Zero X Pool

The finder takes a flat 50% of the block. Everyone else splits what is left in proportion to their luckiest hash for that block — the finder is excluded from that split, so they cannot be paid twice. Both figures update as the round goes on.

Derived from your accepted shares: the work submitted in each bucket, converted to hashes per second. Short bars are normal — finding shares is random, so a single bucket swings either side of your real rate. The trend over a few buckets is the honest number.

The luckiest hash you found in each bucket. This is what actually decides whether you win a block: a share only needs to beat the network target once. Plotted on a log scale — each gridline is ten times the one below it, because one lucky hash can sit whole decades above your everyday ones. Your best ever is —, against a network difficulty of —.

Every accepted share, newest on the right, by the difficulty the hash actually reached — not the difficulty you were set. Most land near your target; occasionally one lands far above it. A block is simply a share that clears the network target, so this is the same measurement, plotted small.

A block needs a share at the network difficulty, currently —. Landing a big one is luck, not progress — the next share has exactly the same odds whether your best so far is a thousand or a billion.

Your last — accepted shares, newest at the bottom, like a running log. Reached is the difficulty the hash actually hit; set is the difficulty that worker was given, and vs target is how many times over it landed. Most land near their target — the highlighted ones are the lucky hashes, and a block is just one of these that clears the network difficulty. Updates within a minute of the share arriving.

Hashrate is summed across every connection a worker holds, so a rented rig fanned out over several sockets shows as one worker at its full rate.

This is the coinbase from the work template the pool is building for your address right now. Your payout script is inside it. Nothing is held by the pool, there is no balance and nothing to withdraw — if a block is found, the chain pays you directly out of this transaction.

Bits is the compressed target from the block header your miner is hashing against; the value after it is that target expanded in full. A share wins the block when its hash is below that number. Merkle branches are the hashes sent in mining.notify so your miner can rebuild the block’s merkle root from its own coinbase — it never has to trust ours.
