pool.burst-team.us payout confusion
-
@BurstMiner1 I've confirmed that reward is 60% of Current Block + 40% of historic block, and it's configurable by pool. So a pool could differentiate itself by raising or lowering the Current/Historic ratios.
-
Yes I have been trying that when I have time. If you see above I have stated that because current block payouts rarely go into whole numbers for me it is difficult to get a conclusion when that payout is only displayed as an integer. I admit I should have more information to back up my statements however I have only had the time recently to look more deeply into it. Initially I did note when I first started mining that it seemed I was not getting current blocks payouts due to noting a good deadline on a current block and when that was accounted for I believe I only got the historical share.
What is more concerning is that @haitch and @daWallet seem to be as confused as I and unable to conclusively comment on the nature of these payouts. I see they are quite well regarded members and heavily involved in BURST. I would have thought they would be able to say with confidence.
-
@haitch Thanks haitch. Is it possible to have more accountability for the current block payouts? I ask because you say you are unable to see those ratios. It would be interesting to see whether it is actually working as designed.
-
@BurstMiner1 I assumed the payout ratios were fixed in the code, so had been hunting through the code to find out where the calculation is done, found that the ratio is actually configurable, not hard coded.
-
@BurstMiner1 I can see it once I figured out where to look - in the obvious place I didn't think of - the pool config:
"currentBlockRewardPercent": "60", // Reward for this block "recentBlockHistoryDepth": "40", // reward for historic blocks "maximumPayoutBlockDelay": "360", // maximum number of blocks to defer payout.
-
I was surprised as well about the "big boys" understanding of the payout structure.
If you are mining a small TB, to quickly determine if the pool payout is what you think it is you look for the next block that looks like the pool will hit and then look at the top two or three miners for the block and validate they get their share of the current and historical. Then decimals won't matter as they should be getting 100s of Burst in payouts.
Also, to determine the 60/40 or other split as configured by the pool owner, you need to copy the entire table of current, preferably during a long block when no more DLs are being submitted. Copy the historic table as well. Paste it into a spreadsheet.
The current shares should add up to 60% of 2146-% fee and the historic should add up to 40% of 2146-%fee.
Cheers, hope this helps.

@haitch Thanks haitch. I don't mean to be a PITA, however it may be that for whatever reason I could be missing out on current block shares. Who knows? It could be a bug? And without you having the means to say so it seems more could be done to account for it all. Thanks again.
-
@rds Yeah I get that and that would be a good indication of the pool working correctly however I am not going to rule out whether the issue could be some bug directly with my wallet or something like that.
-
@BurstMiner1 I can query the backend database and get you some recent block payouts so you can see if they add up, but you'd need a list of your percentage values for both current block and historic share for each of the won rounds for it to be of any use.
-
@haitch Ok I will investigate this and get some %'s on hand and I'll let you know which blocks to query. Thanks again.
-
When you get a chance could you please have a look at block 331119? For your convenience my address is
BURST-B8G8-LB8F-3QQG-HHC3Z
I just need the total payout for that block. Cheers.

@BurstMiner1 said in pool.burst-team.us payout confusion:
BURST-B8G8-LB8F-3QQG-HHC3Z
On which pool am I looking ?

@BurstMiner1 mysql>
select blockID, accountID, amount from Rewards where blockID = "331119" and accountID = "18412210141346961862";
+---------+----------------------+-----------+
| blockID | accountID | amount |

@haitch Ok so my calculations are as follows
Block 331119
Current: 0.22
Historical: 1.87Payout before fee 2.09 BURST. 209000000 (This number is probably higher but cannot get that information)
209000000 x .98 for fee adjustment gives 204820000 or 2.04820000 BURST.Am I correct in assuming 193734903 is 1.93734903 BURST? The difference would be 0.11085097 BURST? Around 5% difference?
Let me know if my assumptions are incorrect I may be missing something crucial. Thanks.

Block 331119
Current: 0.22
Historical: 1.87
I'll sit down and go over the %'s but this code has been running for 2 years so doubt it's wrong.

@BurstMiner1 I'm old and cant read that graphic - but whats your point ?
-
@haitch Interesting to know if anyone has ever bothered to look?
-
@haitch It shows the payouts right before the block was completed. The upload scaled the image.
