Nice block! Not sure why my block % dropped by 1/3rd within the last 5 minutes of the block being found. Scratching my head on that one... Guessing the pool takes a 33% fee
No, it was that big miner 16vV8 with 240PH that came on the pool for 24 hours that made all of our block% drop. His work counted as well and the pool only takes a fee of 0.9%.
When he (16vV8...) was live, his large hash rate dropped my block % significantly (as with everyone else's block %), which makes sense. When I looked 5 minutes before the block was found and right after the block was found the difference there was about a 33% drop. I've been focusing a lot more attention to Kanopool for almost 1 month, but I just can't wrap my head around this issue - hopefully Kano can chime in sometime and give some clarification to me.
The 5Nd is straight forward.
As it says on Help->Payouts, your part of each block reward is your % of the work done in the last 5Nd - so that's pretty straight forward.
However, the pool changing hash rate is a different issue, that usually gets discussed when luck is low
If the pool hash rate is 400PH then we
expect to find 8 times as many blocks per week than if it was 50PH
So when luck is 100% you will get 8 times as many rewards when the pool is 400PH than when the pool is 50PH
But those 8 rewards will be 1/8 of the reward when the pool is 50PH
However, nothing is ever that clear cut, since the hash rate changes, and the luck changes every single block.
How many blocks we
do find is random, and the pool hash rate will not decide that.
You can't predict when the next block will be found, so you can't tell in advance if your next reward will be better than
expected (< 100% diff block) or worse than
expected (> 100% diff block)
Help->Luck explains what to
expect.
Edit: On the Workers page your "Block %" is your % of the work since the last block we found.
That % is not 5Nd unless the block we next find is a 500% Diff block (which we certainly hope it isn't)
