Question - why would a mining pool have orphaned credit (payout) transactions?
Just checking my pool - over the last 3 days I have about 50k karm worth of credits that were 'orphaned'.
Why would payouts be orphaned, how can I get them back?
Google orphaned block crypto
I understand what an orphan block is, in that someone has solved it before you thanks to network speed etc.
I'm sure I have plenty of invalid shares and block solves just like everyone else.
But if we're mining in a pool, aren't our payouts based on successful shares?
So why would a payout transaction be orphaned? That's what I'm seeing.
Some pools pay out orphans based on their pay out settings. Many make it up in fees, to keep things consistent for their members.
