Here is my challenge to all you miners using Ethereum Mining Pools.

What is your ETH Pool rewarding you versus Ethereum Network Stats (Etherscan)?

Step by Step to calculate the % of earnings difference you need to answer the question:


For any pool you are using:

• go Etherscan Ethereum Network Statistics mining calculator: https://etherscan.io/ether-mining-calculator
• insert your average hashrate (same as is being reported by your Pool) and put zeros on power consumption and costs, leave other fields by default
• press Calculate button and take note your value for "Etherscan Profit per month"
• go to your Pool section of "Estimated earnings" and take note your "Estimated Earnings per month"
• calculate the difference in x% = ("Estimated Earnings per month" - "Etherscan Profit per month") / ("Etherscan Profit per month")

For a more accurate estimate you have to account for the percentage of stale shares. But overall it's between 5 to 10% for me.
