Attention miners, we are switching to PPS starting December 20th between 17:00 and 18:00 UTC!
Why?
In order to provide the fairest pool for all miners the payout scheme will be changed to Pay Per Share (PPS). Miner payouts will no longer be dependent on the pool finding blocks, instead you will receive payouts directly based on the shares submitted. All fees will continue to be transparent and listed on your "Worker Statistics" page.
When?
On December 20th between 17:00 and 18:00 UTC.
How?
The pool will be restarted to switch to the new payout scheme. Downtime is expected to be minimal, join us on Discord for updates. All existing worker statistics (including Hashback rates) will be carried over. When miners reconnect they will automatically start mining using the PPS scheme, NO CHANGES are necessary when connecting to the pool.
Any changes to the pool fee or Hashback rates?
No! The base pool fee will remain 1%, existing Hashback rates for all miners will carry over. Keep mining to earn more Hashback and lower your pool fee.
How are the PPS rewards calculated?
The PPS rewards are calculated per XMR block for each miner. The total difficulty of the submitted shares from the miner during the XMR block is divided by the XMR block difficulty. This value is then multiplied by the XMR block reward to compute the miner's PPS reward for the XMR block.
How will I be able to track PPS rewards?
The pool PPS rewards will be available on a new "PPS Statistics" page. The total PPS rewards plus the rewards, fees, etc. per XMR block will be displayed.
In addition a new "PPS" section of the "Worker Statistics" page will list recent PPS rewards for the worker.
