the pools actual hashrate.
The reason as to why it is setup like this, is that we do not discard peoples efforts for finding a block. If someone spends 4 hours hashing away and no blocks are found during their hashing time, they still have a lot of unconfirmed shares, that as blocks are found will be confirmed. Since yesterday we didn't find many blocks, there is a lot of unconfirmed shares. Once we find blocks today, those shares will be confirmed and you will most probably notice a larger hashrate than what is actually on the pool. I will be removing this statistic and replacing it with all shares submitted so it is in accurate representation of the days hashrate, not just of the days confirmed shares.
Thanks for the quick response and explanation.
