question please:
Your pool interests me and am thinking of joining.
However, being an infrequent miner, will it penalize me by mining only late at night and throughout the weekend?
Does pplns penalize you if you are an infrequent Bitcoin miner?
I have about 17000gh/s to throw your way.
No penalty. You get rewarded for your accepted share over the
last
n shares when the block is found.
Yours shares on the weekend will be counted if a block is found while you are not mining on Monday.
You not mining all daytime Friday will reflect if a block is found on the weekend with its 5n look back (currently ~4days 9hrs.).
It averages itself out to an effective hashrate "Your N Avg" for mining.
Thank You so very much for your reply. I have gotten in the habit of mining weeknights 11pm to 8am, and then 11pm Friday through 8am Monday as that is my Utility's "off peak" usage rate times. ( I was actually able to pay my electric bill last month w/ revenue from mining this way and have a little left over, LOL )
