Determines effective hash rate, also used by the pool to report hash rate.
* Line 3: Effective hash rate calculated from share rate and stratum difficulty.
Effective hash rate discounts rejected shares which are reported as lost hash rate.
The effective hash rate is the real performance of the miner once luck is factored in. It is also most
closely correlated with the pool's reported hash rate. The effective hash rate will fluctuate above and
below the miner reference hash rate according to luck (ie share rate). A low share rate will increase
volatility. Over time the mean effective hash rate should converge to the miner's reference hash rate
if everything is normal.
