Question 1

How is pool profitability measured?

Accepted Answer

We measure real yield by running independent ASIC miners on each pool and recording actual payouts in satoshis per terahash per day (sat/TH/day). This captures all factors: pool fee, luck, transaction fee handling, and payout model. It is the most accurate way to compare pool profitability.

Question 2

Why does real yield differ from theoretical calculations?

Accepted Answer

Theoretical calculators assume perfect conditions — 100% luck, average transaction fees, no downtime. Real yield reflects what miners actually receive, including the impact of pool luck variance, how the pool handles transaction fees (keeps them vs shares them), and operational efficiency.

Question 3

How often is real yield data updated?

Accepted Answer

Real yield data is collected daily from our independent ASIC miners running on each monitored pool. The rankings reflect the most recent measurement, giving you an up-to-date picture of which pools are paying the most right now.
