I didn't understand the idea. Can you explain better?
What would these "calculations" be like? Huh

The maximum reward Foundry got in an epoch for a block and the minimum, it would help point out irregularities, since if you see Foundry or any other constantly doing over 3 or 5 periods a maximum block fee two times the size of others then there must be something weird happening, same for a pool who has no variance whatsoever or for a pool that constantly mines blocks with low fees since it would mean they are maybe pushing a lot of their own transactions!!

But it would mean a lot of work and don't know if the results would really point out something!

Is there a website that simply lists the number of blocks and what is written on coinbase tag?
Something like this, but with longer information:
https://coin.dance/blocks#blockDetails

Not that I'm aware of unfortunately!

And lift-off, positive territory again,

I see Dallas going from min of -7C on Sunday to a min of +7C so the cold snap in Texas is over, so...maybe a 4% up now?

In terms of dollars, some of these changes seem less impressive. BTC price has slipped to $39,978.

You might want to add the maximum spread, so have an average per day and then the min/max data.
So let's say Foundry is at 35 but min is 15 and max is 55. (random numbers here not actual data), same would be for block fee.
But, it's every step is going to involve quite the work, depends on how much passion you put in this!

Don't you know of any website that lists who mined each block? And that has this information with the largest number of pools?

I collected the data from here: https://blockchair.com/dumps

This ckpool is not listed. It's probably within the "unknown" parameter.

Do you have another good source for me to find more details on which pool found each block?

In this sense, I can use the difficulty with the reference element to collect information, as it is unlikely that the same number will be repeated. Right?

I would say it's impossible, I can't think of any way to calculate the probability since hashrate fluctuates not only from luck but also from added gear, so it might never adjust backwards but even without this, once you need to hit exactly 16 digits in a % adjustment that would be closer to get not just the lottery numbers but in the right order!

So what do you think of this presentation?

Does the data make sense?
Would you prefer me to present the data in an image or in BBCode?

I'm still creating the table, which will present data on the number of blocks found between various fees intervals.

add cksolo pool

show fee per block average. you did this good

list them with the pool with the highest btc per block .you need to do this

if a jump is 2016 blocks and you are not playing with hashrates to raise your fees you should consistently be 6-13th place.

so basically you left out cksolo and you did not list in fee average order.

so kano pool was too small
ckpool was not listed
spiderpool is too small

so the last place pools are

SBIcrypto 3.57 coins a block. 42 blocks

slushpool 4.18 coins a block 29 blocks

so tracking them ten jumps in a row and seeing bad fee average over and over would looking like they are not fucking around.

all the pools above for this jump are fairly close like 4.5 to 4.9

they can be watched

And it shows how much of the mining is concentrated in the USA.

Hashrate, Nodes, ATMs, LN channels, now ETFs, payment gateways, slowly the USA is taking the lead in almost every aspect.
They still lack the volume in US based exchanges and an ASIC manufacturer but wait for it, and for ASICs I wonder what will happen after the halvening, normally an oversupply event should take place!
But, anyhow, the rest it's normal, everything goes where the $ (money) is!

Yeah, but it would take a ton of luck, an insane amount of it.
There was a difficulty adjustment of just a 0.1 and even that was way way way off:

637,056 2020-06-30 20:18:49 15,784,217,546,288 - 15.78 T 0.00 % 0x1711d519 10 min 01 s 112.84 EH/s
635,040 2020-06-16 19:51:07 15,784,744,305,477 - 15.78 T + 14.95 % 0x1711d4f2 08 min 42 s 112.98 EH/s

So the full number I would say impossible, you would right now need exactly this 4.0573947755841075% to go to the previous Grin

Thank you for the explanation.

Regarding your theory, it is really interesting, as it could be another element to take into consideration. And it shows how much of the mining is concentrated in the USA.

As for the negative adjustment, yeah, a nice breather, we just hit another low for income per th/s since December 2nd, basically we're looking at a 83% increase in price and roughly the same income as a year ago! Not great, not terrible but...still pretty bad!
If Texas powers up, fees keep decreasing we're sliding below 8 again.

And speaking of Texas, this is a new theory, lots of tinfoil!
What if the big guys have actually way more hashrate than Foundry and are mining intentionally either unknow of with some other pool to not trigger a fear of a 51%? All big ones have said they are turning off gear, there was a serious constant drop, but Foundry isn't losing mining share that radically

Over 3 months 28.26%, 1 month 29.07%, 1week 29.24%, 3 days 29.46%, 1 day 31.58%!
So, tinfoil hat on, are they actually mining over antpool and f2pool and others with a part of the gear to disguise the hashrate?

So looking at fees for each of the top ten 9 actual and 1 unknown for 10 months would be helpful.

That's what I'm thinking about doing, based on the tables I've shown.

Do you think it would be useful to add any more details?
What would be the best time interval: difficulty cycle or monthly?

if you want to do it by diff it is 26 times a year..

You could do it and commit to doing it that way for 6 months. which is 26 weeks or 13 times.

We should see trends in very uneven fee patterns by then.

Especially with it being cheaper to do the down then up clock patterns after the 1/2 ing.

about a day and change to go -4%

One thing I found interesting, in the example model I presented, Binance, despite only having a 6% hash weight, is the one that profits the most from mining fees. They tend to find more blocks when rates are higher than when they are lower.

Binance is the most curious case of all, sometimes I wonder what is with that pool and if it's even talking to the guys at the exchange

So here you have, Binance sending payments with 240sat/b in a block mined by Foundry:
https://mempool.space/tx/4d776e1cb6722a015a3799d60ef5051bfcb7d1813b473602261f8178131f7307

Binance consolidating (for 2 months already) with 10sat/vb

If somebody has an explanation for an exchange with a pool acting like this...I'm glad to hear it!

Of course, it is not yet possible to see a pattern here, because we are only analyzing a period of one month. But I found this fact curious.

Yeah but if they did it 10 months in a row 1st or 2nd it would be .2 to the 10 power a real long shot.

So looking at fees for each of the top ten 9 actual and 1 unknown for 10 months would be helpful.

especially for the bottom 3 pools. Since the concept is the fees are random for someone that does not do any hashrate manipulating.

If you never do hash rate under and over clocking to grab fees or shed fees and the others do it you likely end up near the bottom.

Should be fun as the ½ ing lowers the penalty for 6.25 rewards to 3.125 rewards do crowding the mempool will become easier todo in terms of cost.

price is at 42.2k
