Pool Operator Development and Implementation FAQ

How do I get started?

Read the Chia Pool Protocol Specification

How can I tell if the server is getting enough partials from a particular client?

The target for partials on mainnet is 10 partials per k32 per day.

What is the expected ratio in partials between k25 vs k32?

2^(32-25) = 2^7 = 128x as many partials. Make sure you have enough plots to be statistically significant.

How to calculate how many partials with X difficulty a certain plot with Y size can get in Z time?

Look at the win simulation tests

Can I use testnet pooling plots on mainnet?

No. You can use "regular" plots on testnet and mainnet. But plots that support pooling are tied to one network.
