WIKIASIC
Computes SHA-256 and tests candidates.
RMINER / FIELD GUIDE
Bitcoin mining. Clear and practical.
A guide for site owners, engineers, and finance teams: what happens between an ASIC and settlement, which numbers matter, and how to run a pilot.
THE BASICS
From electricity to an accepted share.
An ASIC performs a huge stream of computations. The pool issues jobs, accepts results, and measures the equipment's useful work.
Stratum
Carries jobs and responses between the device and pool.
Share
Proves a completed amount of computation.
Accounting
Links accepted work to a settlement period.
The key idea
Hashrate estimates work speed, while accepted shares confirm that the pool saw the work. That is why both metrics must be compared.
READ THE DATA
Six metrics instead of one.
A large hashrate number alone does not prove stability. Portal metrics should be read together.
Estimated hashrate
An estimate of computational speed from accepted work. Short intervals fluctuate, so use a multi-hour average for comparisons.
Accepted work
Shares acknowledged by the pool. They are the basis for operationally estimating a worker's contribution.
Rejected work
An error, duplicate, or late response. The rate and its trend matter more than a single event.
Response latency
Time from share submission to acknowledgement. Rising p95 can expose a network issue before hashrate falls.
Worker freshness
Online means the device submitted recent work. It does not replace checking hashrate and accepted shares.
Earnings
Estimate is preliminary. Confirmed belongs to a closed settlement period. Balance reflects ledger entries and payouts.
CONNECT AN ASIC
Three fields and a controlled start.
Labels vary between firmware versions, but the meaning stays the same.

Fill in the primary pool
Do not change frequency, firmware, and network at the same time or the pilot result will be ambiguous.
- 03
Wait for data
Check online status, accepted shares, and the absence of persistent rejects.
VALIDATE
A good pilot answers with data.
Compare equal intervals on healthy equipment and define success criteria in advance.
Record the baseline
ASIC hashrate, temperature, frequency, network, and the prior day's statistics.
Give the test time
Hours can validate networking; financial validation requires a complete settlement cycle.
Review deviations
Reject rate, disconnects, p95 latency, and the gap between local and estimated hashrate.
Close the settlement
Reconcile confirmed earnings, fee, balance, and payout record.
