Kano: FPPS extra payout depends on the pool's settings which also depend on the network transaction fees at the time, so there is no specific range that can be defined

Reward types & explanation:
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work returned to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.
* '''PPLNSG''' - Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). Similar to PPLNS, but shares are grouped into "shifts" which are paid as a whole.
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amoutripnt of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 12.5 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''FPPS''' - Full Pay Per Share. Similar to PPS，but not only divide regular block reward (12.5 BTC for now) but also some of the transaction fees. Calculate a standard transaction fee within a certain period and distribute it to miners according to their hash power contributions in the pool. It will increase the miners' earnings by sharing some of the transaction fees.

== SPV Mining / Old Bitcoin Core ==

The following pools are known or strongly suspected to be mining on top of blocks before fully validating them with Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 or later. Miners doing this have already lost over $50,000 USD during the 4 July 2015 fork and have created a situation where small numbers of confirmations are much less useful than they normally are.

Pooled mining

2017-05-10T18:38:44Z

Kano: FPPS extra payout depends on the pool's settings which also depend on the network transaction fees at the time, so there is no specific range that can be defined

'''Pooled mining''' is a [[Mining|mining]] approach where multiple generating clients contribute to the generation of a block, and then split the block reward according the contributed processing power. Pooled mining effectively reduces the granularity of the block generation reward, spreading it out more smoothly over time.

==Introduction==

With increasing generation difficulty, mining with lower-performance devices can take a very long time before block generation, on average. For example, with a mining speed of 1000 Khps, at a difficulty of 14484 (which was in effect at the end of December, 2010), the average time to generate a block is almost 2 years.

To provide a more smooth incentive to lower-performance miners, several pooled miners, using different approaches, have been created. With a mining pool, a lot of different people contribute to generating a block, and the reward is then split among them according to their processing contribution. This way, instead of waiting for years to generate 50btc{{Citation needed}} in a block, a smaller miner may get a fraction of a Bitcoin on a more regular basis.

A '''share''' is awarded by the mining pool to the clients who present a valid [[proof of work]] of the same type as the proof of work that is used for creating [[block|blocks]], but of lesser difficulty, so that it requires less time on average to generate.

==Pooled mining approaches==

The problem with pooled mining is that steps must be taken to prevent cheating by the clients and the server. Currently there are several different approaches used.

===The slush approach===

[[Bitcoin Pooled Mining]] (BPM), sometimes referred to as "slush's pool", follows a score-based method. Older shares (from beginning of the round) have lower weight than more recent shares, which reduces the motivation to cheat by switching between pools within a round.

===The Pay-per-Share approach===

The Pay-per-Share (PPS) approach, first described by [[BitPenny]], is to offer an instant flat payout for each share that is solved. The payout is offered from the pool's existing balance and can therefore be withdrawn immediately, without waiting for a block to be solved or confirmed. The possibility of cheating the miners by the pool operator and by timing attacks is thus completely eliminated.

This method results in the least possible variance for miners while transferring all risk to the pool operator. The resulting possibility of loss for the server is offset by setting a payout lower than the full expected value.

===The Full Pay-per-Share approach===

The Full Pay-per-Share (FPPS) approach, created by [[BTC.com]] team, aims to benefit miners from the high transaction fee. It will calculate a standard transaction fee within a certain period，add it into the block rewards (12.5 BTC every block for now) and then distribute the whole to miners according to PPS mode.

This method keeps advantages of PPS and pay more to miners by sharing some of the transaction fees.

===Luke-Jr's approach ("[[Eligius]]")===
[[User:Luke-Jr|Luke]] came up with a third approach borrowing strengths from the earlier two.
Like slush's approach, miners submit proofs-of-work to earn shares.
Like puddinpop's approach, the pool pays out immediately via block generation.
When distributing block rewards, it is divided equally among all shares since the last valid block.
Unlike any preexisting pool approach, this means that the shares contributed toward stale blocks are recycled into the next block's shares.
In order to spare participating miners from transaction fees, rewards are only paid out if a miner has earned at least 0.67108864 BTC (400 [[Tonal Bitcoin|TBC]]). If the amount owed is less, it will be added to the earnings of a later block (which may then total over the threshold amount).
If a miner does not submit a share for over a week, the pool sends any balance remaining, regardless of its size.

