Collisions Per Minute
« Reply #1 on: November 10, 2013, 10:19:39 am »
I've made some updates to code to count collisions per minute rather than hashes per minute.

Some hashes generate 0 collisions, I've seen others generate up to 8.

Hashes per minute is a good metric to use if you're tweaking the speed of an algorithm.

Collisions per minute is a much better metric to judge your chances of finding a block. It is also much better to use when comparing algorithms which is what most end users of solo and pool miners will want to do.

Here's the code - it's a small adjustment.
