Pool Rewards
-
What does the reward column mean on the pools spreadsheet? Seems to be either 50/50, 60/40 or 100%?
I ask because yesterday I switched to a pool with a lower fee and received much less than my previous pool and I am wondering if it is because of the reward?
In both cases I am well above the suggested plot size. (well on says "any")

Thanks!!
I understand for the most part, but would the bigger pools not have the quickest time every time and then get to share the block?
-
@superskid Nope - they might get more blocks than smaller pools, but every pool and miner has a chance, bigger pools/miners just have more chances. At least one block has been won by a miner with a tiny plot.

@superskid
Buying more lottery tickets gives you a bigger chance of winning the lottery, but you still got a chance to win it with only 1 ticket.

Bigger pools are not better:
- If a smaller pool hits a block the payout for the users is much higher.
- Big pools are under heavy load and therefor less responsive
It all even out in the long run. Important is the pool fee, fitting target deadline and personal taste. ;)

@daWallet Indeed, personal taste. And of course, the pool that doesn't break down every now and then would be a good choice.
