KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2436 blocks

Those were a few Avalon farms that seem to have mostly disappeared since the Avalon sale.
They were actually Avalon themselves.

Kano, since as you said the PH's were coming from Avalon themselves, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that the new owners wanted the hash pointed toward another pool, i.e. a Chinese pool.
Actually one of the big pools could have helped raise some of the capital for the purchase contingent on where the power was pointed.
Just a thought.

They couldn't be that DUMB.

... and another from the Juvia fan club

Common Juvia!!!

some of you PMed me about this Juvia thing  

so here goes, this is for sharing and amusement only, so no haters please  

If you go to the worker shift section - each shift is named after an anime character - I can only imagine that -ck is a big anime fan! So my first block ever in kano was on the JUVIA shift #394569 in January I think. And it started a lucky run for me in mining... soon after I got a solo block #400770 at solo.ckpool.org... where I saw 25 BTC into my wallet one lucky morning.... and a few more things happened.... not appropriate to mention them here because it has something to do with ETH....

So from that moment, I decided to use 4 Juvia themes to power my rental strategy (after learning how the pool works and regular discussions in the forum). Electricity is expensive in my country, I stopped at 7 x S7s, and in progress to move them out to hosted DC... anyways, cut a long story short:

If you see QueenJuvia (FR), LadyJuvia (DE), LuckyJuvia (US) and PrincessJuvia (US) - they are all from my rental pool.

Some of you asked me about my rental strategy too, well... it's not foolproof but it keeps me in line with 5ND and I do get good returns during our lucky period - and we had many of those until now.... I also practise a strict 40%-30%-30% allocation of all proceeds, to rental, savings, expenses fund respectively and follow 2 rules diligently, never rent when NH & MRR pricing goes crazy high and never rent beyond whats allocated for that week... (sounds like good advice if you go to the casinos)

At this time, where we are missing the big irons to get us blocks, I will try to push more hash to the pool to help... but I can't do this forever although we have pretty goods rental rates at NH now - because - my rental strategy is designed to capitalise on lucky streaks and not to be the main bearer of petahash for the pool. Once I finish my allocated rental funds for this week (Wed), I have to pass the baton to cytline (he has real HW!) ... two of Juvia's minions have just finished hash should drop by now.

Keep calm, and keep on mining!

This is a test.... BTC gatekeeper will send us a few more blocks to survive this BTC drought!

Not -ck ... I chose the names, in my code
They're here in the code of course also: https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool/src/389978dcec1c038ac67e12309346144aae747237/src/ckdb.c?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default#ckdb.c-4161
A few are random characters, coz I was like: "... damn who can I think of that starts with that letter ..."
But a lot of them are fav characters in their respective shows.

my apologies Kano - naming the shifts were a fantastic addition to the pool - very unique .

you and ck should switch avatars though 

I am messing around with the S9 tonight so I will be MIA for awhile...

That's awesome. Is akatsuki a character, or is it the organization from a certain ninjanime?

For the lazy folks:

Code:

        "akatsuki",
	"belldandy",
	"charlotte",
	"darkchii",
	"elen",

Kano tabulated a YTD block count for them awhile back -- I think "elen" is the top blocker!

    37 | akatsuki
    44 | belldandy
    40 | charlotte
    41 | darkchii
    40 | elen
    31 | felli + frey
    45 | gin
    38 | hitagi
    33 | ichiko

    32 | paru
    35 | quinn
    29 | rika

    41 | ur
    35 | valentina
    44 | winry
    33 | xenovia
    41 | yuno
    38 | zekken

I changed 2 (so far) so there's 2 names for 'f' and 't'
I'll probably end up changing 'a' also

Gin's first, Winry and Belldandy are second.

Good job Canaan - for pumping in more hash to the pool.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going - if you have some spare BTCs, you should help give some life the pool and get them blocks faster.... you will also improve your 5ND and get a bigger payout since the top 10 is up for grabs now.

I hope we will have a few big miners coming to Kano soon!

I've been meaning to ask where you rent your uhhh... rentals?. I've got tax returns coming, and I was thinking sticking that right into coins, but rentals could be decent for me as well. However, getting into a cloud mining scam sounds like the worst option

Nicehash and Mining Rig Rentals (MRR) are 2 decent rental sites.... they have their pros and cons though, and you need to really watch & track the rentals rates, and their policies .... sometimes you get good rates like 2.1-2.3 on standard rentals (take note NH changed their pricing structure recently). Eventually, you need to find the right balance in spending what you can afford on rentals vs owning the gear yourself... but if you have expensive electricity, rental and own gear combination is a good strategy.
