Title: New block detected? Post by: Nalbo on September 22, 2017, 10:52:26 AM When I get a new block detected message in my miner, what does it mean? Is it the pool detecting or my miner getting a job or completing the job?
Does my mining reward actually depends on the average hash of my machine or the total hash I submit or the results accepted by the pool? Title: Re: New block detected? Post by: wavelengthsf on September 22, 2017, 01:28:57 PM It means that a new block was detected on the network, not that you found one or even that your pool found one. It basically restarts all work building on the new block ID instead of the one you were working on previously.
The reward you get is based on total accepted shares to the pool -- that's how the pool determines your hashrate. Title: Re: New block detected?

The specific example was from xmr-stack. So sometimes my results are accepted quick, several times per minute. Than the pool raises my difficulty and I believe though the results are accepted every 5-10 mins, my reward wont be different? Title: Re: New block detected?

If you are trying to mine from home, you will see this over and over because you don't have the power to create a share or solve a block and your software will always be plugging away at the last block when the new one comes along. You have basically created a nice little command line notification system for new blocks and maybe even diff changes, cool.

For me, the difficulty changes several times before I get an accepted share from pool. Does that mean my work on those difficulty being wasted? Title: Re: New block detected? Post by: dave4925 on September 24, 2017, 01:08:13 AM new block you can ignore, it just means someone won the block reward. It could be your pool or another pool. You get paid for the shares you submit that are accepted and valid.
Title: Re: New block detected? Post by: trademark on September 24, 2017, 01:38:18 AM Yeah it just means someone else just found the previous block and now it's on the next one. It's nothing exciting until you find your own block. Seeing this post makes me want to mine cryptos again but I sure don't miss the heat that's involved.
