Why is my farm size not accurately displayed under my Farmer ID?
Firsts of all, the pool doesn't know your exact farm size nor the amount of plots you have. The size is calculated from the amount of points you delivered to the pool. The points are like blocks. You don't know when they'll come, but you can do an estimation. The pool sums up your points from the past few hours and by knowing a k32 plots delivers averagely 10 points within 24 hours for our pool to estimate your farm size. This only an estimate. During a lucky period, your size can be more then you have, but it can also be lower during unlucky period.
When your farm size is really off by a big amount, please check the following:
- While you're plotting your farm size will most likely be behind on your true farm size, as plots need time to submit their first points
- When your node is out of sync, your farm can stall and wait for the node to sync, resulting in fewer points
- Same goes for your internet connection: When your connection is unstable it'll deliver fewer points
- Maybe your farm is delivering invalid proofs (red bars in the graph). All farmers deliver invalid proofs from time to time, but it should not occur too often.
- We could've had a bit of downtime. Please check our Discord if that was the case.
Keep in mind that on average your calculated farm size will be slightly lower than your actual farm size due to invalid partials.