===P2Pool approach===

[[P2Pool]] mining nodes work on a chain of shares similar to Bitcoin’s blockchain. When a block is found, the reward is divided among the most recent shares in this share-blockchain. Like the puddinpop and Luke-Jr approaches, p2pool pays via generation.

===Comparison===

The cooperative mining approach (slush and Luke-Jr) uses a lot less resources on the pool server, since rather than continuously checking metahashes, all that has to be checked is the validity of submitted shares. The number of shares sent can be adjusted by adjusting the artificial difficulty level.

Further, the cooperative mining approach allows the clients to use existing miners without any modification, while the puddinpop approach requires the custom pool miner, which are as of now not as efficient on GPU mining as the existing GPU miners.
[[File:Smallgeneration.png|thumb|Puddinpop miners receive coins directly.]]

Additionally, the puddinpop and Luke-Jr approaches of distributing the earnings by way of including precise sub-cent amounts in the generation transaction for the participants, results in the presence of sub-cent bitcoin amounts in your wallet, which are liable to disappear (as unnecessary fees) later due to a bug in old (before 0.3.21) bitcoin nodes. (E.g., if you have a transaction with 0.052 in your wallet, and you later send .05 to someone, your .002 will disappear.).

Puddinpop and Luke-Jr miners receive coins directly, which eliminates the delay in receiving earnings that is required on slush-based mining servers. However, using some [[eWallet]] services for generated coin will cause those coins to be lost.

== SPV Mining / Old Bitcoin Core ==

The following pools are known or strongly suspected to be mining on top of blocks before fully validating them with Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 or later. Miners doing this have already lost over $50,000 USD during the 4 July 2015 fork and have created a situation where small numbers of confirmations are much less useful than they normally are.

Kano: Undo revision 62569 by Kano (talk) - didn't do what I expected :P

Reward types & explanation:
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work returned to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.
* '''PPLNSG''' - Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). Similar to PPLNS, but shares are grouped into "shifts" which are paid as a whole.
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amoutripnt of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 12.5 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''FPPS''' - Full Pay Per Share. Similar to PPS，but not only divide regular block reward (12.5 BTC for now) but also the transaction fee. Calculate a standard transaction fee within a certain period and distribute it to miners according to their hash power contributions in the pool. It will increase the miners' earnings by 7%-11%.

== SPV Mining / Old Bitcoin Core ==

The following pools are known or strongly suspected to be mining on top of blocks before fully validating them with Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 or later. Miners doing this have already lost over $50,000 USD during the 4 July 2015 fork and have created a situation where small numbers of confirmations are much less useful than they normally are.

Comparison of mining pools

2017-03-13T23:52:21Z

Kano: Pool no longer exists (and was part of a scam)

Reward types & explanation:
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work returned to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.
* '''PPLNSG''' - Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). Similar to PPLNS, but shares are grouped into "shifts" which are paid as a whole.
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amoutripnt of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 12.5 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''FPPS''' - Full Pay Per Share. Similar to PPS，but not only divide regular block reward (12.5 BTC for now) but also the transaction fee. Calculate a standard transaction fee within a certain period and distribute it to miners according to their hash power contributions in the pool. It will increase the miners' earnings by 7%-11%.

Comparison of mining pools

2017-02-26T23:36:31Z

Kano: ->KanoPool name change

Reward types & explanation:
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work returned to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.
* '''PPLNSG''' - Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). Similar to PPLNS, but shares are grouped into "shifts" which are paid as a whole.
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amoutripnt of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 12.5 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''FPPS''' - Full Pay Per Share. Similar to PPS，but not only divide regular block reward (12.5 BTC for now) but also the transaction fee. Calculate a standard transaction fee within a certain period and distribute it to miners according to their hash power contributions in the pool. It will increase the miners' earnings by 7%-11%.

== SPV Mining / Old Bitcoin Core ==

The following pools are known or strongly suspected to be mining on top of blocks before fully validating them with Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 or later. Miners doing this have already lost over $50,000 USD during the 4 July 2015 fork and have created a situation where small numbers of confirmations are much less useful than they normally are.

