Hey Kano, I’ve noticed in the payment section and in the CSV that in my case there is only 4 dust payments from the year of 2019 out of which I believe I received only 1. But the whole year of 2018 is missing completely. Should we expect the dust payments from that year or not? Thanks.
Not sure what you mean, but there are normally no dust payments at all. "Dust Rewards" are usually only when you have a VERY tiny hash rate or at the start of ramping or the end of ramping down. Well what I mean is that I’ve had your pool as a backup pool and was getting rewarded something for all of the blocks that were found between around December 20th 2017 up until today’s date. Yes the hashrate was very little from 0-500ghs but on the rewards page it says that I was getting something for almost all of the blocks found in that time period. For example. From November 2018 I was getting rewarded anywhere from 0.000010 to 0.000070 all depending on how much time my miners have jumped to your pool for a certain period of time. And it is in the rewards page but never got that paid out. So my question is if you are planning on paying out those dust payments to me and other people that were getting little hashrate and getting some dust payments in their rewards page or not? Last time I’ve asked you about it and you’ve said that you were working o pen more important things but will eventually get to creating some code so that the people are able to get their dust payments. |

... I was wondering where that $11 came from to my wallet. I thought someone sent it by mistake!  Kano so what you’re saying is that soon all the previously collected dust payments will be paid out?  Yep, I've completed a new (internal) report that will tell me everything I need to know about every account's balance, also, of course, including the new Payments and the Reward Adjustments data. So now just gotta complete a separate (non-block) payout from that data. Also, the Payments page now has a "CSV" link at the top right of the table, that will generate a link for downloading all the Payments as a CSV file. It auto-clicks the generated link so the download starts - except on Apple devices - in their case you click the 2nd link it generates to get the CSV file. Great, will be waiting. I wonder how much dust I got in there!  Thanks Kano! And thanks for the CSV link as well!

For those wanting this, you can now set a bech32/bc1 'address' as your account payout address.
It has the usual rules on input of all UPPER or all lower case, but is stored internally and displayed as all lower case.
... and just a reminder for anyone who's not mined here for a long time, you should make sure your payout address is current. Once I complete the new 'balance' payout code, total unpaid dust payouts will be happening soon after, and current miners will be first off the rank. Current miners will get it as part of their first block payout after the 'balance' payout code is ready. FYI, as most probably know, dust does also include the blocks anyone wasn't paid, due to ignoring putting a payout address on their account, before the block was found.

... I've read through this thread several times now...and I really want to join Kano. Unfortunately, I need to pay bills regularly  I do have some ideas for the pool's growth though: 1. Focus on the smaller guys! (specifically S9 owners) Not sure what you mean by 'focus'? 2. Explain PPLNS payout & Ramps using 1x S9's hashrate as an example - show graphs/time needed etc.
Well there are quite a few explanations, including on the web site. But the 5Nd is also shown on the graph and the time needed depends on the pool hash rate, which is also stated on the web site, but changes regularly since it depends on the pool hash rate 3. Maybe half the ramp to 2.5Nd? Waiting +-3months for full payout is brutal)
Changing the 5Nd will affect the long term miners and allow people to take advantage of that change ... 4. Cancel the large miner's BTC reward (not really working + the big fish seem to leave after getting the reward anyway)
Well, no they don't leave 'after getting the reward' The majority has gone to large miners who 'did' spend a lot of time on the pool. 5. Use the saved coins to payout all dust bunnies asap & in future (see point 1)
Still working on it ... 6. Use the saved coins to also hire a website designer (Kano.is seriously needs some love)
This wont happen, since it involves doing useless things to the web site and, basically, is a security risk. I guess you just need to actually mine on the pool, look at the pages available and ask questions about them. The data available here is actually more detailed and more accurate than I think any other pool. 7. Lower fees to 0.5% (can be raised again when the pool is larger & regularly finding blocks)...people obviously aren't willing to jump ship for 1.1% saving vs Slush
Kind regards,
Cjs
Well I don't really want to run the pool at a loss ... You see, one thing you probably don't realise, is that we are the best connected pool of ALL pools. I've got nodes all over the planet, connected to every Fibre relay and even in China to ensure our blocks get out to the other pools, and to also ensure that when the Fibre relay isn't working (which happens on occasion) we still get our blocks out as fast as possible. But I have already stated clearly to many that if we do get over 400PH for 5Nd (i.e. for the reward) then I'll drop it to 0.6% 5. Use the saved coins to payout all dust bunnies asap & in future (see point 1) Still working on it ... No offense Kano, but you have been saying that ever since I’ve joined the pool, which was probably more than 2 years ago. Will you really make it happen? |

