I will have a look at this. Anybody else have this problem?
2) Can you please explain how this works:
Ratio: Amount of your shares required until a block was found in average.
Do you mean: Average of shares required by the pool to find X blocks? What is the X (or timeframe)? Or is this "my" ratio?
It is a value to show the quality of your miners/shares compared to others.
Why does it matter my ratio? If I found a block it will be distributed to the pool so I don't understand why to increase my difficulty. Increasing my difficulty will not help the pool. Right? How can I see "my" work difficulty?
My % is always over 150%. I don't understand why... Is this measure something similar to "Lucky"? If my lucky is good then it is better for the pool. Right?
I'm not completely sure if it look or some question of configuration. What I can say: There are some miners whos solutions create blocks with much less shares then the average, and others need a LOT more shares for the same work.
This system is designed to even out the difference, to make it fair for everybody.
Or in other words: Without that system, I would have to kick out everybody with a bad ratio. This way, they can stay and still get a fair share.
But I can not answer the "why is the ratio different". It might be luck, or something else "nobody" understood yet.
By the way, you can not see your difficulty. I just changed the inner working of this, away from HashTarget Difficulty to the validation of the solutions send by the client. This is still in testing, we will see if it works good.
3) I have 5 PCs that generate the same HPS than 1 PC. However, the 1 PC is giving me half of the Shares than the 5 PCs. Is it more efficient to have more low-CPUs PCs than 1 more powerful PC?
You should check your configuration, maybe genproclimit is wrong? On all of my systems, the amount of shares is exactly what I would expect from the calculation power
And last but not least, one recommendation. Guys, after the last 20 BBP per RAC rule, you should make POW simpler to avoid people running away. The 10 Miners limit on the official pool and the 150% rule on purepool are just creating confusion and giving the impression that you don't want newcomers to join or invest (through POW mining) on BBP. Not everybody can buy a high amount of BBP through exchanges.
The 150% rule is not there to confuse people, but it is required for a healthy pool. I had disabled it in silent in the last 3 days, but immediately people saw that and tried to get an advantage. This is a normal problem for pools, as often people will try to fake things and the pool needs to "answer" that. I added the ratio on the statistics for transparency.
By the way, you can always see the inner workings of the Purepool in the Github repository (
