Back to collectionMore Pool Wins, Smaller Shares
With the price moving sideways, node operators focused more closely on what they actually received after putting keys into pools. The same question kept returning in the node group: why did received esXAI seem to fall after a key entered a pool? A week and two days could not, by themselves, settle which arrangement paid better; each pool's sharing terms also mattered.

With the price moving sideways, node operators focused more closely on what they actually received after putting keys into pools. One compared solo earnings with pool proceeds and wanted to know why more frequent wins had not produced a larger balance.
The same question kept returning in the node group: why did received esXAI seem to fall after a key entered a pool? One member showed their figures: more than 360 esXAI from a week of solo operation, against just 17 esXAI in two days in a Platinum pool. The discussion pointed to more frequent wins, smaller rewards per win, and different sharing terms across pools. The Night Watchman urged people to understand the formula before moving their keys.
A week and two days could not, by themselves, settle which arrangement paid better; each pool's sharing terms also mattered. The person who raised the question decided to check their pool's rules and wait for comparable records before choosing. For now, the argument shifted from whether pools were cheating people to how their rewards were divided.
