Basic concepts:
- Pool keeps all transaction fees to itself.
- The pool charges no fees and shares are managed under the CPPSRB reward system at 100% value at the time of mining. [2]
- When a block is found, all miners who have reached the minimum payout threshold (currently about 0.67 BTC) are paid via the Generation transaction.
- The pool almost never has miner's funds, as they are paid directly to the miners from the block reward.
- If a block is orphaned, its shares become part of the next block's reward distribution.
- No registration. Just send username with the address you want payouts to (password can be anything).
- Will only include transactions in its blocks if the sender pays a fee of at least 0.00004096 BTC per 512 bytes.
Eligius was announced on April 27, 2011[3]. At the time the service was operated without a name, paying out even tiny coins immediately.
