\[Solved\] Hash rate vs acceptance rate
-
When mining, which is more important, high hash rate or high acceptance rate? Are you making coins on the acceptance ? Thank you

You are definitely making coins on the accepted shares, so you need to make sure that the hashrate is high enough to be submitting enough shares, but not so high that you get errors and rejected shares. I have found that between 0.5% and 1% is normal for my setups.

Thank you for the quick response. I am a newbie to this, but I do have several rigs running. How do you tell how many are being submitted as compared to how many are being accepted? Still working through which program I like better and have written code for some of my miners. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

minerd, which I’m using on some smaller CPU rigs tells you the following when a share is submitted:
[b][2013-12-03 12:03:47] accepted: 323/323 (100.00%), 71.22 khash/s (yay!!!)[/b]
This one was restarted a little while ago, but it tells me that all 323 shares I’ve submitted have been accepted. After this has been running for a week or two, the accepted one will be lower than the submitted number, and the percentage will drop below 100%, this miner averages 99% accepted shares when mining FTC on D2’s pool.
cgminer has a section at the top which tells you your efficiency (the percentage in the example above).
