When can I mine?
Once check in window has completed, mining begins.
You will need SOL in order to mine.

Proof of work Mining?
Valid canonical consensus - solvers produce blocks that ensure supply of tokens and liqudity on Solana is sourced and linked to the canonical supply on Ethereum.
Mine from any laptop, phone, or computer. You don't need to buy advanced hardware or have a software degree to get started.

Reward Halving?
Periodic event that reduces the reward amounts by 50%.

What is Difficulty?
The level that is auto adjusted, based on demand. This determines the computational challenge associated with mining.

Boost
Boost your mining rigs performance by increasing it's hash rate. Greater hashrates allow your rig to earn more rewards.

Are the rewards sent automatically?
Once you activate a claim from your mined activity, your rewards are automatically distributed to you.

Why does it say "Joining..."?
It's connecting you to a new slot to mine or it's syncing to your most recently active slot (which can take time).

How long for Boosts to register?
Boost transactions must be mined to register. Once these transactions are finalized they appear almost instantly.

My transaction is still pending, why?
If your transaction is pending for long period of time, it has drifted. It can't be mined because it is out of range, it will be settled by the network on the next reward halving (every 500 blocks or 12,500 transactions).
With PRO your transactions are always prioritized in every block built by the Pond specific nodes.

What is an ATO?
Abstract transaction object.
Block streaming produces new blocks every 25 transactions broadcasted to any chain observed by the engine. To compensate for the different transaction formats (i.e. calldata vs instructions) the transactions are shipped using an abstract format for compatibility.

Notes

Mining is one of the main features of the Pond ecosystem. This uses Argon2 PoW within the browser to produce hashes that yield wPond rewards.

Rewards seem to be on slow-mo right now. They are certainly being sent out, but the delay is quite long.

Spawning is supposed to supercharge the claims and get them sending out quickly again.

I believe that mining within the browser works something like this:
