I am a newbie, running a test pool on Monero mainnet. At 15k hash rate, it yielded a block in approximately 48 hours. Now the pool is running at an average 50k hash rate and has generated no blocks in span of 10 days. I am unable to spot any problem in daemon logs or any APIs. I am using nodejs-pool. Current block maturity is 5.
- Is there a way to track blocks generated by a pool?
The pool implementation you are using includes an API endpoint which reports blocks mined. It's registered at /api/pool/blocks by default. E.g. https://supportxmr.com/api/pool/blocks
- What are the possible explanations of such behavior?
At 15 kh/s, finding a block in 48 hours at current network hashrate is just good luck. With 50 kh/s on current network hashrate (~300 mh/s) you're expecting to mine a block in 8 days. Ref: 300000000/50000*120/(24*60*60). Note this is no guarantee, luck plays a part still, so 10 days should not be unexpected.
