2) Is this PPS or PPLNS? It is labeled as score based pplns, but even after disconnecting from the pool for near 24 hours, come back and still have tons of shares. Or is all the math figured out when a block is found? It would seem that if people can disconnect for 24+ hours and still have active shares, it would drastically reduce the payout for active miners. Especially since the rounds are so long.
It is neither.
Perhaps reading the 1st post where how the pool operates is described would help?
Geez, why even post? You added 0 to this thread. Of course I read that, it the exact same info on the front page of the site.
Its labeled as SPLNS.
Score per last number of shares. Avoid pool hopping. Well, if I can collect shares, disconnect for 24+ hours and still get a payout, I don't see how this stops pool hopping. After not mining for 24+ hours, my derp showed my estimate as around $5 worth of BTC. And before I disconnected from the pool I was at around $8 in BTC based of the derp score. I am sure even days later I would still have some derp.
That sounds really terrible and most likely why people are not joining this pool. If a block was found daily, sure. But extremely long rounds, now you end up having to split the reward with 100's of others that haven't mined in days.
I guess I will check my derp in another 24 hours and see.
But if someone can answer my question - Is this basically how it works? Or is derp re-calculated on block find? I think the code is available so can check myself, but figure easier to simply ask people that have been mining here for a while.
What you need to understand is the pool has 869 th forget the ½ ing forget difficulty adjustments and go with 5n and 869th
869 x 0.00001662 = 0.01444278 btc then 12.5/0.01444278 = 865 this is 1n so 5n = 4325 days
so our current real time 5n is 4325 days disregarding
the ½ ing
the difficulty
the fact that the pool may get more hash power
the fact that the pool may lose more hash power
but right now our 5n is 4325 days. so shutting off for a day or two or three or four means
the following
4324/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for a day
4323/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for 2 days
4322/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for 3 days
4321/4325 retention of earnings if you power off for 4 days
Now of course just to fuck with your head I or anyone else can rent 10ph or 20ph from nicehash point it here for a day and that 869th hashrate I based all the calculations on will get distorted.
I used the following constants of
869 th
0.00001662 btc a th daily earnings.
12.5 coin reward
to get a 4325 day 5n
Reality is all of those constants can and will change
