1) What is a mining pool?+
This pool runs in SOLO mode.
Each miner works independently.
If your miner finds a valid block, you receive the full reward .
2) Why use a pool instead of solo mining directly?+
A SOLO pool provides reliable stratum servers, monitoring, and automatic payouts,
while preserving true SOLO reward rules.
3) How are rewards calculated?+
Rewards are not calculated from shares.
A payout occurs only when your miner finds a block accepted by the Bitcoin network.
4) What are “shares”?+
Shares prove that your miner is working.
In SOLO mining, shares do not generate partial payouts.
5) Does higher hashrate mean higher earnings?+
Higher hashrate increases your probability of finding a block,
but does not guarantee earnings.
6) Why do earnings change day to day?+
SOLO mining has high variance.
Long zero-earning periods followed by sudden full rewards are normal.
7) What is pool “luck”?+
Luck compares expected vs actual block discovery.
It does not change payout rules or take rewards from miners.
8) Can a pool cheat miners?+
No.
Block rewards are enforced by Bitcoin consensus.
A valid block always pays its finder.
9) What fees does the pool charge?+
None. There are zero pool fees and no charges for using the mining statistics portal. We do not take a percentage, fixed fee, success fee, or any hidden fees under any circumstances.
10) What payout methods are used?+
This pool uses SOLO only.
PPS, PPLNS, and FPPS are not used.
11) How often are payouts made?+
Payouts occur automatically when you mine a valid block.
12) Why is my balance not changing?+
Accepted shares do not create balance.
Balance updates only when you mine a block.
13) Is higher latency bad?+
Higher latency can reduce efficiency,
but does not reduce the reward size of a found block.
14) Can downtime affect earnings?+
Yes.
If your miner is offline, it cannot find blocks.
15) How do I know the pool is healthy?+
Pool health is visible via node sync, network status, and connectivity indicators.
16) What does “Public Stats” mean on this pool?+
Public Stats means pool and network information is visible without an account.
This improves transparency and allows anyone to independently verify pool health.
17) Why does my hashrate on the pool differ from my miner’s screen?+
Pool hashrate is an estimate based on recently submitted shares.
Short-term differences are normal and expected, especially in SOLO mining.
18) What does “peer response” or latency measure?+
Peer response measures how quickly your miner communicates with the pool.
Temporary spikes can occur and do not indicate cheating or payout problems.
19) Why do I sometimes see very high latency values?+
Latency is sampled periodically and may include brief network delays.
Occasional high values are normal and do not affect block reward size.
20) What does “stale” mean on the Network page?+
“Stale” indicates data is waiting for a fresh update.
It does not mean the pool or your miner is broken.
21) How often are pool and network stats updated?+
Stats update automatically at regular intervals.
Short delays can occur during network congestion or node synchronization.
22) Why does my balance show zero even though I’m mining?+
In SOLO mode, balances do not increase from shares.
Your balance changes only when you personally mine a valid block.
23) What happens if the pool goes offline?+
If the pool is offline, miners cannot submit work.
Mining resumes automatically once connectivity is restored.
24) How can I verify that blocks are paid correctly?+
All mined blocks are publicly verifiable on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Block rewards are enforced by the network itself, not the pool.
25) Is this pool suitable for small miners?+
SOLO mining favors higher hashrate miners due to variance.
Small miners should understand that long periods without payouts are normal.
