Monero - shares remain after new block was found

Szymon 7 years ago • updated by r00k 7 years ago • 2

Hello folks,


I did not find similar issue/question described so please bear with me if it was already posted. 


I am mining Monero with 1kh/s for last 15 days, till today i had 580 M shares and 3 hours ago new block was found but i have only received 0.067 Monero and I still have 510 M shares so this number only decreased by 70 M . Could you please explain me why? Is it some kind of bug or maybe I am doing something wrong ?

Read up on what PPLNS is. It's described in the FAQ as well. The reason why shares never drop to 0 after a block is found, is because part of your shares that you mined for that block can be considered for reward calculation for the subsequent block as well. See round 2, 4, 6 or 7 on the image.


As to whether or not 0.067 is a lot or not is subjective really. Since the block we found was of 130% effort, if you've been mining here for the entire duration of the effort, not all your shares were considered for reward calculation. Again turn to the image on the FAQ and look at round 5.

Hi Happy, I was trying to 'reverse engineer' the PPLNS ...

Based on my understanding, 130% effort would mean the red line is 30% ( ~shares long~ ).

Implying that 30% of the shares are silently dropped, so Szymon' 70M should be 580M * 0.3 = 174M

And its reward should be around Reward * (580 - 174)/(total pool shares for the round)  ?


For me I did a simple math, I have ~ 2.5KH/s  and the pool was ~ 100KH/s with Reward = 5.584

5.584 * ( 2.5 / 100 ) = 0.1396   [ which was basically my paid out +/- my & the pool H/s rounded approx error ]


Anyways, very happy for not gave up after soooo many days!!!

I would like to give a beer to everyone in the pool... but I didn't met my ROI yet!  lol


Happy New Year to all.
