<h4>Official Skyminers - Pool Method</h4>

Rewards are being paid on a node by node basis. The total amount of rewards is limited by a pool size that is subject to change:
* You can receive a maximum of 13.714 Skycoin per node
- official Skyminers consist of seven nodes (visors) and one node serving as manager (hypervisor)
* Rewards are being calculated on a node by node basis
- you'll receive up to 7 Skycoin per-node rewards
* The total pool size is being divided evenly between all nodes eligible for receiving rewards. This implies that you will receive less than 13.714 Skycoin per-node rewards in case the pool size would be surpassed.
