Mining is probabilistic in nature: if you
find a block earlier than you statistically should on average you are lucky
if it takes longer, you are unlucky. In a perfect World pool would find a
block on 100% luck value. Less then 100% means the pool was lucky. More then
100% means the pool was unlucky.
It depends on amount of active miners. The
more miners work on pool → the more hashrate pool has → the more blocks are
found by the pool. However the more miners are active → the less reward you
get from each block found.
The estimated payout is a calculated using
your percentage of valid shares on the total for current round. This
percentage is then applied to the reward of the last block found by the
network.
Since you start to mine your hashrate grows
gradually. Please wait. The pool determines your hashrate based on the
amount of shares sent by your mining rigs (workers). This value could be a
little bit different from reported hasrate (in your mining software).
We consider hopping if you come with at
least double of the total pool hashrate, send tons of shares for short
period of time and leave. We respect our miners and protect them as much as
we can. All pool hoppers' shares will be removed and he or she will not get
paid.
