Hi,
I would like some explanations on aro.cool.
I have been mining for a few days at 16 H/s. I get paid approximately 10 ARO daily.
But when I search my wallet address on aro.cool, either in current shares or historic shares, I find nothing at all.
Questions:
- why does my wallet not appear on aro.cool?
- what is current shares?
- what is historic shares?
Finally how is my reward (10 ARO) determined?
Ok, let me try and explain how it all works -
why does my wallet not appear on aro.cool?
Your wallet address will only appear on aro.cool if you have found a valid share of the current block. A valid share means you have found a nonce with a lower value than 1-4mil. If that block is then consequently found by that particular pool, then you will be paid for your "work" done in solving the block. If the block is NOT found by the pool, your shares will go to historic shares. As soon as the next block is found, all your work done according to historic shares will be paid. Bear in mind however, for every block that is not found by the pool, your historic shares reduce in value by 5%.
Also, after you have been paid, if you find no more shares for a while, your address will disappear from the shares list. As soon as a share is found by you again, your address should show again.
The only difference with this now is that aro.cool, the pool itself, is counted as a miner on aropool.com. The total hash rate from aro.cool is pointed towards aropool.com. So you are technically now mining on aropool.com, but as a collective from aro.cool. As soon as aro.pool earns 1000 ARO, it is split accordingly to the miners, depending on hash rate and work done.
what is current shares?
Current shares are the "work" you have done towards finding the current block.
what is historic shares?
Historic shares are the "work" you have done towards finding previous blocks that were NOT found by the pool.
I hope this makes a little more sense now.