* BTC Nuggets
* [https://www.f2pool.com/ F2Pool]<ref name="spv_despite_incident">[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=700411.msg11790734#msg11790734 Intention to continue SPV mining], Wang Chun, 4 July 2015</ref>
* AntPool<ref name="spv_despite_incident" />

The following pools are believed to be currently fully validating blocks with Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 or later (0.10.2 or later recommended due to DoS vulnerabilities):

* [[BitMinter]]
* BTC China (described as SPV mining<ref name="spv_despite_incident" />, but they're performing effective valiation)

It is a theoretical security issue if one pool gains above 50% of the total computational power of the network, thus consider joining a pool based on other metrics. The pool's total hash rate is very dynamic on most pools. Over time, as the network grows, so does most pool's hash rates. The displayed values are the pool's relative sizes based on the network: Small: less than 2%, Medium: 2%-10% Large: greater than 10% of the network.</ref>

Mining manufacturer tech guidelines

2016-05-28T22:06:29Z

Kano: I wrote the original Sep-2013 - 11 months before the wiki page existed - one should reference sources ... ...

This page lists numerous things mining manufacturers should think about on a technical level before releasing a product to ensure it will work best with Bitcoin.

==Terminology==
The term "core" is used here to denote the smallest logical hashing unit in a device. What this actually represents may vary from device to device, but the smaller it can be without hurting performance the better, since software can always abstract them as groups.

==Things to do==
* Provide a simple way for mining software to discover firmware version, features, and an overview of the hardware situation (such as number of cores, possibly arrangement of those cores, etc). Don't rely on the software making assumptions about the device: surely you plan to produce new devices in the future, so ensure everything that could change can be determined from an inquiry. One often overlooked parameter to include, is thermal expectations: what temperature is considered "normal" for this device, and at what level should the mining software default to shutting it down?
* When your connection interface supports exposing a unique identifier, make use of it. For USB devices, this generally includes at least the String descriptors for Manufacturer and Product. Be sure to make the Product string as unique as possible, and unlikely to be confused with other (possibly non-mining) devices. Software should not be expected to look at the Manufacturer string to determine if the device is for mining: you may license your design to another manufacturer in the future, who should be able to use their own Manufacturer string without breaking compatibility with mining software that works with yours.
* Each individual unit should have a unique serial number, ideally accessible from (e.g.) the USB Serial string descriptor. This is important for users who have many to keep track of them for configuration or other purposes.
* Regular status reports about work actually performed give the mining software and user a good way to tell what exactly is going on, and ability to diagnose problems. These reports should preferably include information in as much detail as possible, particularly at a per-core level. Ideal information would include, per core, at least temperature and actual number of hashes performed since the previous report. Results (nonces) should also include information about which core was responsible for finding it.
* Do report work completion independently from results. Results should be reported immediately to minimise stale shares, and there may be many (or none) for each work item.
* If you are using a "stratum-like" interface, where you generate block headers from a compressed template, be sure to properly test it. That means feeding it 1 MB blocks with 250 kB generation transactions ''(FIXME: is 250 kB a reasonable cutoff size? probably should have a "size after the extranonce" too...)'', being updated every few seconds (BFGMiner 4.8+ has a --benchmark-intense mode to simulate this). Note that a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black is *not* powerful enough to satisfy this. Canaan Creative has a FPGA solution for a LM32 CPU with SHA256d acceleration which might be handy if you want to go this route.
* Avoid becoming idle during work updates. Provide a way for new jobs to be sent prior to flushing old ones out, and ensure there are sufficient queues in place to keep the cores busy at all times.
* Allow flushing the queue of pending headers independently from interrupting actual hashing, so work can be updated without a performance hit. This can occur often, even when there isn't a new block on the network.
* Some way to interrupt and clear work is a good idea to allow mining software to avoid confusion when it's being restarted; failure to do this can result in novice users getting confused by false "hardware error" reports resulting from unknown jobs.
* Implement a thermal cutoff at close to the temperature sensors as possible. The controlling computer may be busy or possibly crash right at an inopportune time, or even simply not get temperature reports quick enough, leading to chip meltdown since it isn't turned off in time. This thermal cutoff should only be at a point where impending damage is certain; below that, mining software should implement their own (user-configurable) thermal cutoff limits.
* It is likely that some miners will only cover electrical costs in certain circumstances, such as transaction fees being above a certain threshold or power costs being lower during some part of the day. When the device is idle, such as following an interrupt-and-clear work request, you should ideally avoid using any more power than necessary so mining software can automate this routine.
* Provide a user-friendly way to upgrade firmware. No software (including firmware) is perfect, and even if things work flawlessly, there may be a desire to upgrade it in the future due to unforeseeable circumstances.
* Some miners wish to lease out part of their mining units. If you can do so, it would be beneficial to allow queuing work per core so that these users can lease out specific cores within their miners.
* Disabling and enabling specific cores tends to be helpful for troubleshooting problems. Providing a way to do that is important to minimising user headaches and wasted hardware.
* If you can, equip your ASICs with an alternative proof-of-work algorithm. It can share all the same circuits as the usual SHA256d, but as long as there is some difference you can fall back on, the Bitcoin network has the option to switch to these "fall-back" PoW algorithms in the event of an "unbeatable" 51% attack. It's unlikely that the PoW algorithm will be changed at this point, but it's not completely unthinkable, and having such a fall-back algorithm shouldn't be complicated or expensive. (Obviously don't share this alternate algorithm with others unless such an event occurs)
* Smart Property ASICs. This is the future, and solves the "datacenter centralisation" problem, potentially allowing 100% of all mining to be done in the same datacenter with minimal risk to the Bitcoin network. Your ASICs should be at the very least have a tiny bit of NVRAM to store the public key of their owner, and refuse to process work unless it is signed by that key. The keyholder must also be able to sign ownership of the ASIC over to another public key. Ideally, this would be implemented in such a way that the transfer-of-ownership requires a SPV proof of a valid transaction in the Bitcoin blockchain at a certain depth, so such a sale can be performed atomically (ie, the payment and ASIC ownership are exchanged in the same Bitcoin transaction). Advanced designs may support leasing chips, or selling individual cores within a chip. It may be wise to build a microcontroller into the ASIC itself to manage all of this. In the case of a programmable chip, you should ensure there is no way to "fool" someone into thinking ownership has changed (or will change) when it does not (will not). In the case of a leasable chip, this may require a hardware "firmware attestation" feature, or an architecture capable of generating zk-SNARK proofs.

