Yes, but why should pools change their protocol because one mining company says so? Why not make chips that hash at their advertised rates, and then ASICBOOT if your pool supports it to get up to higher rates?
Pools are designed to make money from miners. Do you think pools will refuse to implement it and shut out potential new customers?

Will CKPool support it day 1?
It's already deployed on both ckpools Smiley I'm mining with an experimental sample already on ckpool.org

Do you have any real numbers of how it performs with Asicboost on or off on the pool?

Cheers
602  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Bitminter bitcoin mining pool - Pays TxFees, Merged Mining, Fair PPLNS rewards on: March 07, 2018, 07:27:57 AM
Yeah, those transaction fees, we get them when we mine a block. There's noone on the web collecting them. And noone is earning them in between blocks. When we create a block we put transactions in the block. We earn the new coins created in the block, plus the transaction fees for the transactions we put in the block.


I guess I misunderstood too... So you're saying we aren't accumulating transaction fees since December.  The only transaction fees that are paid out are those that are part of the block that is found by us.   Is that right?

Is there some explanation other than a long run of bad luck for why this is taking so long? Has difficulty jumped that much higher? Other variables?


Only variables that affects block finding is luck. Hashrate of the pool and difficulty play a big part in expected luck but not actual luck. In reality of course the ratio between hashrate and difficulty is the main driver of a pools efficacy.

Bottom line difficulty is going through the roof. It's doubled since the beginning of December. A pool needs to have doubled it's hashrate to keep up even with average (100%) luck. It also needs to be large enough to get its expected number of blocks within each difficulty change.

Bad luck will affect smaller pools over short time periods, but all pools no matter what size suffer from it. If a pool can maintain its Hash to difficulty ratio then over the long term given average luck, then Fees will play a part in how much is earned.

(If this is not the dedicated thread for general Kano pool question then please let me know exactly where... I could not find a link to allow me to start a new topic... not super intuitive for new user)

How is the "Expected Block Found" calculated in the Kano mining pool monthly statistics, future blocks?  How is this projected?  Kano pool projects 1.4 expected blocks in March.  Most months in the past 12 months have projected 40-60 expected blocks.  Why is it so much lower now in March.  Also, where can I get more information defining the other columns in the "Monthly Statistics" graph on the Kano mining pool:  Mean Diff%, Mean Tx%, CDF [Erl], Luck %, PAPPS%, etc.

It's just the expected blocks so far this month. It changes every time a block is found and is calculated based on the current hashing power of the pool against the current network difficulty. The other months are historically accurate.

Someone with more time will be along to explain the rest, no doubt.

You only get the fees if you find a block, there are no fees to distribute if a block is not found.

Can someone tell me what the Per Th reward rate was for the last 3 blocks, please only let me know if you were fully ramped up, if you were not, the info is useless for me for what i want to do.
Thanks
You can PM me if you want instead.
You can work it out from the Rewards page.
 "Your BTC" /  "Your N Avg"

It will be the same (for a few decimal places) for everyone (per block)

My rewards page has VERY low numbers...  from defecting... :-)

I believe you call it dust.

I know...  I might be slapped for this...  but the 8500 kWh / month electrical bill needed to be paid.

Besides, I like it when the road to Bitcoin Summit ramps up and down through the mountains and valleys :-)

Yep, but it doesn't affect the BTC/TH value - that will be the same for everyone.
See my post edit above.

Very similar numbers here:

Code:
BLOCK	BTC/TH
512233 0.000264223
511706 0.000273256
511587 0.000264634
510992 0.000261885

forgot about going back and reading first page lol
thanks for that
will chang my main one to Netherlands

You could try pinging them from your location and see which one has the lowest latency.

im using this as pool 1
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333
im in the uk
where do i find the other urls for the other kano.is nodes
sorry total noobie lol

Answers in the first post in this thread, best for you is probably de (germany) or nl (netherlands):


Mining configuration:
Go to https://www.kano.is and register a username to mine with, by clicking on the Register/Reset link at the top right,
or mine directly to the pool without registering, using a bitcoin payment address as your username.
No password is required, so just use X for your password in your miner, since most miners need you to enter a password.

e.g.
On your miner setup page, use something like this:
Code:
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
+ Pool1:             | stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333  |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
+ Worker:            | Kano.worker                         |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
+ Password:          | x                                   +
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
Of course replace 'Kano.worker' with your pool username.worker Smiley

If you have network issues using port 3333, you can also try:
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:80

You can also try any of:
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:81
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:443
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:8080


There are other nodes located around the world that you may be closer to:
stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333 (NewYork)
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 (Netherlands)
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333 (Germany)
stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333 (Japan)

As with the main stratum node, each of those nodes allows mining to port 3333, 80, 81, 443 and 8080

My calculations are the same. This pool needs to hit 8 blocks a month for the payout to be more. 1.1% is a big difference if you are making a fixed amount per month but that is not the case. I understand we look back at the history but what history doesn’t take into account is the amount of new hashing power that has come online and will continue to drive the difficulty to the moon. We need to promote the crap out of this pool and start now. It is the BEST pool here hands down but we are not going to win anymore miners here until WE step up and make it happen. When it becomes unaffordable for the larger miners to mine here, they will slowly leave too. It is more than just money to some but eventually everyone will have a breaking point for one reason or another. I love this pool and you guys are the best but we need to get off our asses and come up with a solution.

