any way to have the system email when worker is down?
I know there is a google app for that. In googleplay, try CKPool something. It works. Not sure about OS..don't think so. Just an idea for ya. edit: oh..it's free! the only option i see in that app is for avg hash. suppose i can set it to just enough if one worker drops out, but variance might cause a false report. i also dont like running programs on my phone that might drain the battery down.. an option in the site that emails you if a worker doesnt send a share in x amount of time would be helpful. you can already see when the last share was, so it might not be too hard? kano?? FYI; that isn't kanos app, but the guy is a miner here (I think). You might try sending him an email. Check the app or g-play store to see if you can. Maybe he can help. Once you set it tho, I don't believe you have to keep it (app) running for it to send out the e-mail warning. Guess you guys are talking about this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jjkuo.dev.ckpoolstatusI'm not the dev but have been using it for some time. It can notify you on hash rate drop. It can also be configured toconfigured check as often or as infrequently as you like (highest frequency possible is 5 min). Will also notify when a block is found. will email you a notification when we find a block, it can also email when your avg hashrate drops below a set threshold, and it will not cause any drain on your phone battery because it is not running on your phone. I will look into seeing if I can do individual worker notifications. Yeah I've been using your service too. Any chance you can add the diff% to your emails? |

Our first 'almost' block - but it wasn't good enough.
ckpool submits the share as a block if it is within a small amount of being a block just to be sure.
So it shows up on the web site, but alas not good enough.
share block was: 52123573961.901596
but current diff is: 52278304845.59168243
It will show up as an orphan, but I guess I need to label it as something else later since it's not an orphan.
You could call it a vagabond or vagrant Amateur or JV block is what I'd vote. Or water boy. |

Any plans to entice more miners to join the pool? We need more miners.
Its odd that we must have at least 50 people who registered for the 0% account.
WHERE HAVE YOU ALL GONE?
You have now started Dash mining also. Although you have no miners as yet.
Good luck.
It is a nice setup. Easy to read on the phone. Too bad everyone is disappearing  I agree. The website is put together well. |

I'll hang with for a while and see if Nexious grows. Waiting 196 days on average for a block isn't sustainable for me though. Hopefully we get some more miners.
Edit: to be fair, Nexious seems to be growing pretty well.

Oh boy, over 200% already.......One would like to think that after a 666 block, the next dozen would be under or around 100%
the 10 before the 2x 666 block were really good. I started mining Sha for the first time ever on that block. When i started it was at 70% xD Can't say i been doing good so far with my 1th. Fun ain't it? If you haven't seen these already, check out this thread and associated website: http://www.poolpayouts.com/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1059040.0 |

My control board took a dump on me a few days ago. The unit powers up and the Aux LED on the board lights up, but I don't get any activity out of the other 4 LED's on the board. The hashing boards should be fine. There was no power failure or surge, if for some reason they don't work I will take them back. Escrow is a must!
One of them had a PCI-E cable melt and the 6 pin plug was professionally replaced a few months back and has since been working fine. I have had this unit running @ 1.5TH it's entire life. I can't take any pictures right now, but will try to take it apart tonight and get some photos up.
Sp20 or sp20e? |

Well obviously Kano fixed the pool code, right?  Hopefully some/most/all of the hash that came to bust that block stays on this pool. Aannd... It's gone. Any idea why these big fish leave? If they would stay it would be a 5ph or larger pool. We are still over 100% long term and top notch code and service. Just don't see where they can do better, I think anything over 100% luck is best you can do compared to the pools you have to choose from. Unless they usually solo mine, just don't get it. Any insight anyone? I imagine that Kano or ck called in a favor to some big fish or it was just some good Samaritans that felt the need to help the pool bust a block. Whatever the reason, thank you! More than likely rented hash... |

