You read correctly - it's a 5N window.  That means that you get paid for all shares that are within a window of 5 times the network difficulty.

My own Avalons have found a couple blocks - so maybe yours will be lucky as well

Hey there,

Not going to lie, I have not read all 92 pages.

Just wondering does this pool have a ramp up time? I saw the snipit about 5N, just not sure what that means in the grand scheme of things.

I love the idea behind a 1 BTC bounty. Thinking of tossing a a couple Avalons here for a while or at least having this pool as my backup.

Thanks for keeping a small pool alive and an option.


EDIT: Forgot to mention kudos on the website, I didn't know what to expect but it's very nice, especially for a small pool

smegwit has nothing to do with it, hashrate is the key... 

 I think SegWit activation is making this round longer

In other words, you have about 1 year of mining without being able to withdraw?
on the page shows that the last block found was in 2016, or am I wrong?

Kind of exciting that we're just 8 days from the expected timeframe.

Good luck root$!  Find that block and the 1BTC bonus is yours

Starscat, the statistics you want are available on the pool's statistics page.  There you can clearly see how long the round is, when the last block found was, how far into the current round we are, and the expected length of the round.

And for example, is there an average of how often is a block in your mining pool? Or how much is the longest time it took to find a block ?. I only have one Antminer S7, only one.

  Is a good idea !
   The problem is that the blocks hide behind the tremendous btc network block difficulty: 1931136454487.716

It's Friday, and I'll be throwing some rental hash at the pool. Join in and let's put this round to bed.

Hi starscat,

Don't be afraid to ask questions.  Without asking, one can never learn

All pools (excluding true PPS) require miners to find blocks before payments can be made.  Even slush's pool.  The reason you get paid on slush when you reach 0.01BTC is because the pool has found blocks to provide the funds with which you are paid.

Let's give an example that might help clear things up.  In our example, the pool finds a block a day, and your mining gear gets you about 0.001 coins per day.  Let's also assume that the pool's minimum payout is 0.01BTC.  Every day the pool finds a block, and 0.001BTC is marked for you.  10 days later, you've now got 0.01BTC set aside for you.  Since that matches the minimum payout value, the pool creates a transaction and sends that coin to you.

Now, let's take a look at that same example, except this time, the pool only finds a block every 10 days.  On day one, no block found, so there is no coin to mark as yours.  Day 2, same thing.  Repeat until day 10 when the pool finds a block.  In those 10 days, you've been constantly mining.  When that block is found, the pool sees that you've contributed shares equal to 0.001BTC a day, so 0.01BTC is set aside for you.  Oh look, that matches the 0.01BTC payout threshold, so the transaction is created and you receive your coin.

At the end of the 10 days, the exact same amount of coin has been sent to you.

Let's change it once again such that your mining gear would expect to earn you 0.01BTC a day.  In the first scenario, you would receive a payout of 0.01BTC every day for 10 days, resulting in a total of 0.1BTC.  In the second scenario, you would receive a single payout on day 10 of 0.1BTC.  Yup, exactly the same.

Please note, I simplified this and didn't include any network difficulty fluctuations in my examples.

Hope this helps!

Jonny

I have a doubt regarding this pool (I'm pretty new at this). Only payments are received when the block is completely mined? I mean, in Slushpool whenever I get to 0.01btc they send me the payment automatically, here it works the same or how? And sorry for the novice that I am haha.

Right now, it's back to the 1BTC finder's bonus.  If that changes, I'll post here

Hi Jonny,

What's the current (post new year) bonus?

Thanks and happy new year!

 Good effort
 May the mining gods be with you 
 Merry Christmas

Well... I tried. 6 hours @ 200 TH couldn't crack a block. This is why I stay away from casinos & lottery. Back to 2.4 TH. Merry Christmas everyone! May Santa fill your stockings with greatness. 

Looking for that perfect last minute gift?  I've got just the thing!  Point your miners to bravo-mining.com and if you find a block before the end of the day tomorrow, you'll get 1.225BTC.  Now that's a nice stocking stuffer!

It'll be a nice stocking stuffer for sure

Holy crapola, bravoman, that's almost US$23k!  (ATM)
Christmas comes but once a year, I'd like that extra btc in my stocking for sure!
Mine On 

All,

It's one week to Christmas.  I'm increasing the block finder's bonus.  If you are the next miner to find a block, you will get 1.225BTC bonus.

Merry Christmas and good luck everyone!
