LMW Pool BCH — Payout Policy

1. Reward distribution

For each confirmed BCH pool block, the reward is split into four parts.

Component	Percentage	Recipient	Rule
Pool fee	0.5%	Pool fee address	Always assigned
Winner	89.5%	Block winner	Uses `blocks.miner` only
Round bonus	5%	Other miners	Pro-rata by round shares difficulty
Loyalty bonus	5%	Other miners	Pro-rata by last 30 days shares difficulty

The winner is excluded from both the Round Bonus and the Loyalty Bonus distributions.

2. Round logic

The Round Bonus is distributed across all miners except the winner, using the sum of shares.difficulty recorded in the round window.

(previous confirmed pool block created, current confirmed pool block created]

If no previous confirmed pool block exists yet, the script uses a fallback window of the last 24 hours to avoid an undefined first round.

The round window is not a 30-day window. The 30-day rolling logic applies only to loyalty.

3. Loyalty logic

The Loyalty Bonus is distributed across all miners except the winner, using the sum of shares.difficulty recorded over the last 30 days.

[now - 30 days, now]

This is a true rolling 30-day window and does not depend on whether the pool has already found previous blocks.

The database must retain at least 30 days of shares for the loyalty bonus to work correctly.

4. Safety rules

Payouts are processed only for blocks with status confirmed.
If blocks.miner is missing or invalid, payout is skipped.
Duplicate payments are avoided through local state tracking and DB marker checks.
The script runs in DRY-RUN mode by default.

5. Audit JSON

Every payout run generates a JSON audit file containing block metadata, payout percentages, round and loyalty windows, computed outputs and execution mode.

Once the server directory is exposed through the website, this page can link directly to the real payout JSON files.

6. How to read the audit JSON

reward: total block reward used for the payout calculation
pct: percentage distribution rule used by the script
windows: actual time windows used for round and loyalty
round_participants: miners included in round distribution
loyalty_participants: miners included in 30-day distribution
computed_outputs: final amount assigned to each address
dry_run: indicates whether the payout was simulated or executed
txid: present only after real execution

Residual amount

BCH payouts are rounded to 8 decimal places. Because each recipient amount is rounded individually, a very small difference may appear between the theoretical total reward and the sum of rounded outputs.

expected_total - rounded_outputs_total = residual

This residual is assigned to the pool fee address so that the final payout total exactly matches the block reward.
