<h3>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h3>

<h4 class="push-up-20">Which coin am I mining here?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    You are mining the coin configured by this pool instance. The miner login should be your wallet address for that coin.
</div>

<h4 class="push-up-20">What is difficulty?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Difficulty measures how hard it is to find a valid hash for the current network target. Higher network hashrate usually means higher difficulty.
</div>

<h4>What is luck?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Mining is probabilistic. Less than 100% round luck means the pool found a block faster than statistically expected, more than 100% means it took longer.
</div>

<h4>What is a share?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    A share is proof that your miner is doing useful work. Shares do not have to be full blocks to count toward your round contribution.
</div>

<h4>What is a block?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Transactions are grouped into blocks. Miners build and solve new blocks which are then appended to the blockchain.
</div>

<h4>How long does it take to find a block?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    It depends on total pool hashrate, network difficulty and luck. Some blocks arrive quickly, others take much longer than average.
</div>

<h4>What is an orphan block?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    An orphan is a block that lost the race to another valid block at the same height and was not accepted into the main chain.
</div>

<h4>Which payout scheme is used?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Proportional share-based payout: when the pool finds a block, the reward is split according to submitted shares.
</div>

<h4>How is my current payout estimate calculated?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    The estimate is based on your share of valid work in the current round relative to all miners in that round.
</div>

<h4>I have been mining for a while and still have not received a payout. Why?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Pool rewards must first mature on-chain and then exceed the configured payout threshold. Check the Blocks and Payments pages before assuming something is wrong.
</div>

<h4>My hashrate looks wrong. Why?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Pool hashrate is estimated from submitted shares over time, so it ramps up gradually and may differ from your miner's local display.
</div>

<h4>What is solo mining?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Solo mining means you are trying to win full blocks for yourself through the pool infrastructure instead of sharing rewards proportionally with the round.
</div>

<h4>I've been banned by the pool. What should I do?</h4>
<div class="card padding-15 push-down-10">
    Stop the miner for a few minutes, then reconnect and check your miner logs. Invalid wallet addresses, malformed logins and duplicate or invalid shares are common causes.
</div>

<div id="telegramBot">
    <h4>How to use the Telegram Bot?</h4>
    <div class="card padding-15">
        <div>Telegram bot will report worker connects, disconnects, bans and payments, and can also provide pool stats directly.</div>
