💡 How Payouts Work (PPLNS Factor: 20)
This pool uses PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) with a factor of 20.0. Here's what that means in plain English:
When we find a block, we look back at the last ~3.3 hours of mining history. Everyone who contributed shares during those ~3.3 hours gets paid proportionally based on how much work they did.
Why this matters: Our pool is small, so it might take a very long time to find a block (statistically ~19 years at current hashrate). The high PPLNS factor (20) means that long-term miners get rewarded fairly. If you mine for weeks, months, or years, all your work is tracked and you'll get paid when we eventually find a block.
How it protects the pool: Pool hoppers who mine briefly and leave don't benefit. You need to be mining when the block is found (or within ~3.3 hours before) to get paid. This encourages loyal miners who stick with the pool long-term.
The math: Factor 20 = 20 × current network difficulty (~150 trillion) = ~3 quintillion difficulty worth of shares. At the global Bitcoin network's speed, that's about 200 minutes (3.3 hours) of history.
