hash rate Specify how many mega-hashes per second each worker (graphics card or cpu) is able to generate. hash rates examples

consumption The power consumption in watts of each individual worker. If you have multiple workers on a single computer (for example when using multiple graphics cards) remember to add the power consumption of the computer to the consumption of one of the workers, You may also add the extra power consumption as an additional worker generating 0 MH/s

pool commissions and donations Assuming you are using a pool, this figure represents the commissions taken by the pool or the percentage of earnings that you decide to donate to the pool. more on pool mining
