View source for Mining Reward and Share Calculations

<li>For pools using Proportional scoring, Multipool.us allocates rewards for every block with this <strong>Proportional Reward Formula:</strong></li>
<br/>
[[Image:Multipool_screen_shot_your_reward.png|670px|center|alt={your reward = block value(1− pool fee - optional donation )(your hashrate contribution * pool hashrate contribution)}]]

<ol type="1">
<li><strong>The block value</strong> differs between currencies and overtime.</li>
<ol type="a">

<li>Currently a bitcoin block value is 12.5 BTC + accumulated bitcoin network transaction fees. </li>
<li>Each minable currency has a unique block value, which changes overtime according to their unique algorithms. [[Multipools Supported Cryptocurrency Coin Statistics|Click here for Multipool's supported cryptocurrency coin statistics.]]</li>
<li>Accumulated network transaction fees are not applicable to all currencies and varies block to block per its network variables.
<li><strong>NOTE:</strong> Multipool.us is currently operating <strong>BTC ONLY</strong> as a https://slushpool.com subpool, which uses an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average#Exponential_moving_average exponential.] scoring system
<ol><li type="i">Once the Slushpool reward is received it is distributed to https://Multipool.us miners proportionality.</li></ol>
<li><strong>NOTE:</strong> Currently only BCH and LTC operate using the [[#pplns_reward|PPLNS]] payout method.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>The pool fee</strong> is 1.5% of each block received across all currencies.</li>

<li><strong>Optional donations</strong> are adjusted in the [https://www.multipool.us/dashboard/account#account_pane user account settings.]</li>
<li><strong>The pool hashrate contribution</strong> is the sum of the total users hashrate contributions relative to a specific currency at the time the block is found, ending the current round.</li>
<li><strong>Your hashrate contribution (aka shares or cumulative accepted difficulty)</strong>  is your cumulative accepted hashes from weighted share difficulties.</li><br/>
[[File:Your hash rate contribution multipool.png |670px|center|alt={your hashrate contribution = assigned difficulty * verified hash completed}]]
<br/>
<ol type="a">
<li><strong>Assigned difficulty</strong> - The pool determines the difficulty for each miner by reassessing the number of verified hashes completed submitted every few seconds targeting one cumulative accepted share every 5-10 seconds. </li>
<li><strong>Verified hash completed</strong> - While the miner is seeking to be the first "miner" to find a nonce that delivers a desirable hash is reward the current block, the amount of computing power is determined using a Proof of Work scheme by sending computational puzzles to the miners known as a CPU cost function.</li>
<ol type="i">
<li><strong>Unverified hashes</strong> - Hardware errors, stale shares, duplicate shares are some reasons why a hash share could be rejected or considered bad.</li>
<li><strong>For example</strong> your cumulative accepted difficulty is 1000 if your share difficulty is 100 and submit 10 shares.</li>
</ol>

</ol>
</ol>
<li><strong>Payout methods</strong></li>

<ol type="1">
<li><strong>Proportional ("Share-based")</strong> - For each block found, the reward is split between miners according to the number of cumulative shares they submitted.</li>
<li>
  <div id="pplns_reward"><strong>PPLNS (Pay per last N shares)</strong> - Payouts are connected to blocks found, but calculated by looking at the proportion of miners contributed shares to the pools shares based on the last N difficulty round (which is different than the block to block round).</div>
</li>
<ol>
<li>BCH: PPLNS round is equivalent to 720 network blocks (approx. 5 days)</li>
<li>LTC: PPLNS round is equivalent to 2304 network blocks (approx. 4 days)</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>PPS (Pay per share)</strong> - Every share submitted receives a fixed reward set in advance. Pool Operators often take a larger fee, as the true value of each share its unknown until the block is found.</li>
