I'd say they are pretty even. You get several <100% effort blocks with a ~150+% block here and there that kinda evens it out. It's variance and past historical deviations from mean don't guarantee same results in an upcoming time frame. In the long run (weeks), the means should be more or less similar though between VTC and MONA.


Basically what I'm trying to say is that you can't make a conclusion that just because VTC had a better run over the past week, it is going to have a better run next week as well.

I don't think I am the only one, but I struggle understanding your issue.


Also aren't you contradicting yourself here?

"I understand, that the shown workers hashrate is a average over minimum 10 minutes."

vs

"Workers rate on poolmining.org is (averaged over hours)"

Pool is restarted by the pool owner whenever he needs to do so to apply any source code update, so it's rather random and miners are usually offline only for couple of seconds before reconnecting, so the impact is minimal.

Can you clarify the issue? It's a bit confusing to follow your timeline. When did you start mining at this pool, when did you stop? What was your balance before the last block was found? Also, what was your average hash-rate throughout the time you have mined?

Sure, no problem mate. If you need payment in btc directly and you don't want to have to deal with an exchange, and you need regular smaller payouts, then it's understandable. Good luck.

The minimum payout is shown on the pool stats sidebar. It's 0.1 dash.

Not sure what you mean by "generate 1 day", but the pool hasn't found a litecoin block for several days, so that is the reason why your balance would show 0. You only get a reward when you participate in mining a block the pool finds. You don't get paid for all the blocks on the network.

The payout is explained in the FAQ, how many of your shares get payed out for a specific block depends on the blocks effort.


100% effort is the expected time it takes to find a block given the pool's hashrate and the network's difficulty.

If it is <100%, this means the pool found the block faster, using less effort than expected. Shares are the unit of effort. If the effort is <100%, some shares from previous block(s) are also included in the reward calculation given this is a PPLNS pool. See round 2 on the graphic in the FAQ.


If it is >100%, this means the pool found the block later, using more effort than expected. If the effort is >100%, more shares were generated than are used for reward calculation, and as a result of PPLNS, the shares early in the stack are silently dropped and not considered in the reward calculation. See the 5th round on the graphic in the FAQ.


So your outstanding shares balance will be considered for reward calculation when the block is found based on the effort as I explained above.


The share calculation was changed to reflect difficulty. Basically your new count is shares*difficulty. This way, miners can compare with each other how much they have actually mined against the pool given vardiff.

My bad, the effort is not over 100%, misread the poolstats. I am not able to provide an answer unfortunately. We'll have to check with the pool operator.


Just to clarify, can you be more specific as to what days you have mined?
