Mining through ethermine.org in a pool.
Last week we built our first mining rig with a Gigabyte 1060, and we were running at a steady 19mh/s. Over the course of 24hrs we saw that at times we peaked to 28mh/s and also slumped down to 10mh/s at times. The average was still holding strong at 19mh/s, but our effective hashrate went up slightly.
Two days in we added a R9 290 (with an effective rate of 29mh/s) and were holding strong at 48mh/s average. At time with this setup we peaked up to 72mh/s and slumped as low as 22mh/s.
We made a final upgrade and bought a R9 390 and another 1060. When we were running three cards for a course of 12hrs we were reporting 75mh/s with peaks up to 95mh/s, and slumps down to 56mh/s.
With one card our peaks reached 9mh/s higher than our normal average, with 2 cards it reached 24mh/s higher, and with 3 cards it reach 30mh/s higher. I took a two hour window and measured how much ETH we mined at 5min refresh intervals and it fluctuated based on the current hashrates of our cards at any giving time. I can deduce from this that if we hit those "golden nuggets" while we are ramping up to our peak hashrate, we are effectively mining more at that time. Grant it we mine less when it drops below our reported rate. Through what I see, the more cards we have the more often we are above our reported rate. So here is my question.
Does the increase of cards into our public pool (and personal wallet) exponentially increase the chance of us hitting those peaks? Essentially is it more beneficial to add as many cards as possible mining to the same wallet, than it is to just have everyone mine into their own wallet with their own cards. When considering this question, disregard power usage as a pro/con.
Thank you guys in advance. Love the community!
