What do balance, paid, and the 24-hour reward mean on the ERG monitor?
On the [ERG monitor](/projects/erg), read unpaid balance, total paid, and the rolling 24-hour reward separately. Unpaid is still on the pool ledger. Total paid has already been sent. Do not stack the rolling 24 hours on top of both. They are not wages per worker.
| Field | Meaning | Do not treat it as |
|---|---|---|
| Unpaid balance | ERG the pool still records on this payout address | One copy per worker, or every on-chain box |
| Total paid | What the pool has already paid out | A schedule for the next payout |
| 24-hour reward | A rolling 24 hours, not midnight to midnight | Income split by hashrate share |
| Missing | Stays unknown | 0 ERG |
This row has three separate amounts, all recorded on the same 9-prefix P2PK payout address: balance not yet paid, the total already paid, and a rolling 24-hour reward. The pool account uses integers, with 1 ERG equal to 1,000,000,000 base units. This page converts an integer it can represent into ERG. If the value cannot be converted or the field is empty, the figure stays unknown rather than 0.
Which question each number answers
Balance answers how much the pool ledger still holds for this address. Paid answers how much has been sent so far. The 24-hour reward answers what was recorded over a rolling 24 hours, not a UTC calendar day. The API index describes account info, payments, and rewards on the account call. Unpaid and total paid can be read as what is still on the pool ledger and what has already been sent. The misleading sum stacks the rolling 24 hours on top of both, because rewards inside that window are often already inside unpaid or paid. This page shows the three columns separately, does not declare its own cumulative total, and does not copy the figures by worker count or hashrate.
What to look at around a payout
- After the pool sends ERG, paid rises and unpaid balance falls by that transfer. Two workers still share the one balance. Each worker does not see a full copy.
- The 2Miners ERG help page says a payout in ERG itself has no extra payout fee (it states 0 dollars) and quotes small fees if you instead take BTC or TON. This page can open only an ERG 9-address, so those BTC and TON fee lines do not apply to an account here.
- The quick start does not name a clock time for the next payout. This page does not forecast one either. For the payment list, open the pool’s own account page.
When a reading looks wrong
- Balance is unknown rather than 0. Do not treat the address as settled. Check whether the pool account page shows a balance integer for the same address.
- The 24-hour reward looks low while worker hashrate is still present. Reward and hashrate are different columns. Hashrate is not converted into ERG here. The short share window is not on this page either.
- You expected each rig to have its own paid total. That would be a different ledger. Paid here follows the payout address only.
Illustrative conversion, not actual income
If the unpaid integer is 2,500,000,000, the page shows 2.5 ERG. If the 24-hour integer is 500,000,000, the page shows 0.5 ERG. An empty paid field is unknown. It is not written as 0 and then subtracted. Unpaid 2.5 and total paid are two columns that do not overlap. The 0.5 is a rolling 24 hours and is often already inside unpaid or paid, so stacking it counts the same stretch twice. This page shows the columns separately and does not declare its own cumulative total. The set only shows the unit conversion. It is not your farm.
Open the ERG monitor. Why the address has to be P2PK is in P2PK and the coinbase script. Why hashrate is not split into these amounts is in Autolykos worker hashrate.
Common questions
How many base units are 1 ERG on this page?
One billion. The pool account converts integers at that ratio. If the integer is missing or cannot be represented, the amount stays unknown and is not shown as 0.
Is the 24-hour reward the UTC calendar day?
No. It is a rolling 24 hours. Adding it to a calendar-day bill or to worker hashrate does not produce the next payout.
Will two workers each show a copy of the balance?
No. Balance, paid, and the 24-hour reward stay on the payout address and are deduped to one copy. Open the [ERG monitor](/projects/erg) for that one copy. Do not duplicate it per worker.
