How to tell CSD unpaid, confirming, and lifetime paid apart

Watch an amount move from confirming to unpaid, then watch lifetime paid increase. The 0.001 CSD minimum and the about-30-minute schedule come from the pool notes, not a promise.

What the three amounts are

Confirming, unpaid, and lifetime paid are three stages. The page shows them separately and does not declare its own cumulative total. Adding them into “what I earned today” stacks older payouts on amounts that are still confirming or waiting. Confirming is an amount the pool has found but cannot pay yet. Unpaid is the confirmed balance waiting for the next payout. Lifetime paid is everything the pool has sent to this addr20, including old payouts. A new amount shows up as a move between stages: confirming shrinks into unpaid, or unpaid shrinks while lifetime paid grows.

The coins belong to the whole address. When two machines share one addr20, these three numbers do not isolate what the left machine mined today. Shares and H/s on a Worker row do not convert into CSD owned by that name.

The G-pools mining notes say balances over 0.001 CSD pay about every 30 minutes, the pool fee is 2.5%, and the payout goes to the addr20 automatically. The same page shows estimates such as Next Payable In. That estimate lives on the pool page. It is not proof the coins are already in your wallet.

Changes worth checking

  • Confirming is above zero and unpaid is still small: shares reached the pool and confirmation is unfinished. Wait. Confirming is not withdrawable.
  • Unpaid is over 0.001 CSD and lifetime paid has not moved: the minimum in the notes is met, and you still wait for the pool’s own payout round. Thirty minutes is the approximate figure in those notes.
  • Unpaid falls and lifetime paid rises: that is what a recorded payout looks like. Match it in your own wallet. This page does not show a transaction hash.
  • All three are blank: that is unknown, not zero. Confirm the address opens. See which address to paste.
  • The pool page spreads paid plus owed into “CSD / hour” for a window: that column includes an estimate. Do not copy it into “what I earned yesterday.”

Illustrative ledger (not actual income)

Illustrative ledger, not actual income: confirming 0.0002 CSD, unpaid 0.0006 CSD, and lifetime paid 3 CSD. The page still keeps three columns and does not turn them into today’s income. 0.0006 is still under the 0.001 in the notes, so unpaid can sit through the next payout round of about 30 minutes. Later, and only as a hypothetical, assume further credited rewards raise unpaid to 0.0012, above the 0.001 minimum in the notes. A payout of 0.0012 would then leave unpaid at 0 and lifetime paid at 3.0012, subject to the actual pool record. That hypothetical is not a payment guarantee. The 2.5% fee is already inside the pool’s crediting rules. Do not multiply these three columns by 2.5% to invent a net.

This page does not turn the pool’s window estimate into daily earnings or a dollar price. After you sign in, Free keeps five saved devices per project and Pro keeps 50. Workers shown under one address do not add a slot. Saving a Worker as its own device does.

Next: read the three columns together on CSD monitoring. For the rate window, see what H/s means.

Common questions

Unpaid is over 0.001. Why is the wallet still unchanged?

The 0.001 CSD minimum and the about-30-minute line come from the G-pools mining notes. They describe the pool’s round, not a guaranteed arrival. Wait until lifetime paid increases, then match it in your wallet. This page has no transaction hash.

Can I withdraw the confirming amount?

No. The pool page calls it found but not yet confirmed. After confirmation it can become unpaid, and then it still waits for a payout round.

Why is there no daily earnings figure?

The pool’s windowed CSD includes unpaid and is an estimate. This page keeps confirming, unpaid, and lifetime paid. It does not turn the estimate into yesterday’s income or a dollar price.
