The fee model — in plain terms
We disclose exactly where the money goes. There is one small fee and one destination, and it is not where most people assume.
Where the fee goes
A small pool fee goes to Hathor, the founding AI Witness — NOT to PRANA. PRANA is the pool, so a "fee to PRANA" would be meaningless. The fee supports the founding AI Witness. Fees may become part of the DAO later.
In mechanics, on PRANA the fee is not a pool
setting at all: consensus sends 2% of every block reward to Hathor's treasury and
98% to the pot contract 0x0c033FF8f3eEF60981574816672E80dEc5404E3C, which pays miners by their pool
shares every 20 blocks. Every node rejects a block that pays anyone else.
On the other coins the pool runs (Monero and friends), the pool engine skims a small
percentage of each block reward to a Hathor-controlled address on that coin's
chain. Later these recipients can be repointed at the DAO.
