You can deal with situations where the MicroBT Whatsminer M50‘s local hash rate is lower than their theoretical hash rate and their local hash rate is lower than the hash rate of the mining pool with the help of this guide.
The low hash rate typically takes one of two forms: either the miner’s actual hash rate is lower than their theoretical hash rate, or the mining pool’s hash rate is lower than the miner’s actual hash rate. The following troubleshooting can be used by users to precisely locate and address the issue.
1. The local hash rate of the MicroBT Whatsminer M50 is less than the theoretical hash rate
The main reasons why a MicroBT Whatsminer M50‘s actual hash rate is lower than theoretical hash rate are related to the hardware or mining farm. The following are a few typical options and solutions that you can use as references.
1) When the miner is turned on, the hash rate is insufficient because it hasn’t warmed up.
Solution: It takes the miner about 15 minutes to restart before the hash rate returns to normal; if the miner restarts automatically after only a few minutes, please test a different power supply to determine whether an abnormal power supply is to blame.
2) Miner hash board display is incomplete.
Re-plug the data cable at both ends of the hash board (or replace the damaged data cable) and restart the operation if the number of hash boards shown in the miner’s backstage is less than the number of the miner’s actual hash boards.
3) The hash board has no hash rate and abnormal temperature sensor data.
Backstage, the miner checks the hash board online. Still, the hash rate is 0, or the number of chips is displayed as 0, or the temperature is abnormal (the temperature is different from other hash boards). At this point, kindly unplug and replug the data cables from the hash board’s two ends before turning it back on.
4) network lag, insufficient upstream and downstream bandwidth, or significant packet loss
The main sign of this problem is the mining pool’s high rejection rate.
2. The hash rate of the mining pool is less than the local hash rate of the MicroBT Whatsminer M50
The more typical options and solutions listed below are advised.
1) A handling fee is gathered by mining software, and the standard range for handling fees charged by mining software currently available on the market is between 1% and 5%.
The mining software has the following pricing structure: miners have 36 seconds and 72 seconds (3600 seconds X 1% and 3600 seconds X 5%) per hour to mine the wallet address of the mining software developer. The wallet address of the developer of the mining software, not the miner, received the hash rate submissions during this time. This is equivalent to between 1 hour and 24 hours, miners only spend 95%—99% of the time mining for miners, and the hash rate indicators of the mining pool are the average hash rate of 1 hour and the average hash rate of 24 hours, so the 1 hour and 24 hour average hash rate will therefore be 1%-5% less than the local hash rate. It can also be seen from this that mining software pumping has nothing to do with mining pools, and mining pools cannot control the pumping behavior of mining software.
Use malicious mining software with caution; they typically charge much more than 1%–5% and might even be infected with a virus.
2) 1% to 3% of data is lost in transit.
If there is a net loss of between 1% and 3%, the network transmission is lossy. The loss will, however, be much higher than 3% if the miner network has a problem (high rejection and delay rates).
3) Calculate the 0.5%–1% task switching loss.
There is a 0.5%–1% loss in hash rate when miners switch from the previous calculation task to the subsequent calculation task. The mining pool server continuously pushes the newest calculation tasks to the miners. This is inevitable.
4) Severe overclocking.
If the miners overclocking is severe, the calculated result is invalid, and the mining pool will not accept such a calculation result. Please check your miners and the internet if the difference between your local hash rate and the hash rate shown by the mining pool is greater than 8%. How to Overclock Whatsminer M50?
