Understanding Mining Pools:

Mining pools are groups of miners who work together to mine Dogecoin blocks and share the rewards.

• Pool Distribution Chart = Shows what percentage of total blocks each pool mined
• Blocks Mined Chart = Shows the actual number of blocks each pool successfully mined
• Pool Cards Below = Detailed stats for the top 6 most active pools

Why this matters: A healthy network has many different pools mining blocks, not just one or two dominant ones.

Understanding Empty Blocks vs Mempool Correlation:

This wave chart shows the correlation between empty blocks and mempool transaction counts over the last 7 days.

• Orange Wave (Empty Blocks) = Daily count of blocks that only contain the coinbase transaction
• Blue Wave (Mempool TX) = Average daily mempool transaction count when blocks were mined
• Correlation Analysis = When mempool is high but empty blocks are also high, it indicates missed opportunities
• Time Progression = Left (older) to right (newer) showing trends over time

Why this matters: A strong correlation between high mempool activity and empty blocks suggests miners are not efficiently utilizing available transactions, potentially indicating network inefficiency or mining pool issues.

Understanding Slow Blocks Analysis:

This section analyzes the last 24 hours to identify blocks that took more than 1 minute to mine.

• Mining Time = Time between the previous block and current block (should be ~1 minute for Dogecoin)
• Slow Blocks = Blocks that took significantly longer than expected to mine
• Pool Analysis = Which mining pools are responsible for slow blocks
• Block Details = Transaction count, block size, and timestamp for each slow block

Why this matters: Slow blocks can indicate network congestion, mining pool issues, or difficulty spikes that affect transaction confirmation times.

Understanding Fee Analysis:

This section analyzes transaction fees to understand miner prioritization patterns.

• Nominal Fees = Total fee amount paid for transactions
• Fee per KB = Fee divided by transaction size (efficiency metric)
• Fee Prioritization = How miners choose which transactions to include
• Block Efficiency = Whether miners prioritize high nominal fees vs efficient fee per KB

Understanding Blockchain Metrics:

These charts show the health and growth of the Dogecoin blockchain over time.

• Blockchain Size Growth = Real historical blockchain size growth over time (daily snapshots from Dogecoin Core RPC)
• Full Blocks Over Time = How many blocks were filled to near capacity each day
• Empty Blocks Chart = How many blocks contained only the miner reward (no transactions)
• Mempool Activity = How many transactions were waiting to be processed

Why this matters: These metrics help us understand network usage, efficiency, and overall health of the Dogecoin network.

Understanding Pool to Exchange Movements:

This section tracks when mining pools send their Dogecoin rewards to cryptocurrency exchanges.

• Pool Address = The mining pool's Dogecoin address that received the reward
• Exchange Address = The exchange's Dogecoin address (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, etc.)
• Amount = How much DOGE was sent from pool to exchange
• Date = When the transaction occurred

Why this matters: This shows when miners are selling their rewards, which can indicate market sentiment and selling pressure.

Understanding Missed Opportunities:

This section identifies mining pools that mined empty blocks when there were transactions waiting to be included.

• Empty Blocks with Mempool = Blocks that only contained the miner reward when transactions were waiting
• Total Missed TX = Total number of transactions that could have been included but weren't
• Avg Missed TX = Average transactions missed per empty block
• Max Missed TX = Highest number of transactions missed in a single block

Why this matters: When miners create empty blocks while transactions are waiting, it slows down the network and wastes transaction fees.
