How It Works

Compare the variance and expected time-to-block between solo mining and pool mining. Calculate the probability distribution of finding blocks solo versus the steady payout stream from pool participation

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Pool participation — The pool participation recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the pool vs solo mining result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the pool participation for the scenario you are assessing. Compare the variance and expected time-to-block between solo mining and pool mining. Calculate the probability distribution of finding blocks solo versus the steady payout stream from pool participation. Use the pool vs solo mining result to inform your calculation.
