Mining Fees Question

Hi All,

I have a few questions regarding mining fees for Z-enemy miner 1.08.  The fee is clearly stated as being 1% or 1 minute of mining for every 100 minutes. 

Due to pure random chance I happened to observe the mining fee period and I saw the following:

15:52:29  Mining Some Dev Fee
...
Bunch of hash order commands
...
15:55:05 Done Mining Dev Fee

The 1% fee in this instance appeared to take ~2.5 minutes.  It might actually be a 1% fee but it might have an impact on mining of 2.5%. 

But maybe the mining period is not literally 1 minute every 100 minutes.  If it was 2 minutes every 200 minutes then there wouldn't be as much impact on mining if the mining duration is 2.5 minutes.

  • How long does it normally take to mine the 1% fee?
  • Is 2.5 minutes for 1% a typical duration?
  • Is this how all Ravencoin miners work if they have a fee?
  • What do others see when using this miner during the fee mining period?

Don't let my questions indicate I don't like this miner or the fact that it has a fee.  It appears to be quite fast and if the speed difference is significant (which I think it is) the fee is worth it.  I just want to have the appropriate expectations especially when comparing a miner with a fee versus a miner that does not have a fee.   

Your insight is appreciated.


Thanks!
