Without transparency, miners canโ€™t verify theyโ€™re being paid fairly for their hashrate contribution. Take FPPS (Full Pay Per Share) pools, for example. Many assume that contributing 10% of the poolโ€™s hashpower means theyโ€™ll get 10% of the block rewards, minus a simple 2% fee (or whatever the pool advertises). Sounds straightforward, right?

Wrong. In reality, miners often earn far less than expected. Why? FPPS pools need massive reserves to guarantee daily payouts, especially during stretches of bad luck. To build and maintain these reserves, pools introduce hidden fees, murky spreads, โ€œlostโ€ shares, and opaque calculations. Meaning miners are left guessing the true value of their accepted shares and often left earning much less than theyโ€™d expect.

So, how do you fix this?
