 Note: See the details about the timing in README. It works ~4GH/s(400 * 11.8) at 400MHz.
 timing = (1 / (4 * 10 ** 9)) * 10 ** 9 (python format)
  • MHS Cur calculation
 MHS Cur = Diff1 Work * (Difficulty Accepted / (Difficulty Accepted + Difficulty Rejected + Difficulty Stale)) * 60/ Elapsed * 71582788 / 1000000
 Note：
 1.if Difficulty Accepted + Difficulty Rejected + Difficulty Stale = 0, then Difficulty Accepted / (Difficulty Accepted + Difficulty Rejected + Difficulty Stale) = 1.
