You are missing some fundamentals here that would clear this up. Nothing is being stolen or gone missing.

Your miner hashes at a certain speed, that is the reported hashrate. This is what is displayed in the miner output, and most pool dashboards also show a "reported hashrate" that mimics what your miner is reporting.

You actually get paid based on how many VALID shares you submit to the pool. This is displayed in your pool dashboard. Sometimes called "effective" or "actual" hashrate. It's simply measuring how many shares you submitted over a period of time (usually an hour). This will go up and down throughout the day based on the LUCK of the shares you are mining and the number of STALES \ INVALIDS you fail to submit to the pool. If you have a bad connection to the pool you may have higher stales, if your rig is too overclocked it may produce invalid shares, both of these are shares that will NOT be accepted by your pool and will affect the "actual hashrate" of your rig. Your miner fee will also affect your actual hashrate as the miner will not be producing valid shares for YOUR wallet during that brief period of time.

Many of the pool dashboards also show an "average hashrate" which is just taking the average of your "actual / effective hashrate" over a sliding window of time (usually 24h).

Sometimes your actual hashrate will be above your reported hashrate. Sometimes it will be lower. Given enough time (days, weeks, thousands of shares), with 0 stales, and 0 invalids, and 0 miner fees, your actual hashrate would come very close to the reported hashrate of your rig.

Yea... the community should not let this die. People should be posting in the NiceHash reddit asking for the apology.

Cheers to that! I also fired up a cup of coffee and sat down to read the unfolding drama. This is the best sitcom since Trump.

You are probably running out of PCIe lanes with that many cards in use. Time for a second motherboard.

Your card is being thermally throttled due to the extremely high memory junction temperatures reaching 110 C. The GPU core will remain core during mining as it is not primarily in use. Check GPU-Z or HWMonitor or HWInfo64, you will see the thermal throttle and the high memory junction temperatures.

The one thing that stands out to me from this whole drama is how the Phoenix Miner Dev team responded to the accusations by Nice Hash. Phoenix handled it like a proper team should, professionally and respectfully. What NiceHash did all of yesterday was just downright disgusting to see. I agree with others in this thread; I will be uninstalling NiceHash from all of my machines and never recommending their software in the future. There is just too much shady stuff going on with that company for me to ever trust them again.

You may want to take a look at this reddit post. There was MUCH more going on than just the blog post from NiceHash. Your credibility has been smeared all day by NiceHash devs.

"...It is simply anonymous developer missing which is suspicious because he might have planted an exit strategy now that he doesnt care about reputation anymore. Runnig Phoenixminer is risky as it may not only collect devfee but do something else. In which version malware is, if it is, we don't know. It could have been in the one year old version if developer planned this for a long time.

Would you apologize to PhoenixMiner if it turns out that there was trully just a misunderstanding and some third force made him unable to fix issue with download location?

Yes, we would make public apology to PhoenixMiner if this ever happens and turns out that there was indeed no evil plan behind. But at this moment in time, we had to warn our customers about potential dangers."

Apparently you have an "evil plan".