I dont quite understand everything yet but do you get more than 0.12btc for mining for 7 days .i stuck it out on this pool just trying to understand the payments i had like 1,623.567 shares and i just now received a 0.12 btc reward i had 12 s5 miners running for this block thanks i know this is off topic.
You picked a bad 7 days to start mining at this pool. Had you been here the previous 7 days, the same 12 S5 miners wouldve made you close to 2 BTC. We have had comparatively bad luck for the last 7 days, but as you can see on this page http://kano.is/index.php?k=pblocks we have had an all time luck of over 100%. Diving a little deeper... If you're making 100%, then you should put your total hash rate (12 S5s should be around 13200 GH/s) into the calculator at https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty and it will tell you how much you can expect to receive at 100%/100% difficulty. Note that higher luck corresponds to lower difficulty (and here I'm referring to difficulty of solving the block, not network difficulty). Good luck in the past is not an indicator of good luck in the future. In my opinion though, this pool has a few advantages that make it worth mining on. The operators actively monitor and improve the pool where possible. The operators are respected members of the community. The fees are low. The payout system is fair. |

A little different way of looking at this for all the chicken littles out there.
We're currently at 636% or 6.36x expected amount of work to solve this block. But let's look backwards at recent history.
- the last block was 26%, or approximately .25x or 1/4 of expected work to solve that block
- 2 of the last 7 blocks were around 14% or approximately 1/7 of expected work to solve those blocks
- the last 10 blocks were average 46% or approximately 1/2 of expected work to solve the blocks on average... In other words over the last 10 blocks we've averaged double the amount of btc mined for the amount of work done.
I've linked organofconti's post about luck several times here, but one of the most important things pointed out there is that bad luck lasts longer because work correlates directly with time at similar hashrates.
Now stick with me here for some theoretical analysis.
"Work done" is roughly a function of time and hashrate. If you were to have time fixed and allow the other variables to change the complaints would be about high hashrates but stretches of bad luck as defined by high required hashrates to solve blocks.
So what does longer time or more hashrate boil down to? More cost.
The way this all works though, the variable with the highest delta is time. When the current block is at 6x difficulty, it's not because we've all bought 6x more hardware or rented 6x more hashrate, otherwise pool hashrate would be way higher. Likewise though when blocks were at 1/7 difficulty, its not because we turned off 6/7 worth of our hardware.
So this is a long winded explanation of why bad luck seems to last much longer than good luck. There's no way around variance. And unless people want to buy a ton more hashrate and point it here, our main perception of bad luck will remain in the form of time.
Also keep in mind if we solve this block right now and proceed to hit a couple of 15-25% blocks, we'll be right back on track. But the celebrations of good luck will be just as short lived as the time spent mining the good luck blocks.

Sadly, I just had a SP20 die after a power outage, so that's 1.45T less from here I'm working on it now, but it doesn't look promising. I can get it to SD boot, but only inside an air conditioned environment. As soon as I put it next to the other miners (~30C) it will not boot. That sucks. Try clocking it lower. It may work. I had an ASIC I had to disable on a SP20E recently. Lots of issues cropping up with these little miners lately. So much for the "professional" and "carrier grade" designations... |

Yet another reason why not to mine on Eligius. They hide the truth. My recent post about the facts about their payout system got deleted: ... Thank for the great pool, i feel like im getting double profit yesterday... maybe this incident makes lot of miner mining wrong fork and so for us it seem difficulty get halved  Your maximum payout on CPPSRB is PPS - no more. yes, but i do feel that i get more from usual payment. maybe from transaction fee CPPSRB pays you a maximum of 100% PPS - no more - but usually less. To put it in the simplest terms: Don't believe wizkid057 or Luke-jr, one likes to hide the truth and the other lies regularly. Their pool has bad luck caused by them and their software. You must of course remember that the Luck statistic is NOT only random block finding luck but also includes the pool latency and related problems, which Eligius has, that I have proven before with many repeated simple tests. So now that we crossed the 500% percent mark, I think that means shares will be dropping off on the back end, so only the last 500% when a block is hit will be paid, correct? My understanding is that it functions Iike a 500% "wide" sliding window. Your portion of any payout is based on data within that 500% wide window. This would mean that the window now includes only work on this block and because it has been more than 500% since the last block, data begins to be discarded when calculating payouts. The discarded data is what is before the current 500% window and after the last payout... About an 8.6% "wide" window of data that is now to be discarded at the time of this post (508.6% on current block). Can someone more knowledgeable validate my understanding, or tear it to shreds? |

