you can see the solvers address for each block.
go to pools > blocks found > solver address. thats how youd know it was you

Thanks for explaining it. My miner definitely does not reach 17Th/s nor 127Th/s so definitely not my miner!

What miner is it?

a publicly undisclosed one ;)

Two points
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
reply
No worries! I would love to hit a block too! haha. Just for kicks.

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?
reply
pro rata share if using a shared earnings pool

that sucks... would be cool if you got a small lottery bonus.

Little miner?! I have my doubts, but congrats if it's true.
reply
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.

That's an achievement for your miner! Celebrate it with some cake and pastries.
reply
Thanks, am not really into sugar. Best celebration is to share the event with others and learn from it :)
reply
So if it is your miner that hits, do you get the full 3.25btc?
reply
No. Pools share rewards based on your hash rate contribution
reply
Correct, I can confirm I did not get the 3.25 BTC
reply
How much did you end up getting?
reply
as @itsMoro said pro rata share when using a shared earnings pool
reply
How little does that turn into?
reply
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)

I'm kind of jealous! πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

What is this? I can understand
reply
You can or can't?
In case you can't. It's about mining Bitcoin.
That’s really cool.

Congrats 🎊
