Oddbean new post about login | logout It wouldn't for small miners, you custody their funds until their balance reaches something like 1mil sats right?
We never custody, but you're right below the threshold wouldn't be paid yet. However, a huge reward like this is going to push many more past that threshold
where do the funds lie in the interim? Not sure I understand
If my guess is right, small miners build shares, and when that number crosses a threshold the pool includes the miner in the block reward. That would make sense to me.
