Payouts

Every minute the pad reads who holds the coin. A round pays when the pool has 0.003 SOL of new money to divide, or when 5 minutes have passed since the coin last paid. Otherwise the minute is skipped and the money waits.

Your weight is the smaller of what you held at that reading and what you held at the coin’s previous round. So buying just before a payout earns nothing: you have to hold from one round to the next.

The pool’s balance, less the rent the account must keep and a reserve for the transaction fees, is split on those weights, pro rata.

If your share comes to less than 0.0005 SOL it stays in the pool with your name on it and is added to your next share, until the total is worth sending. A wallet holding no SOL at all is paid once its share covers the account rent, because a smaller transfer to it would fail.

Every round that pays records the reading it counted, the pool’s balance, what was divided, every wallet’s weight and every transaction signature. All of it is on this page.

In the ledger, paid sent SOL. Rolled checked and sent nothing, so the money waits in the pool. Planned is in flight and has paid nothing yet. Needs operator is stopped until a person has looked. What a round holds back for a wallet under the floor is carried, and on a wallet’s own page the same SOL is what it is owed.

Dee’s share is 0.000249937 SOL, under the 0.0005 SOL floor, so it is carried rather than sent. The round pays 999,750,062 lamports in two transfers, one batch, one signature, 5,000 lamports of fee.

The pool afterwards holds 1,155,818 lamports and every one of them is accounted for: the 890,880 rent floor, the 15,000 of fee reserve that was not spent, Dee’s 249,937 carry, and 1 lamport of remainder from the division.

Dee’s carry then grows. At the same share, the next round carries 499,874, which is 126 lamports short of the floor, and the round after that pays 749,811 and clears it.