==Things NOT to do==
* Don't try to talk directly to mining pools. Mining protocols change, and will continue to change. Resources required to implement those mining protocols will grow, and miners are expected (and will be expected more in the future) to run their own bitcoin node for transaction selection locally. Mining will always require a PC controller, and trying to embed this logic just does Bitcoin and your customers a disfavour by limiting them going forward.
* Don't assume you can roll nonces of block headers. While in general, this is fairly safe to do, the nonce header is intended to be representative of the time a block was found, it is not an extra nonce header. Even when the ntime header is safe to change, mining software should be adjusting it to be the approximate time. In some cases, it may be wise to take advantage of ntime rolling in hardware to reduce bandwidth between the PC and controller, but ideally it should be configurable per-job and not required.
* Don't abuse the block version as an extra nonce. This is even more important than not messing with the block ntime: changing the version may cause your blocks to be rejected, delayed, or (most likely today!) trigger alarms to regular everyday bitcoin users!
* Don't require polling the device constantly for results. Get results to the mining software as quickly as possible, to minimise stale shares. An asynchronous model is ideal to ensure results don't get confused with responses to requests, and so multiple requests can be issued without waiting for a response between each.

Talk:Comparison of mining pools

2015-11-25T02:38:30Z

Kano: /* CPPSRB */

== CPPSRB ==
Target reference link is incorrect.
Like all block payout pools, it will not average 100%, it will average below 100% due to orphan blocks. --[[User:Kano|Kano]] ([[User talk:Kano|talk]]) 05:27, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
The graph provided is a statistical anomaly. Most any pool can find a 12 day range where their payout method is better than all other pools.
The link I've changed it to includes valid statistical analysis of actual pools. --[[User:Kano|Kano]] ([[User talk:Kano|talk]]) 02:38, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

== Flag icons ==
Makes it too hard to tell what they are (not everyone has flags memorised). --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 15:40, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

