Feature request: Info about the mining process

[Vort]

I have found that it is possible to display keys mining speed with -d option.
For single core of my i5-4690 result is:
09:08:39 [DEBUG] alfis::keys: Mining speed 14 H/s
Which means that for 50% mining chance I need to spend 5 days (if my calculations are correct).

Either Windows build use no optimizations or this software targets only users with modern hardware.
By the way, I think that mining speed should also go to UI somewhere, not only to console with additional flags.

There is no way to make any estimates.
But everything else will appear in Events tab. When I'll get some time to work on it.

[Vort]

At least, it is possible to write in documentation if it takes minutes, hours or days with average PC.

@Vort, it takes from 30 seconds to 40 minutes on my Ryzen 7 3700X. Is it worth of mentioning?

[Vort]

It is better than nothing. Thanks.
Theoretically, it should be possible to obtain result like "90% of mining chance in xx minutes on Ryzen 7 3700X".

Hmmmmm. Currently I have 44 blocks and my hash rate is ranging from 2 H/s to 12 H/s. Like, I just want to have a domain for yggdrasil. I don't exactly have a fancy gpu. Not that I can tell if Alfis is even using the internal GPU at all. So, I'm currently trying to work out how long it would take to mine, especially since Alfis is leaning more towards 2 H/s.

@alexis-evelyn looks like several months :(
@Revertron what is hashrate for your CPU (both single core and all cores)?

I noticed the author has closed this ticket, although it seems like @Vort suggested some interesting way to express mining speed through probabilities. Is this still on radar?

As an extra info: how should the speed be interpreted? I don't know what the unit "H/s" indicates ("something" per second, I guess, but what?)

Hashes per second. Keypairs are generated and for each public key hash is calculated, until sequence with 23 zero bits is found (source [ru]).

I have a Ryzen 9 3900X (a better one I think) and it's already taking more than an hour. How did you get this numbers?
