Question: Hashes Accepted are?
-
Still working on a complete idiots guide to mining and have a question.
When mining I get a number of accepted hashes whilst working with a pool. Am I right in assuming that these accepted hashes are attempts at solving the block, then ticked off a list of attempted hashes so that no other miner in said pool attempts to repeat?
What I guess I am asking is, that an accepted hash is an attempt to solve the block hash and isn’t repeated until a new block is found.

pretty much.
Though each share on a pool is a smaller/easier (lower difficulty) hash than if you were solo mining. They are then joined together to make a proper (full difficulty) hash. How it happens is witchcraft as far as i’m concerned. :-\
Serraz or d2 will likely give you a much more technically correct answer… Chaps?

This confuses me a little more ;)
So hash can be broken up, or actually put together by component parts? Off to research some more.
