There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Kano, Just wanted to say Thank you for running a great pool.  Your patience with answering some of the same questions over and over for new pool member is that of a saint. Have you thought of making a FAQ page? Then when the same question is asked we could copy and past your answer or send them to the FAQ. I'm just thinking of the time you must spend making this the best pool for miners. Thank You again. AKA. pingster |

Hey guys,
Should I change the minimum difficulty for my worker?

No, the pool is very good at setting an appropriate difficulty automatically. |

No, the pool is very good at setting an appropriate difficulty automatically. If you achieve a decent Hashrate, not really necessary. The pool does a pretty good job at that. You may can squeeze out a few GH/s by setting it, but there is some testing needed, as each miner has it's own chracteristic, also the speed and reliability of your network connection has an influence . E.g. I have set SP20 to 1792 and S5 to 1280 at the moment. But these number may vary widely in your setup. Not much of a difference if I let it to auto, main advantage that you are up to speed faster e.g. after a pool restart. |

That said, the first S4 firmwares were that sort of broken (long since fixed now), and just about every dragon miner was too, but everything else was NOT, and setting diff there has no effect on anything at all so there is no squeezing anything out of anything for the vast majority of hardware. |

 Welcome aboard... not sure if your doing anything wrong but the pool has not found a block in the last 25 hours and even then the payout will not come until the blocks has 100+ confirms. |

I really like the new stats that have been added. The Block Statistics addition is really nice!
All - Last 185 Blocks 95.62% 95.05% 0.2545 105.21% - Makes me very happy I mine here.

No need for the eyeroll, just want to make sure I'm not wasting my hash power for another day. The pay structure is quite complicated. |

Here's an easy breakdown for you... 1) point your miners here 2) pool finds block 3) block gets 100 confirms 4) kano sends you coins Because it's PPLNS, you have to "ramp up"... which means you're not going to get your full potential until N time has passed, so don't be surprised if on your first payment it's lower than you think it should be. |

I pointed very little hash here for a couple days when the pool found like 3 blocks, I received almost instant payments. Luck and patience, my friend. |

You won't receive instant payments - the blocks must mature to 100 confirmations before kano sends payments for them. |

Note, "almost instant", i.e. they were paid to me very quickly. |

I guess our definitions of instant and almost instant are different . On average you're waiting over 16 hours from the time the block is found until the payment can be sent. |

I hope I'm not bad luck Been mining here since Friday at 1pm EST and no payout The pool loss about half of the hash it had prior to finding the last block, due to a large miner leaving, so the blocks are coming slower but the payouts will be bigger. Just don't get discouraged with your first payouts until you get past the 500% mark which this block is at 167%. Kano has explained how the payout systems works many times here. Bottom line is this pool is honest with no worries. |
