Title: question on pool operations
Post by: jjj0923 on May 27, 2014, 06:55:17 AM
something that has baffled me is how do I get a payout from a pool if the pool has not found a block in let's say 'the last hour', but yet block times are shown as roughly four minutes

I'm a member of a dogepool and I'm consistently getting payouts

are they sharing the found block with all of the pother pools?

I ask because I'm thinking about setting my my own private pool for myself and a few friends so that we don't have to pay any fees and for a coin like dogecoin I'm wondering if I can go it alone with my 100 mh?

thanks in advance for your answers
