Hi
Started mining here last week and have a question about payouts:
Block 21835 shares 24,610,773 reward .05694150
Block 21824 shares 22,496,268 reward .06928195
Same hash rate, is this because the pool total hash rate is increasing?
Thanks
Yes.
If slush's pool hashrate increases and the network hashrate stays the same (in other words people shifting existing miners to slush), and your hashrate stays the same:
then
You find more blocks per day but your share descreases - effect is same amount of coins on average per day.
If slush's pool hashrate stays the same but the network hashrate increases (in other words new miners are added to the network and no new miners added to slush), and your hashrate stays the same:
then
You find the less blocks per day and your share descreases - effect is decreasing amount of coins on average per day.
If slush's pool hashrate increases and the network hashrate increases too (in other words new miners are added to the network and new miners added to slush), and your hashrate stays the same:
then
You find the same blocks per day but your share descreases - effect is decreasing amount of coins on average per day.
Moral of the story is...
