If your Bitcoin miners are mining to the Ocean pool, you do not create a personal account as you would with other mining pools such as Luxor or Nicehash. Instead, your mining statistics are tied to the BTC wallet address that you define as part of the worker name for your miners. To see your mining performance statistics, go to https://ocean.xyz/stats and in the “Search by username” field, enter your BTC address and press Enter.
The dashboard on Ocean contains plenty of data related to your miners. Let’s take a closer look at this data.
- Shares in Reward Window: This data indicates the number of shares, the work you have sent to the pool in the window of the last 8 blocks mined by the pool.
- Estimated Rewards in Window: This is an estimate of the number of sats you will earn with the work already done. This does not take into account transaction fees, but only the new bitcoins issued by the network.
- Estimated Earnings Next Block: This is an estimate of the number of sats earned if a block is mined now. Remember, if this value is less than 1,048,576 sats, you will not directly receive the sats to your address. They will be sent to Ocean's address until your earnings exceed this threshold.
Below these three data points, you will find a graph of your hashrate.
By default, this will display your hashrate history over the past month. You can change this selection to the past week, the past six months, or all-time, which will show you your mining stats since you started mining with Ocean. There is also a button labeled “Window”, which will show your hashrate data over the period of the last 8 blocks that were mined by the pool. You can also point to a specific point on the graph, hold down your left mouse button and drag the cursor to the left or right to create a custom range of data for the hashrate graph.
Below the hashrate graph, you will find a table showing your average hashrate and number of accepted shares over the past 60 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 3 hours, and 24 hours. To the right of that, you will find a table that displays your history of earnings accrued for the blocks mined with which you had contributed shares. You can download this table as a CSV file if you wish.
Further down the page, you will find a table that looks at the performance of each individual miner that is related to your Bitcoin address. Clicking a worker name will allow you to drill down and see the mining data specific to that miner.
Next, you will see a table that shows the history of payouts made by Ocean to your Bitcoin wallet. It is important to note that Ocean will only initiate a payout after you have accumulated earnings exceeding 0.01048576 BTC.
The “Additional Info” section at the bottom of this page contains some key data points regarding your earnings and payouts.
- Share Log % indicates the percentage of shares that you have contributed toward the latest 8 blocks worth of work.
- Estimated Earnings Per Day is a calculation of how much Bitcoin you should expect to earn in mining rewards per day, based on the shares contributed.
- Lifetime Earnings represents the amount of mining rewards you have earned since you began mining with Ocean.
- Unpaid Earnings represents the amount of Bitcoin that you have earned that has not yet been paid out to your wallet. Until you receive your first payout, Unpaid Earnings will be equal to Lifetime Earnings; after you have started to receive payouts, Unpaid Earnings will represent the total amount earned since your last payout.
- Estimated Payout Next Block indicates how much you can expect to receive as a payout the next time Ocean mines a block. If you have not yet reached the payout threshold, this will show as “Below Threshold”.
- Estimated Time Until Minimum Payout is a calculation that estimates how long it is expected to take before you reach the payout threshold and can expect to receive your next payout. This estimate is based on your Unpaid Earnings in conjunction with the Estimated Earnings Per Day.