== ? ==

Hashrate entries should be automatically fetched every hour or so.
[[User:SmokeTooMuch|SmokeTooMuch]] 23:56, 8 June 2011 (GMT)
:I agree, but want to add that a 24 hour median value would be a good idea. Not everyone an a specific region is online 24/7. This would even everything out.--[[User:Neptop|Neptop]] 08:46, 9 June 2011 (GMT)\
::Not everyone has the same daily routines either, so make that at least a week. Pool variation also means it needs to be at least a month. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 16:09, 11 October 2011 (GMT)

The note about pool hashrate being largely irrelevant is wrong. The pool hashrate determines variance of your payout. A pool with a large hashrate is more likely to have frequent and predictable payouts. --[[User:ChocoboLee|ChocoboLee]] 07:51, 11 July 2011 (GMT)
* Largely irrelevant != completely irrelevant. In general, once you get past a certain point (eg, about 150 times your own hashrate), it ceases to make any significant difference. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 14:55, 11 July 2011 (GMT)

== Reconstruction ==

Aright then luke, how do you think we should do it? The wiki is in need of some kind of remake, its a mess. I thought that would be the best way to do it, but if you have a better idea let me hear it. {{unsigned|Tittiez|14:28, 30 September 2012}}
* This page seems fine as it is. What problem are you trying to deal with? --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 19:53, 30 September 2012 (GMT)

Comparison of mining pools

Kano: Use a link to data showing a valid statistical analysis of pools and payout methods

Comparison of mining pools

2015-11-24T00:50:23Z

Kano: BTCC is also "Large"

Comparison of mining pools

2015-11-24T00:27:11Z

Kano: Correction, BW Pool is medium

Comparison of mining pools

2015-11-24T00:25:17Z

Kano: Use relative pool sizing, since the numbers change regularly for most pools and all current numbers are out of date. Rather than have it always wrong: sizes based on 1month mining stats taken from https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC as at 24-Nov-2015

Comparison of mining pools

2015-11-24T00:01:17Z

Kano: Last time BAN was paying (which there appears to be many who didn't get paid in the past months) it was only partial available funds after block finding ... which isn't, by definition, PPS

Comparison of mining pools

2015-11-23T23:42:35Z

Kano: Nexious found it's first block, then immediately after all services went offline, and no payouts have happened still - a week later - remove due to no service available

Mining software

2015-11-23T23:36:22Z

Kano:

There are many different types of Bitcoin mining software available. These tables should help you find what will work best for your mining.

Talk:Comparison of mining pools

2015-07-28T05:27:17Z

Kano:

== CPPSRB ==
Target reference link is incorrect.
Like all block payout pools, it will not average 100%, it will average below 100% due to orphan blocks. --[[User:Kano|Kano]] ([[User talk:Kano|talk]]) 05:27, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

== Flag icons ==
Makes it too hard to tell what they are (not everyone has flags memorised). --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 15:40, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

== ? ==

Hashrate entries should be automatically fetched every hour or so.
[[User:SmokeTooMuch|SmokeTooMuch]] 23:56, 8 June 2011 (GMT)
:I agree, but want to add that a 24 hour median value would be a good idea. Not everyone an a specific region is online 24/7. This would even everything out.--[[User:Neptop|Neptop]] 08:46, 9 June 2011 (GMT)\
::Not everyone has the same daily routines either, so make that at least a week. Pool variation also means it needs to be at least a month. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 16:09, 11 October 2011 (GMT)

The note about pool hashrate being largely irrelevant is wrong. The pool hashrate determines variance of your payout. A pool with a large hashrate is more likely to have frequent and predictable payouts. --[[User:ChocoboLee|ChocoboLee]] 07:51, 11 July 2011 (GMT)
* Largely irrelevant != completely irrelevant. In general, once you get past a certain point (eg, about 150 times your own hashrate), it ceases to make any significant difference. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 14:55, 11 July 2011 (GMT)

== Reconstruction ==

Aright then luke, how do you think we should do it? The wiki is in need of some kind of remake, its a mess. I thought that would be the best way to do it, but if you have a better idea let me hear it. {{unsigned|Tittiez|14:28, 30 September 2012}}
* This page seems fine as it is. What problem are you trying to deal with? --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 19:53, 30 September 2012 (GMT)

== Removed pools ==

The following pools have been removed with reason given:
* '''ABCPool.co''' has shut down[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33586.msg419612#msg419612]

