Kano, why oh why did you ever provide an incentive to strive for such a high CDF???  |

It's really shocking to see how small other pools' block sizes are compared to this pool. It's not like it's just a couple of bytes. It's like they're not even trying. The mind boggles.

Any chance this service could be https? Don't like passwords and API keys floating around in the clear.

Yeah I have 0% respect for that scum bag.
Heh. But how do you really feel, K? |

Thanks all for the comments and references, very interesting. |

Well...your question itself is the reason I don't rent hash. There's no BTCPD gonna look out for us. Our security is our own responsibility. That said, I'm sure the renters are, on the whole, honest...but I don't see much of a way to independently (as a user) verify that, and so my basically paranoid personality tends to rely on my own gear, and on a pool that essentially has the Bernie Sanders outlook...keep it honest, keep it efficient, and keep on truckin'...  Specifically, the hypothesis is that dishonest miners are contributing hashes but stealing blocks from various pools. If pools don't have a way of detecting such behavior, then what you would see is some longer-established pools starting to see consistent lower luck. New small pools such as kano would see relatively higher luck until the dishonest miners start infiltrating them as well. In other words, the anecdotal data on "luck" of different pools is consistent with there being dishonest miners out there. So what is or can be done to detect and/or block such miners? Certainly over time you can run statistical tests that would identify miners with below-average luck. At some point that becomes statistically significant, but a smart dishonest player could keep changing accounts to make this hard to detect. Or more realtime tricks could be done by the pool to detect and kill bad players up front. |

It has also been posted many times about if you can trust the miners you rent to report a block if found. Also you have no idea how far away from the pools servers they are located.
I've been wondering about this. Does anyone have any references on this, or perhaps kano/ck can comment on what safeguards exist against bad miners? Do you test miners periodically to see if they faithfully report winning hashes? |

I'd like to point out that the SG node was responsible for the second last block. In addition to it being found there, with the latest node code added to ckpool it was submitted to the local bitcoind on the SG node before the main pool did, further decreasing the chance of a block being orphaned. [2016-01-12 15:44:08.413] Possible block solve diff 170121647413.087646 !
[2016-01-12 15:44:08.603] BLOCK ACCEPTED!
[2016-01-12 15:44:08.604] Solved and confirmed block 393021 by bery89.82s3
This is the code kano was waiting on (me writing) before deploying these remote nodes to make it worthwhile to create remote mining locations. We may deploy one more remote location soon. Sweet. |

Getting back on topic, Kano, when are you going to support powerball mining? |

Hoping some of that luck will rub off...  |

7 blocks in 24h....
We are a 24x7 pool! |

I really did have the chicken wing sampler for dinner tonight. Figured I'd do it for the team!
I'm beginning to believe in voodoo...

... With Kano, he is right here "unless he is sleeping."
He sleeps??? I'm disillusioned. |

Perhaps all of us recent kano converts need to be properly trained on the use of chicken to improve pool luck? I for one have been grilling steaks on my S7, but now I'm worried that this is negatively affecting pool luck...
if grilling steaks on them isn't working (apart from the pleasant cooking smell) perhaps you could use the hot air as a chicken incubator, work out the bugs in your grilling technique and by then the chicks should be ready for harvest along with a few back to back blocks. Vegetarian disclaimer: No animals were harmed in this making of this post, but you might want to look away in the near future when coffeeangst ramps up his hybrid chicken/block farm. I'd have deaf chicks. |

Yep, I'm already regretting moving my miners from Nicehash to Kano.
haha was it yourself who said "You guys are all screwed, with my luck we'll be lucky to find a block from now on!!!"  so we can blame you for the 249.9% (BTW this was in jest) Perhaps all of us recent kano converts need to be properly trained on the use of chicken to improve pool luck?

My dice have been coming up low for the last couple hours. I think I'll move over to the next table where the dice have been coming up high. Duh. |

Kano you should consider setting up automatic traffic management with a service like NS1, and provide a DNS entry that routes people to the closest pinging server from their location.

Second remote node up and running, in Germany
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:80
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:81
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:443
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:8080
Again all with IPv4 or IPv6
Wow you're on a roll. |

kudos to dmwardjr for bringing our new mining brothers into the fold.
Well, I know I did not bring all of them here. Still need to send out more PM's. I believe a lot of them are here from Slush. Welcome everyone! Please remain through to full payout of your 5Nd and stay at least two weeks afterward to get an idea of the potential here at CK/Kano. I personally do not believe you will regret it. Spread the word everyone! Send PM's to people... Even to complete strangers if you have to. I slushed over.  |