Its not about getting more miners to mine at this pool, what should be happening is you and everyone already on the pool should be buying more hardware to keep up with the difficulty, getting the rest of the pool bigger but staying the same yourself means you will just get smaller and smaller rewards.

Instead of spending time trying to get more miners, spend some money and get more hardware yourself. This isn't something new its something everyone has had to do since mining began.

Nope - if the pool grew with new miners then at least the current miners will continue to get smaller and smaller rewards..  if the pool doesn't grow at all then no one gets anything..  less and less of ZERO is not the same as less and less of SOMETHING CONSTANT

that is the point you old heads keep ignoring.. you keep thinking this is the same old small vs big pool discussion and ignoring the ghost ship pool syndrome

I pointed this out months ago and got all kinds of 'stupid native yelling' thrown back at me...  enjoy mining your smugness


PS-   Who is cryptostarusa anyway??  Is that cloud hash that kano is spending his BTC on?  or is it a miner he reached out to and greased his wheels?

Mate the only point that you make is that you are an imbecile. Nothing you are saying is new to us "old heads" we knew about it years before you even had an inkling of it in your head. We knew, we consider and we plan our mining around our knowledge, anything you say is just bad gas. I am one of the few have put up with the rubbish spewing from your fingers but its just boring now, so from no on it'll just be when someone who doesn't know better quotes you that I'll have to put up with it.

The number of miners makes no difference, its just about the size of the pool. Its nothing to do with the pool per-se, its to do with the people mining at the pool, and their ability to increase their hash rate to keep the pool and their income viable. Its better to have less miners with more hash power than more miners with less hash power.

If people want to have a consistent income from mining they have to keep buying hardware to keep up with the difficulty, its the same since day 1 of mining and will always be the same.

If anything the difficulty to keep up is to do with the slow down in technology innovation around mining and the greed and control of a single primary supplier. In the past hardware has got faster, more efficient and cheaper, this has changed recently, that and the increase in value of bitcoin and the subsequent "gold rush" mentality of new miners means its tougher and tougher to maintain that steady growth.

People getting into it now are only just realising what we "old heads" knew 18 months ago. You can't do this at home anymore, you have to have your gear colo'ed somewhere with cheap and abundant power. Problem is that there is no room at the inn for most of the hosting companies.

Hello, I've been mining for the past few days now, but I do not see any progress on how much I'm making or any payouts anywhere on the status page? any advice?

Because we haven't found a block for 134 hours.
617  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [2+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); World's First Mining Pool on: February 20, 2018, 09:44:56 AM
Please can Slushpool look into merge mining Crown(CRW)?
Hashrate has fluctuated between 1 - 2 EH for several months now.

Current Hashrate - Crown.Today


Crown has a proposal in  "Development Corner" #597.



Check the first post in this thread. It's not monitored or participated in by anyone officially from slush pool.

No thats bogus FUD, bitmine and AMT just purchased the chips and boards from innosilicon and build miners around them.

There were lots of A1 miners around at the time, available from other resellers in china.

I find it odd that they are time after time avoiding my thorough question about the exactly similar design with Innosilicon hardware & software.

Usually when I ask this in the Telegram group chat, they just talk about different subject or post memes/emojis.

What makes you think you're so important that they should divulge trade secrets to a random stranger on a message board? Instead of everyone yelling scam why not just wait until March to see if the first batch of orders ship? The amount of time some of you are spending on this thread is nauseating. 

Some of us have been around a long time, and have seen other people or have even been themselves victims of previous scams, some, I might add, that have been far better organised. So people like myself, HF and Philipma  and numerous others want to try and help others who may not have the experience to avoid any potential monetary loss on something that may be too good to be true.

There are probably many here who have fronted up coin to this or other potential hardware manufacturing newcomers, some of those people can afford to risk the $9000 or so that it cost for the MOQ, but I would hazard to guess there are a hell of a lot of people who can't afford to lose that amount or even more. So suggesting prudence and asking reasonable questions of the manufacturer are not out of order, nor are they delusions of grandeur.

So these people are suggesting caution, they are suggesting to wait and see, what they are not doing is thinking they are self important, or better than anyone else, they have seen too many bloodbaths on this forum and don't want to see another.