Can we get a block this month or too much to ask for?
I think you’re asking for too much at the current difficulty and hashrate of the pool At a 135%, I don't think that is too much to ask. I think we'll get one, at least, by the end of the month. I think you called it  And we still have plenty of month left for one or two more. That’s interesting! When the luck was low even in the big pools it has been around 70% until around the 20th. Then it has jumped to about 130% and that’s when you hit a block here! Like the luck is same for all!  |

Excellent, cables arrived, replaced a faulty breaker, and my third M10 is finally back online. Can't wait to bring the M20 monster to the pool hopefully by the end of the month. Let's get that Block cracked. Edit: info regarding M20 reply was to a deleted post. I ordered mine as a demo unit (full price paid) using pangolinminer. I wouldn't trust that site. You can check the link below, under Microbt ( manufacturer) they use 2 distributors Pangolin and Whatsminer . I believe the first batch release isn't slated to ship until August. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5045732.0Thanks! |

Deleted his post - since there's official web sites for them.
That’s what I was asking, what was the official page where I could buy one. |

I don’t understand one thing. Last block, last month was found on the 5th and that was the last block found that month, no blocks for 25 days after that. It was a block number 3 that month with expected of 2.56 and luck 117.20%. 25 days later when the month was over nor the expected blocks has changed nor did the 117% luck. How did that happen and nothing changed in the statistics after not finding a block for 25 days after that? The blocks page shows block found - the monthly table shows blocks found in that month. Normally when the pool size is larger, the gaps between blocks are smaller - just so happened we had a longer time between two blocks and it spanned a month boundary. The side effect is always that the first block of all months includes some hashing in the previous month, just this time it was most of the previous month. Ok, so what was the actual luck for the previous month if say you found the block on the 30th and not the first? A different value that didn't happen  The hash rate changes often on the pool (that's why it says 30-400PH) so moving those numbers to something that didn't happen, would not just linearly affect the result - it would of course also make this month look a lot better. Ok I understand |

If the pool hash rate is the same, the changes take the same time.
However, time doesn't factor in to the amount of your rewards.
Pool luck is all that determines that, though we are getting quite small now, where large positive diff changes will also affect that.
Fortunately, there's been no large positive diff changes for a while.
no but time factors into our average which does affect our rewards, right? I lost half a TH on my average within 5 hours - after being back online for 14.5 hours, my average is still not where it was before the 5 hours of outage. I think the pool hash rate was in the 40 PH during the time I was offline vs the 28-32 PH range it has been since I came back online. could that be why I am ramping up slower? and can we please find a block soon? lol over 20 days now I want to buy new equipment lol Yeah, 504 hours no block. That’s the record breaker for Kano since the beginning I think! |

Block! by the new guy xasmer - welcome to the acclaim board!
Ahhh, the power of PPLNS! February is now 0.00005216 BTC/Day/TH Yeah, not bad at all!!! Don’t you wish it was like that every month? ... and yet oddly enough, the stats on minergain are showing the yearly BTC/Day/TH are still higher than Slush ... So anyone mining slush instead of here lost out ... though I still wonder how that is possible, but the numbers are the numbers Yep, in Slush I’m sure they did miss out |

Block by Rabinovitch with 140TH...nice! This is our 1st of BLOCK FRIDAY! Great news, let them keep coming!   This has been a bad luck month eh? But not for long In the big pools the luck has been just as shitty lately. Just a bad luck season or something. |

A small joke, don't get mad...
Knock-knock
Who is there?
A block
Block who?
...
Your Joke worked! Lol . Keep them coming! |

Nice block! Not sure why my block % dropped by 1/3rd within the last 5 minutes of the block being found. Scratching my head on that one... Guessing the pool takes a 33% fee  No, it was that big miner 16vV8 with 240PH that came on the pool for 24 hours that made all of our block% drop. His work counted as well and the pool only takes a fee of 0.9%. Yes he definitely gave you guys an awesome boost for a few days, I believe, so yes he is getting a good chunk of that block. 240PH Is a no joke farm which has to get paid for its work as well. When the block was found the pool average was 87PH and after he left the pool hash rate went back to like 50? So I assume that the 37-40PH is what he ramped up to and is his piece of the pie. |
