Share (Mining)
Mining● Common
A proof of work submitted by a miner to a pool that meets a lower difficulty target than the network requires. Shares demonstrate the miner is working and are used to calculate reward distribution. Occasionally a share also meets the full network difficulty and becomes a valid block.
Technical Notes
Share difficulty set by pool (e.g., 1/1000th of network difficulty). More shares = more proven work. Stale shares: submitted after block found, usually rejected. Vardiff: pool adjusts share difficulty based on miner's hashrate to control submission rate.
