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 both testnet and mainnet (At the same time!). But plots that support pooling are tied to one network.
