According to blockchain.info, the above blocks were found in the past 24 hours.

That means that EclipseMC only found 2 blocks equating to ~$900 USD.

Is that all - $900 USD - that is divided among all the clients of EclipseMC dependent on the hash rate they contributed to the pool?



Each block = 25 coins (plus fees), not 1 coin.

There are certainly small pools that only get 1-2 blocks per day, or even wait multiple days for a block. At the target block difficulty there are only 144 blocks per day so a 1% pool expects to get 1-2 of them. Nothing out of the ordinary there.


I just found my error and was going to post such, hoping to lock this thread (will do now) prior to anybody commenting.

I'm such an idiot that needs clinical help.  Roll Eyes