* '''BTC Oxygen''' appears to have shut down[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127815.400]
* '''BTCmow''' is no longer Bitcoin-related[http://www.btcmow.com/]
* '''Coinotron''' is no longer a Bitcoin pool, only altcoins[https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=26727]
* '''DeepBit''' appears to have shut down[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3889.6480]
* '''MaxBTC''' has shut down[https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=68734]
* '''MuPool''' is no longer a Bitcoin pool, only altcoin[http://mupool.com/static/]
* '''pool.itzod.ru''' appears to have shut down[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25127.11720]

The following pools have unresponsive websites as of signature date and may need further review:
* http://pool.enso.kz/
* http://blisterpool.com/
* http://www.btcwarp.com/
* https://www.coinminers.co/
* https://polishpool.pl/
[[User:TheRealSteve|TheRealSteve]] ([[User talk:TheRealSteve|talk]]) 15:26, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
:A month+ on and those sites are still unresponsive. Deleted them from the list. [[User:TheRealSteve|TheRealSteve]] ([[User talk:TheRealSteve|talk]]) 11:26, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Mining software

2015-07-28T05:17:08Z

Kano: Reference is severely out of date stating that the best bitcoin mining software is GPU only mining software

There are many different types of Bitcoin mining software available. These tables should help you find what will work best for your mining.

<noinclude>This template is for established mining pools.
 To list your pool here, you '''must have solved at least two bitcoin blocks''', and to be listed as a "major pool" you must be responsible for 2% of blocks found in the last 7 days.</noinclude>{{Navbox_default

Comparison of mining pools

Kano: CKPool 3.5PH

Reward types & explanation:
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work returned to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.
* '''PPLNSG''' - Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). Similar to PPLNS, but shares are grouped into "shifts" which are paid as a whole.
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
[http://eligius.st/~luke-jr/samples/800MH-3/ Visual examples of the various payout methods]

Stratum mining protocol

2014-12-20T07:04:37Z

Kano: json has integer types: http://jansson.readthedocs.org/en/latest/apiref.html#number The jansson function json_typeof() returns the number type as INTEGER or REAL. The implementations of this method expect an integer

The [[stratum]] overlay protocol was extended to support pooled mining as a replacement for obsolete [[Getwork|getwork]] protocol in late 2012.
The mining service specification was initially announced via [[Slush's pool]]'s website<ref>[http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining/ Stratum mining protocol specification at slush's pool's website]</ref>.
Shortly thereafter, alternative "cheat sheet" style documentation was provided by [[BTCGuild]]<ref>[https://www.btcguild.com/new_protocol.php Stratum mining protocol cheat sheet at BTCGuild's website]</ref>.
As the extension lacks a formal [[BIP]] describing an official standard, it has further developed only by discussion and implementation<ref>[https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=108533.0 Stratum discussion thread on BitcoinTalk Forum]</ref>.

==Protocol==

===Overview===
[http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining/#example See also: Original example on slush's pool site]

===Methods (client to server)===

====mining.authorize====
mining.authorize("username", "password")

The result from an authorize request is usually true (successful), or false.
The password may be omitted if the server does not require passwords.

====mining.capabilities (DRAFT)====
NOTE: This is a draft extension proposal. It is not yet in use, and may change at any moment.

mining.capabilities({"notify":[], "set_difficulty":{}, "set_goal":{}, "suggested_target": "hex target"})

The client may send this to inform the server of its capabilities and options.
The singleton parameter is an Object describing capabilities;
by default, it is considered as {"notify":{}, "set_difficulty":[]}, but as soon as this method is used these must be explicitly included if desired.
The "suggested_target" key may supersede the mining.suggest_target method.

Note that most of the keys do not have any meaningful value at this time, and the values thereof should be ignored (ie, only their presence matters).

====mining.extranonce.subscribe====
mining.extranonce.subscribe()

Indicates to the server that the client supports the mining.set_extranonce method.

====mining.get_transactions====
mining.get_transactions("job id")

Server should send back an array with a hexdump of each transaction in the block specified for the given job id.

====mining.submit====
mining.submit("username", "job id", "ExtraNonce2", "nTime", "nOnce")

Miners submit shares using the method "mining.submit".
Client submissions contain:
# ''Worker Name.''
# ''Job ID.''
# ''ExtraNonce2.''
# ''nTime.''
# ''nOnce.''