At some point don't we have to cut our losses and simply assume that there's something wrong with the pool and bail? I've already shutdown my less efficient miners because of this bad luck. I'd hate to lose my shares that I've built up during this time but I simply can't run my gear with no revenue incoming. I hate to think that I can't support small pools but the reality is... I can't justify (under any circumstances) an entire week without finding a block. I measure from Monday to Sunday. Last week we had approximately 50% coins mined than expected. We're just about 50% through this week. If my basic math serves me right, that means I'm still at 100% for the past week and a half. No reason to flip the ejector switch yet. |

I didn't think my response left any ambiguity about what effect those changes had on luck: Wow guys - that's some blocktastic green run you've got going on there, well done!
Do you think it's because of your modifications -ck mentioned earlier?:
No That the changes to bitcoind were "announced" coincidentally during the latter end of good luck streak coupled with the assertion that (and I vaguely quote here) "those changes were to give pools an advantage" when asked whether they'd be shared, may have led me (and anyone else bold enough to admit) to believe that they were responsible for the "improved luck". I am sure even the trolls, with the benefit of this hindsight would appreciate there's nothing out of the ordinary in that. But again I failed to get the answer (to draw parallels) to the secondary question: has the bad luck streak also afflicted the solo pool? (or maybe I should do my research ...) Ever since you started your recent line of witch hunt questioning we haven't solved a block. Seems this is no ordinary coincidence?! |

and another false report on the android app.. ok now this block is just teasing us..
probably has more to do with how the app is detecting new blocks than anything with the pool itself. |

website down but miners are still .... mining
back now for me. unfotunately was not result of hitting a block. |

Daym. we lost a LOT of miners..
Yep. Victims of the gamblers fallacy. |

Oh c'mon, this is getting ridiculous! I thought I'd give a small pool a chance but 3 days without a block is getting ridiculous. And it doesn't help that as the luck continues to get worse that more hashrate is running away. Grrrr.
Changes in hashrate don't change the luck, only the expected amount of time to solve a block. Worth a read: http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2015/07/faq-bitcoin-mining-and-luck-statistic.htmlSpecifically... 1. Gambler's fallacy
For miners who have been around for more than a year or two seen good and bad luck (unless they mine at a "Pay per share" pool, in which case they are not subject to luck at all) and know that it will even out in the long term. However, every new miner striking a run of bad luck will flail around, looking to escape to another pool that is not having bad luck. This sort of response to random events can be thought of as a type of gambler's fallacy.
2. Bad luck lasts longer
Another reason that makes us mis-judge mining luck is that when we mine, we mostly experience bad luck. In fact if you go to the trouble of working it out, your hours of mining will be about one-quarter good luck and three quarters bad luck. Why? Bad luck takes longer, good luck rounds take much less time.
3. Assessing luck over time instead of blocks
Another mistake made by novice miners is to assume that the extremes of luck will be the same for all pool over any time frame. This is wrong for two related reasons:
The more blocks are solved the closer luck approaches 100%
Because the timeframe for luck to to approach 100% varies depending on number of blocks solved, comparing various pools' luck over the same time period is invalid. Instead we need to compare luck over similar number of blocks.

Would it be possible display the last 100 blocks on the Blocks page? right now onl the last 42 are displayed. Maybe there is a reason 42 are displayed.
Thanks,
Because 6x7 And 10x10 is 100. Not sure I get the 6x7 reference Isn't 42 a reference to Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy? Could be. It's also twice the eventual total number of bitcoins, divided by 1 million. |
