the chart doesn't show that your own miner found a block. It just shows that the pool found a block which you contributed hashrate to (ie. your miner had also been trying to solve it) and thus you will get reward distributions.
If you did indeed solve the block, by sharing the blocks here everyone will know that your stackernews nym owns the destination bitcoin address, so you have reduced your privacy.
As @itsMoro shared below, you can check the solver in the "blocks found" list on the "Pool" stats page. Check if that matches your address. Then don't tell us, or lie.
make sense, thanks for the explanation. I was probably too exited to see those two blocks on my miner dashboard without really understanding how it works.
So as someone who is not familiar with exactly how pools operate: Do you get a "little something extra" when its your miner that finds the block? Or do you still just get your pro-rata share of hashrate?
i checked, last two blocks are from miner with 1 petahash and one with over 70 petahash, so its not them. just kinda confusing how rewards are displayed, understandable.
is not really relevant. Think about it, there's 487 miners on OCEAN atm, with a total of 1.33 Eh/s and each one get a percentage of the rewards based on the contributed hash rate. Block 844990 was found by a miner with 127.38Th/s, that covers nearly 0.01% of the total hashrate, so that miner will probably get 0.01% of that 3,25 BTC.
Congrats! Hope you celebrate! @lunaticoin published an episode a few weeks ago about someone who managed to hit one block himself. Leave you the link (Spanish)
