ETHASH Pool Hashrate

Post by UbjfP2ZOJa » Tue Apr 12, 2022 6:22 pm

I'm curious as to why there has been a huge drop in ETHASH's pool hashrate since April 8? My shares haven't dropped, so I assume a different method of calculating...

Some miners left the pool, because we discovered that they were renting hashrate from Nicehash. Nicehash's hashrate doesn't find blocks at the same rate that traditional miners do, which pulls down everyone's profitability. With their departure, we can pay more to customers.
