Mining

Miners are essential to the health of the Joss Network. Without them, blocks wouldn't be generated and transactions wouldn't be processed.

It's also the key algorithm used to determine consensus, and it's important to distribute it among many different miners. If any one miner controls too much of the mining power, decentralization will be compromised.

This page primarily covers the mining landscape, explaining how to join an existing pool, choose the right one, or start your own.

What is a mining pool?

A mining pool aggregates block rewards and distributes them using various reward schemes, such as PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares). Since it is unlikely for small miners to find blocks on your own, pools offer a steady income in exchange for a fee. They may also provide additional services, such as customer support or custom software. Additionally, pools manage the node, eliminating the need for miners to maintain your own.