Server response is result: true for accepted, false for rejected (or you may get an error with more details).

====mining.subscribe====
mining.subscribe("user agent/version", "extranonce1")

The optional second parameter specifies an extranonce1 the client wishes to resume working with (possibly due to a dropped connection).
If provided, a server MAY (at its option) issue the connection the same extranonce1.

The client receives a result:
[[["mining.set_difficulty", "subscription id 1"], ["mining.notify", "subscription id 2"]], "extranonce1", extranonce2_size]
The result contains three items:
* ''Subscriptions.'' - An array of 2-item tuples, each with a subscription type and id.
* ''ExtraNonce1.'' - Hex-encoded, per-connection unique string which will be used for creating generation transactions later.
* ''ExtraNonce2_size.'' - The number of bytes that the miner users for its ExtraNonce2 counter.

====mining.suggest_difficulty====
mining.suggest_difficulty(preferred share difficulty integer)

Used to indicate a preference for share difficulty to the pool.
Servers are not required to honour this request, even if they support the stratum method.

====mining.suggest_target====
mining.suggest_target("full hex share target")

Used to indicate a preference for share target to the pool, usually prior to mining.subscribe.
Servers are not required to honour this request, even if they support the stratum method.

===Methods (server to client)===

====client.get_version====
client.get_version()

The client should send a result String with its name and version.

====client.reconnect====
client.reconnect("hostname", port, waittime)

The client should disconnect, wait ''waittime'' seconds (if provided), then connect to the given host/port (which defaults to the current server).
Note that for security purposes, clients may ignore such requests if the destination is not the same or similar.

====client.show_message====
client.show_message("human-readable message")

The client should display the message to its user in some reasonable way.

====mining.notify====
mining.notify(...)

Fields in order:
# ''Job ID.'' This is included when miners submit a results so work can be matched with proper transactions.
# ''Hash of previous block.'' Used to build the header.
# ''Generation transaction (part 1).'' The miner inserts ExtraNonce1 and ExtraNonce2 after this section of the transaction data.
# ''Generation transaction (part 2).'' The miner appends this after the first part of the transaction data and the two ExtraNonce values.
# ''List of merkle branches.'' The generation transaction is hashed against the merkle branches to build the final merkle root.
# ''Bitcoin block version.'' Used in the block header.
# ''nBits.'' The encoded network difficulty. Used in the block header.
# ''nTime.'' The current time. nTime rolling should be supported, but should not increase faster than actual time.
# ''Clean Jobs.'' If true, miners should abort their current work and immediately use the new job. If false, they can still use the current job, but should move to the new one after exhausting the current nonce range.

====mining.set_difficulty====
mining.set_difficulty(difficulty)

The server can adjust the difficulty required for miner shares with the "mining.set_difficulty" method.
The miner should begin enforcing the new difficulty on the next job received.
Some pools may force a new job out when set_difficulty is sent, using clean_jobs to force the miner to begin using the new difficulty immediately.

====mining.set_extranonce====
mining.set_extranonce("extranonce1", extranonce2_size)

These values, when provided, replace the initial subscription values beginning with the next mining.notify job.

====mining.set_goal (DRAFT)====
NOTE: This is a draft extension proposal. It is not yet in use, and may change at any moment.

mining.set_goal("goal name", {"malgo": "SHA256d", ...})

Informs the client that future jobs will be working on a specific named goal, with various parameters (currently only "malgo" is defined as the mining algorithm).
Miners may assume goals with the same name are equivalent, but should recognise parameter changes in case a goal varies its parameters.

==Criticism==

===Closed development===

The mining extensions have been criticised as having been developed behind closed doors without input from the wider development and mining community, resulting in various obvious problems that could have been addressed had it followed the standard [[BIP]] drafting process<ref>[https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=557991.msg6079772#msg6079772 BitcoinTalk: Criticism of stratum's closed creation]</ref>.

===Displacing GBT===

The mining extensions were announced after the community had spent months developing a mostly superior open standard protocol for mining ([[getblocktemplate]])<ref>[https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=557991.msg6105355#msg6105355 BitcoinTalk: Criticism of stratum displacing GBT]</ref>.
