Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well. I've got a question about something I keep running into. So, I've noticed that the real-time power in my pool (I'm using Btc) sometimes drops unexpectedly. I've checked my setup, and everything seems fine. No restarts on my gear, and my internet connection is solid. Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening? Appreciate any help!
And how much up and down 1%? 10%? 50%?
There is going to be a fair amount of variation because there is an amount of luck involved. So long as over a long period (couple of days) the average is about where it should be you are fine. If you are checking minute to minute there can be some big swings.
Most (All?) pools give you that number.
Also, what miner are you using?

I think what you talking about is the hash rate report on the pool compared to the miner's current hash rate.
If I'm right I think it's due to high ping it can cause delay. Try to change the pool with low ping. Some pools have 3 options ASIA, EU, and US pool servers if you are living in Asia you should use Asia pool or if you are living in the US then use US pool.
If using other pool doesn't fix your issue try to change your miners network from DHCP to Static and use Google/Cloudflare DNS. Update here if it works
Good evening, I use the pool at https://pool.btc.com/.. And sometimes my "Power" or "BTC Hash Rate" suffers sudden drops, by this I mean that I have a BTC Hash Rate of 10,000 PH/s For example, and it lowers me to 9,000 PH/s. This without having to restart my mining equipment
1) Does it go back up again?
2) What speed are miners showing on the GUI when this happens?
3) Are you running the stock firmware?
In general 10% is at the edge, but still within normal ranges of variation.
Much more then that and I would start checking network speeds and connections.
Also, what time period is it showing those numbers for? If it's a 1 or 5 or 15 minute average then it's not important the 24 hours number is what you are looking for.

Yes, the BTC hash rate goes up again after these lows but it happens in varied periods of time 3min, 5min.. And well, this is why my 24H is also affected.
As for the "GUI" I don't know exactly what I should see, I'm not very informed of everything that I should take into account when reviewing the equipment.
If they run if Original Firmware.
Have you tried to monitor your all units sometimes hash rate drop due to overheating Bitmain units automatically increase or reduce the frequency and fan of the hashboard depending on their temp?
Better use a monitoring tool to find out what exactly happens to your miners, Bitmain has free monitoring tools that you can check here "MAnagement tools"
Sometimes the pool is down If I were you try switching to another Sha256 pool so that you can check if it's due to the pool server.
You can try ViaBTC pool or try any other pools from this link https://miningpoolstats.stream/
The machines are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the area where they operate is prepared to be at temperatures of 22 °C (71.6 °F
) with the help of Two Evaporative cooling pad systems and 4 Air Conditioners.
The equipment can have a continuous fiancement without any shutdown or reboot of these and the BTC Hash Rate can still drop.
