... what would be the bonus for him?

I've wondered about that for a while too! -ck, any easy way to estimate?

It's always been a small reward for small miners. It's approximately equal to the minimum payout threshold for the pool so if you were always below threshold, it would start putting you into the next payouts list.

I've been tempted to increase it but if I increase it too much that would start biasing towards the biggest miner, taking away from everyone else and we only really have one very big miner.

And just for the record, here is the equation:
herp = sqrt(MIN(sdiff, network_diff) / diff) * diff / 2;

Current network diff is 5.3 trillion, and being an S9 his mining diff would have been about 10k.

So the block solving share would have counted for about 115 million HERP when a normal share at 10k diff averages 10k.

And here I was about to post some random beer pic.

Seems like a large increase from 1 hash = 1 hash. 11.5k% up, lotteries are fun. Thinking I'll drink the winderlea. Cause fuck, it was a nice run that's now making four days seem long. I blame philipma's lack of menu. just sayin'.

Got busy planning a new bathroom remodel. Going for 2 racks of lamb ribs. One for the wife one for me. Dessert will be Mt Rainier cherries and Hammonton New Jersey blueberries piled on top of greek yogurt which will have a sprinkling of sliced almonds.

May skip drinking of alcohol and simply go with black coffee. Of course I can pour a few shots of homemade vanilla vodka in it. Grin
