Are Lucky Leaves worth anything?
No. Lucky Leaves are fictional loot. They have no cash value. There is nothing to spend them on yet, no shop, and no payout. XP is the same kind of counter. Neither one can be redeemed.
Is a share on this site a confirmed share?
No. Share data comes from the AxeOS log on the miner. That log includes the pool's answer as the miner recorded it. It is not an independent look at the pool, and it is not a confirmation on the chain.
Who computed the difficulty?
The miner did. Share difficulty is miner-computed. The pool does not sign that number. A big difficulty is the miner's own report of the work, copied into the game.
Does a high share mean a block is close?
No. A high share is lucky work, not progress toward a block. Each hash is its own try. A new record updates the game. It does not move Finn closer to a block, and it does not move the miner closer either.
Could this miner find a block?
A single small miner finding a block is very unlikely. Solo mining on Public Pool means the miner is looking on its own. Most days the honest result is a pile of ordinary shares and no block. If a block ever did show up, the golden chest is only the game's picture of it. The chain would still have to confirm it.
Is this gambling?
No. There is no gambling, no betting, no prizes, and nothing to purchase. You cannot wager leaves, buy a boost, or win money from the trail. This is a window on the adventure and the miner walking it.
What does the quest panel know?
Region, Finn's HP, whether he is in camp, the current enemy, whether Attack Down is on, Lucky Leaves, today's accepted and rejected counts, the best share seen today, and the all-time best. Hashrate shows when the miner has reported one. Temperature shows only when a report includes it. The panel does not know the miner's address, the Wi-Fi name, or any pool login.
Why is the panel quiet?
Finn is between adventures. The report appears when the trail is moving. If a number looks old, the line under the panel says when it last changed.
