Hashrate
An estimate of how much work a miner, pool, or network is performing each second. Short windows react quickly; longer averages are steadier.

Mining basics
Read the pool like an operator
The short version of the terms shown across HashBay.
Shares
Proof that your miner is doing valid work. Accepted shares count toward pool accounting; stale or rejected shares do not count the same way.
Round effort
Work spent relative to the statistically expected work for a block. Below 100% is an early find; above 100% is a longer round. It is not a countdown.
Block closeness
The strongest submitted share compared with the network target. At 100%, a share met the target and found a block; lower values were valid near-misses.
Pending vs. confirmed
A found block must mature on-chain. Rewards stay pending while immature and move to confirmed only after the required confirmations.
Worker names
Use WALLET.WORKER, such as YOUR_WALLET.rig01. The suffix lets you tell rigs apart without creating pool accounts.
Rewards recent loyal work
Payments are based on valid shares inside the pool's rolling share window when a block is found. Consistent uptime provides steadier window coverage; earnings still vary with pool luck.
Splits a completed round
A block reward is divided in proportion to the valid shares miners contributed during that round, subject to the pool's published rules and fee.
The finder receives the reward
Your miner works through pool infrastructure, but a payout depends on your own work finding a network-valid block. Variance is much higher than shared schemes.
Connection checks
Miner not showing up?
Check these in order. A worker appears only after HashBay receives a valid share in the displayed time window.
- Match the pool and algorithm
Confirm your hardware supports the selected coin's algorithm and that you copied the URL from that exact pool.
- Verify URL, username, and password
Use the full Stratum URL, your receiving address as the username, an optional
.workersuffix, and the generated password value. - Look for accepted shares
“Connected” alone is not enough. Check the miner log for accepted shares and correct clock or network errors before using Wallet Lookup.
- Check service and wallet views
If shares are accepted but missing after the active window updates, check service status, then search the exact wallet address used by the miner.
