Ke/s is actually the kilo-encryptions (thousands of encryptions) per second of mining power in PKT. The higher the Ke/s, the higher the rewards you earn from mining.
Mining PKT requires two types of superpower: CPU and bandwidth. The faster the CPU, and the bandwidth, the higher the PKT mining rewards would be.
As you know not all CPUs are created equal, some CPUs have higher computer power whereas the others don’t.

In PKT mining, CPU power is calculated based on Ke/s, not the number of cores and threads. Learn more about the best CPUs for PKT mining.
When you successful mine PKT, you get messages like this:
1618394538 INFO annmine.rs:519 1093 Ke/s 25.17Mb/s overflow: [2040, 0, 0192] uploading: [11264, 4096, 20400] accept/reject: [12200/0, 0/0, 13312/0, 0/0] – goodrate: [05%, 100%, 0%]
Let me break it down the information for easy understanding:
- 1093 Ke/s 1093 kilo-encryptions (thousands of encryptions) per second of mining power.
- 25.17 Mb/s Total upload bandwidth (to all pools – combined) overflow: [0, 0, 3072, 0] Overflowed the internal queue of the ann miner, before it was even able to upload to the pool, one number for each pool you’re mining to.
- 2040 Number of anns which are not uploaded to pool #3.
- uploading [11264, 4096, 20400] Number of anns currently in-flight in active http requests, again 3rd pool is a problem, others are doing well (in this example).
- accept/reject [12200/0, 0/0, 13312/0, 0/0] Anns accepted/rejected by each pool, these numbers are based on the previous 10 seconds, pool #2 is giving zero acceptance which might be an issue, keep watching the next message 10 seconds later for another update.
- goodrate [05%, 100%, 0%] Goodrate = number of anns accepted divided by number of anns produced.
