The key & formulas

W — total work since the last block (T). Resets to 0 when the pool finds a block.
D — minimum needed diff = network difficulty (T).
H — pool hashrate (PH/s): live gauge, plus 1D/6D/9D averages.
Round depth = W ÷ D = 268.59 ÷ 132.76 = 2.02×
Round rarity = e^−W/D = 13.2% (~1 in 8)
Share price = 212,500 ÷ W_(T) = 791 sats/G (subsidy only)
Work / block = D · 2³² ÷ 86,400 ÷ 10¹⁵ = 6,599 PHd
Expected wait = (Work / block) ÷ H = 101d 17h @ 64.89 PH/s

Trend pills compare each figure with the poll sample nearest ~24h ago. Direction only — a deeper pot doesn’t make the next block any likelier. When the pool finds a block mid-window the pot resets, so W-based numbers show ↻ new pot instead of a delta.

Where this pot sits 📏

Round depth = W / D = 2.02×. Rarity = e^−W/D = 13% — the share of average rounds that run at least this deep. The marker is this pot right now.

50%23%10%5% 2.02×▼

← shallower (found quick) · deeper (overdue) → markers show the depth at which only 50 / 23 / 10 / 5% of rounds run this long.

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 — 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 — it changes cost certainty. Set duration ≥ 48h above to see the lock-in flag.

P(≥1 hit in W PHd) = 1 − e^−W/rate. Long-run probabilities, not promises. Not financial advice.

Is renting worth it right now? 💸

Raw hashvalue: one PHd of pool work is worth 47,353 sats — a block's reward (3.125 BTC subsidy, no tx fees) spread across the 6,599 PHd it takes to find a block at today's difficulty (D=132.8T). Hold that up against what the Refinery actually charges.

Verdict 🟡

100%

near parity — roughly fair value · live is 100% of break-even

This is the raw hashvalue — it ignores variance and pot-sharing, so it isn't your expected payout, just whether a PHd is priced above or below what it earns on average. Subsidy only; folding in mempool fees would nudge break-even up a little. Not financial advice.

Odds of a block within… ⏱

At the current expected wait of 101d 17h per block (D=132.8T, H=65 PH/s), here's P(≥1 block) over each window = 1 − e^{−t/expected}.

Memoryless: these are probabilities, not predictions. A deep pot does not make the next block likelier — the odds above depend only on hashrate and difficulty, never on how long it's been. Scorekeeping, not forecasting.

Cado & block pace at a hashrate ⚡

Drop in a hashrate to see the long-run pace it produces — 10T cados per day, blocks per day, and your slice of the pool this round. Prefilled with the live pool hashrate (65 PH/s).

Hashrate (PH/s)

🥑 10T cados / day

–

H ÷ 500 PHd per cado

🎰 Blocks / day

–

H ÷ 6300 PHd per block

🏁 Your finder odds this round

–

H ÷ pool 65 PH/s

One PH/s sustained for one day is one PHd of work, so a day's pace is just PH/s ÷ the PHd-per-hit rate. Finder odds = your share of pool hashrate if a block landed while you're running. Long-run averages, not a schedule.

The luck audit 🔬

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 — 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 — 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).
