Why keep open other pools ?
Can I ask you something? I would like you to tell me what you honestly think, since you have quite some experience.
Users mining on suprnova report that they get rewarded according to whattomine predictions.
So, according to whattomine right now, a 100S/s hashrate rewards a miner with 10.5 coins per day.
This means that a 65,000 hashrate would give 3505 coins per day.
65,000 S/s is suprnova's total hashrate.
3505 coins equal 350 blocks.
Suprnova (as yourself also noticed) mined 620 blocks in 24h.
This is a difference of 270 blocks in 24h.
Question:
If WTM is correct and miners report they get whatever WTM predicts, then where do these 270 blocks=2700 zer per day go?
If WTM is incorrect and suprnova indeed mines 620 blocks, how can miners report that they get what WTM predicts?
Am I wrong somewhere? I could. I am asking everybody to verify my calculations and to give feedback.
I think your math has an error.
If 100 Sols/s = 10.5 zer/day then 65,000 Sols/s would be 6,825 zer/day or 682.5 blocks. 62.5 more than suprnova mined, but only 9% off from the prediction.
On the matter of other pools, I think it is unhealthy for the network as a whole to be so heavy into one pool but even our second largest pool seems to have reliability issues that suprnova does not. I mined to suprnova for months and in all the time i've mined to it, it was only down once for a few hours. I started mining to forgetop when it came online, but I've lost count how many times it has gone down and have decided to go back to suprnova for a while. Hopefully when the community pool comes online it will prove more reliable.
