Last night at around midnight, I noticed something weird. Two random miners popped into my pool for like 5 milliseconds, then just vanished. Now my hashrate is showing under 30TH/s. How is that even possible? Anyone got an idea? Here’s a screenshot of the miners joining and the hashrate drop.
Help with weird mining issue

Sounds like a glitch to me. No way someone can connect and disconnect that fast. This isn’t a hack either. I had a similar experience where my miner seemed to gain free hashrate, but it turned out to be a network issue. Check if your internet is stable. Sometimes my miner would randomly disconnect and reconnect, adding extra workers on my dashboard.
I’ve got multiple mining setups, so I know how confusing it can get. Maybe that’s part of the reason for your issue.
Honestly, I don’t bother with short-term data like that. I sometimes test my rigs on other wallets and forget, mining for hours without realizing. It’s better to check weekly or monthly stats to see how everything is really performing.
