PRL Mining Network

Block and payout stats come directly from the Pearl blockchain — we scan each pool's known operator address(es) and count transactions ourselves. Pool APIs are only used for hashrate, worker count, and miner count (values that live only in the pool, not on-chain). Nothing is adjusted in our favour.

• Blocks found (24h) — counted from coinbase transactions on each pool's operator address in the last 24 hours.
• Payout history — counted from batch payment transactions on each pool's operator address.
• Size / stability — the pool's hashrate (net share). A larger pool finds blocks far more regularly, so payout variance is lower — weighted most for big miners, least for small.
• Payout distribution — recipient addresses and amounts read directly from transaction outputs (vout) of on-chain payout transactions.
• Hashrate / workers / miners — fetched live from each pool's own API (not on-chain verifiable).
• Chart overlays — the comparison chart can overlay network-wide context (hashrate, difficulty, block reward, total blocks/day) on a second axis, all sampled from our node. Rising difficulty/hashrate means the whole network finds the same blocks faster, so each pool's share — and its payouts — shrinks. The Share % metric shows each pool's blocks as a fraction of all network blocks that day.
• On-chain data is cached and refreshed on a configurable schedule (default: every 10 min).
• Badges are never manually set: ⛏ Most Active = most raw blocks/24h · ⏱ Fastest Payouts = shortest avg payout interval · ✦ Most Consistent = most active days in the last 7 d. The "On-chain history" line on each card shows how many days of data are behind these numbers.
• ★ Most Recommended badges (Small / Medium / Big miner) combine several of these signals into a weighted score per miner size. The full formula, award conditions and a live scoreboard are shown in the "Most Recommended" section below.
