How is the Monero network hashrate calculated and how is it different than bitcoin?

I've read somewhere that the Monero network hashrate is only an estimation based on the current network difficulty. Is this different than the conventional (bitcoin-like) network hashrate measurements, and if so, why?

How does one compare Monero's hashrate with the hash generating power of the world's supercomputers?

Now I know that it is not a genuine 1:1 comparison but this was often a comparison used for fun to try and comprehend just how much computing power the Bitcoin network was comparatively generating. If the worlds top 100 supercomputers were suddenly…

Which mining of Monero is more cost efficient CPU or GPU?

Which mining of Monero is more cost efficient (both use same expensive energy) CPU (INTEL CORE I3-6300T LOW POWER TRAY PROCESOR - CM8066201927004) or GPU (Nvidia 750Ti)? I know GPU mining gives you higher hashrate but it also uses more energy.

ccminer-cryptonight reports insanely high hashrate on nvidia gpu

I decided today to give Monero mining a try. First I tried mining with my CPU using wolf9466/cpuminer-multi and I get about 120H/s which I think is fair for three threads on my AMD CPU. Then I tried the tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight fork on a spare…

Does the miner program used affect the hashrate?

While mining Monero I have noticed the the hashrate is different depending on the miner used: When I use the xmr-stack miner I get 100H/s approximately between the CPU and GPU. When I use Minergate I get 45 H/s on the CPU and 110 H/s on the GPU,…

Do cryptonight hash speeds mirror scrypt and SHA-256 hash speeds?

There are various websites that tabulate SHA-256 & scrypt hash speeds of various hardware. I wonder how these correspond to crytonight hash speeds. Are they correlated? Or does the correlation break depending on chip architecture?

Any ways to increase hashrate?

I wonder why no one ever asked this question before... Are there ways to increase the hashrate? I know that overclocking and a CLI based OS could increase the hashrate. But I'm sure there are more than two.. What tricks are you probably using and…
