Where to mine with 36Ths 24/7?

Questions/answers about the pool would be best in the pool thread
So anyone with the same question might see the answer

LOL. Agreed.
I will be moving my miners back to Kano in a couple weeks after my current experiment. It will be nice to use a node closer to home. NYA should be very good for my ping time. See ya'll again soon!

My final decision is I will leave my miners at first pool kano.is for one month and will update.

These are my configuration of my miners atm and will be for one month.

0 stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333
1 stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:443
2 stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:25

Thanks

Depending on where you are located, kano's pool has other locations that may be a better option for you. The best way to figure out which one works best (i.e.: is closest) for you is to ping them and check the response times.

Kano's nodes are:

• US: stratum.kano.is
• US: nya.kano.is
• DE: de.kano.is
• SG: sg.kano.is
• JP: jp.kano.is
• NL: nl.kano.is

and all of the nodes listen on these ports:

• 3333
• 80
• 81
• 443
• 8080

in case you have issues getting through firewalls.

I live in the US on the east coast so I'd consider using stratum.kano.is and nya.kano.is:

Code:

ping -c 10 stratum.kano.is

So for me it would be better to use nya.kano.is, but I would then put one of the other nodes as a backup pool, and then for my third pool pick a different pool altogether, and now knowing what I know about p2pool, I'd use one of the public p2pool nodes.

edit: added port info

I'm gonna do this today and will let you know.

You guys are the best.

Thanks

Best ping i get is from de.kano.is with time=37 ms

Should i configure it with stratum.de.kano.is:3333 ?

[sarakuka]

This is my last configuration. I have the best ping with de.kano.is then nl.kano.is then stratum.kano.is that way I configured.



Thanks
