Daily sats from your Bitaxe!
Due to the 3 days without blocks on Ocean, in the last two days there were hardly any payouts (one). For reasons not entirely clear, an Ocean block commits roughly the same regardless if it happens after 5 minutes or after 3 days of the previous one. As a result, the actual committed amount will be lower than what Zappool has estimated -- and paid out in advance. It takes 1-2 days to even out, and pay again. > - Ocean hashrate went down recently, and right now there were no blocks found in over 99 hours! Not to worry about, just mentioning. @OCEAN View quoted note →
Zappool status update: - The 60ksat giveaway was completed all right! It hasn't made a huge splash, but it got user interaction and many re-posts, and at least few users joined because of it. - The hashrate is currently quite steady, at 35TH (on weekly, daily and hourly view as well) - There was an issue affecting one user, sorted out (it was a DB issue following some changes, due to stale account handling) - Ocean hashrate went down recently, and right now there were no blocks found in over 99 hours! Not to worry about, just mentioning. - The lightning node reliability is acceptable, but not perfect. The payment from Ocean fails occasionally, and outgoing payments also fail sometimes (routing error), but succeed after a few automatic retries. Occasionally the invoice can't be obtained from the LN address/wallet provider, but that's an external issue. Hashing forward!

When I feel depressed that millions of home miners haven't discovered Zappool yet, I look at the 1 month chart -- the trend is not bad! Homeminers of the world, unite! (or just do your thing in isolation) image
