Topic: How to check if pool is not stealing from me? (Read 243 times)
count up your hashrate, divide it by all the hashrate of the chain you are mining and multiply by the block rewards over T, remove officially stated fees and compare the number with whatever the pool pays you over T. Use something reasonable for T like 100 blocks mined to smooth out the bumps.
Use several pools and compare hash results, dont forgot take into account the speed of pool (Mh)
generally you should be able to calculate your hashrate against difficulty and see what you should be getting on average.
minus some stale shares and the pool fee.

Easiest way is to run your own pool. You wouldn't cheat yourself, would you?
I can mine solo as well, but I would find a block once in a lifetime probably
Good evening everybody,
How do you make sure pool is not stealing from me/cheating? What are the methods and ways of making sure they are paying out what we have mined/earned honestly

what pool/s are you using/having concerns?
I`m using zcash flypool.
Assume all pools are stealing, You should list the pool and most people can tell how badly they are stealing.

Hi,
It is almost impossible.
Simple example : Even if you can check your shares count, you won't be able to check if the total number of shares indicated by the pool has not been manipulated.
If you have doubt, change to another one
