The four numbers that describe the current round โ€” depth, rarity, share price, and expected wait โ€” from live pool data, plus a what-if calculator. Scorekeeping, never a forecast.

Round depth

This pot: 1.46ร— an average round (68% luck).
Round rarity

~23% of rounds get this deep โ€” about 1 in 4. Normal.
Share price

Pays ~1,150 sats per G of banked work right now (subsidy only).
Expected wait

The key & formulas
  • W โ€” total work since the last block (T). Resets to 0 when the pool finds a block.
  • D โ€” minimum needed diff = network difficulty (T).
  • H โ€” pool hashrate (PH/s): live gauge, plus 1D/6D/9D averages.
  • Round depth = W รท D  =  184.79 รท 126.23 = 1.46ร—

Where this pot sits ๐Ÿ“

Round depth = W / D = 1.46ร—. Rarity = eโˆ’W/D = 23% โ€” the share of average rounds that run at least this deep. The marker is this pot right now.

These numbers are SCOREKEEPING, not forecasting. Mining is memoryless: the pot being deep does not make the next block more likely. Anyone saying "we're due" is describing the past, not the future.

Steady vs moonshot

Your odds depend only on total PHd โ€” not on how you buy it. A slow-and-steady order and a short moonshot of the same PHd have identical expected odds. The difference is variance: the moonshot swings harder (bigger chance of nothing, bigger chance of a monster), steady grinds toward the average. "It's all about total hashes."

The KMH 48-hour rule

On Kiss My Hash, orders of 48h or more lock in your price and delivered hash; under 48h you take whatever the market gives ("pray"). Parasite's Refinery is pay-as-you-go either way. Duration doesn't change your odds for a given PHd โ€” it changes cost certainty. Set duration โ‰ฅ 48h above to see the lock-in flag.

P(โ‰ฅ1 hit in W PHd) = 1 โˆ’ eโˆ’W/rate. Long-run probabilities, not promises. Not financial advice.

The luck audit ๐Ÿ”ฌ

The claim to beat: one 10T+ share is expected per ~500 PHd of pool work, everywhere, at every hour. If any hour-of-day / day-of-week bucket sustainedly beats that, there's a method โ€” and it'll glow below. Expectation is a flat, boring ~100%.

Sample is getting meaningful. A truly flat map is the honest, expected result; a persistent bright cell would be the interesting one.

Method & caveats: best-diff-since-block is cumulative within a pot cycle, so this is a proxy, not a per-share hit count. It surfaces a sustained hour/day bias if one exists, not its absence. Judge the trend, not a single cell. Not financial advice.

W = "Total Work Since Last Block" and D = "Minimum Needed Diff" (network difficulty), both in T โ€” exactly as labelled on parasite.space. Because W and D share a unit, depth is just their ratio. W resets to 0 the moment the pool finds a block. Share price excludes transaction fees (subsidy only).
