 **##How does the Community Prize Pool pay out?##**
 \\
-Each hour, 1% of the prize pool balance is distributed among all active miners, proportional to their hashrate share. A miner with a larger or more powerful rig claims a bigger slice of the hourly budget. Over a full day this works out to approximately 1% of the total pool balance paid out.

A miner with a larger or more powerful rig claims a bigger slice of the hourly budget. A luck factor is applied each hour, so individual payouts vary slightly from tick to tick — the 1% daily rate is an average over time, not a fixed guarantee.
 **##What happens if the Community Prize Pool runs dry?##**
 \\
-Nothing breaks. Miners continue to receive their base payout from the server revenue pool as normal. The prize pool bonus simply drops to zero until the pool is replenished by fee income or manual seeding. This makes it low-risk to manage — a smaller pool just means smaller bonuses, not a broken system.

 **##What is the relationship of the Community Prize Pool to the Main Server Pool?##**
 \\
-The server pool funds the base payout — it's the core engine. The prize pool is the community bonus on top. Both draw from the same 1%/day rate and both benefit from platform fee income (server pool gets the other 65%), so a healthy, active economy naturally keeps both funded over time.
