Mining Luck
Mining● Common
The ratio of expected blocks to actual blocks found by a miner or pool over a period. 100% luck means finding exactly the expected number of blocks. Luck varies significantly over short periods but converges to 100% over time. Pools smooth out individual miner luck.
Technical Notes
Luck = (expected_blocks / actual_blocks) × 100%. High variance for small hashrate. Example: 10% of network hashrate expects ~14.4 blocks/day. Finding 16 = 111% luck. Law of large numbers: long-term luck approaches 100%. Pools reduce variance for participants.
