Zcash miner earnings vs blocks found

davidadrake 7 years ago • updated by Oliver 7 years ago • 1

I'm curious as to why the earnings for all miners on 4 found blocks @ 10 ZEC/block is only 23.43 ZEC. I've only got my measly 2.5k in it right now. An I missing something? I seem to remember reading something about pool operators and a 2-year block finding fee, something like 2.5 ZEC or something like that. Not sure if that came out of the reward or not, but that wouldn't amount to this much difference, right?

That's pretty easy to explain. Due to the low hashrate of the pool and the low frequency of found blocks, the pool has a pretty high fluctuation of miners. Therefore the majority of the block rewards went into miner balances that still haven't hit the payout limit.
