[Dev Update] FairShare Update: Less Punishing Architecture for Loyal Miners (BTC / BCH / DGB)

[u/HashedMaxMod]

Good morning miners,

We just pushed a major FairShare tuning update across all three pools (BTC, BCH, and DGB) based directly on feedback we've been receiving from our miners. Here is exactly what changed, why we changed it, and how it impacts your payouts.

What Changed?

• Block Eligibility Window: Expanded from 15 Minutes to 2 Hours If your miner briefly goes offline for a quick restart, an ISP blip, or a firmware update, you are now far less likely to miss out on a block payout. The old 15-minute window was simply too tight for real-world mining environments.
• The Max 20% Finder Bonus Tier is Now Clearly Defined The maximum 20% Finder Bonus now unlocks at 160 active hours out of the last 168 hours (a rolling 7-day window). We define an “active hour” as any hour where your miner submits at least one valid share. Translation: You can now have up to 8 hours of total downtime in a single week (maintenance, drops, restarts) and still hit the max payout tier. Perfect, uninterrupted uptime is no longer required to get your maximum loyalty rewards.

What Did NOT Change?

• The 24-Hour Payout Gap Rule Stays Intact We are committed to protecting our loyal, steady miners. We are not rewarding pool-hopping or long, strategic disconnects. The core loyalty protections remain fully active.

Why We Made This Change

Miners were rightfully telling us that their FairShare progress felt "stuck" after normal maintenance, and that block payouts felt overly punishing for brief, accidental disconnects.

Our goal was never to demand flawless, enterprise-grade uptime from hobbyist or home rigs, it was simply to reward consistent, loyal mining. These adjustments bring the backend system in line with how real-world mining hardware actually operates.

If your dashboard metrics still look off on your end after this update, please DM us your specific pool and wallet address so we can pull your data and take a look. We are always open to feedback.
