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

[overcon]

Kano seems pretty popular here, may as well add my 27T/H to it.

Can I add L3+'s though?

Thanks

No.

Don't you know that L3+ is not a Bitcoin miner, but a Scrypt-algorithm cryptocurrency (like Litecoin for example) ASIC miner ? 

It is important to know what you are doing when you are in the mining business.

Though LLitecoin is over 100 so mine on!

This is a Bitcoin only pool.

Hello All,
Been buried reading and reading more trying to get up to speed with everything... Started at slushpool for a week and a half and did well with my s9. Investigated more and found you guys! I love the fact that everything is so transparent. A few questions obviously.. lol

1. hypothetically if everyone ran at 100% would most pools payout the same using PPLNS method adding tx and minus the pool fee?

2. frequency of blocks, having a lower hash rate then the larger pools we don't have the frequency of block success....but is that made up because of less hashing power to pay? ie more to spread around to fewer folks?

3. while reading, I came across pinging where our miners are pointed. I am pointed at "stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333" How would I ping this? Also, if it is high, is it worth changing to a lower rate. For example I pinged kano.is and it was burtal 145ns, then pinged the ny one(sorry cant remember) and it came back 39ns (worth a change?) If it is what would be the new address.

I have more questions but I don't want to abuse my new status.. lol

Thanks in advance to any help and answers.

Yes, the payouts are spread across all users based on amount of shares your machines submit.  Larger pools spread the payouts across more miners so each share is less.  Smaller pools spread the payouts across less miners so the payout is more.  The net effect is about the same as all pools expect to hit 100% over time with the differences being if the pool pays out transaction fees and how much the pool fees are.  Here we do get the transaction fees where most pools keep those and Kano's fee of 0.9% is one of the lowest around and it's 0% this month

You can ping directly from your miners as well, this can be important if you have your machines in a different location like a data center, etc.  Log into one of your machines, click on the Network tab and then click on the Diagnostics tab.  Ping each of the Kano links below and note the average speed it takes and definately use the fastest as your main link.  It's also a good idea to use main stratum link as one of your backups just in case the node you choose to use goes down for some reason.

stratum.kano.is
de.kano.is
sg.kano.is
jp.kano.is
nl.kano.is
nya.kano.is

Formatted Links to use for mining (use 3333 or 80, 81, 443, 8080 for the port):
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://sg.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333

Please, I have a question: What the difference between the Shares and Avg Share??

Thanks for attention.

EDIT: Sorry for my noobest question.

And which one is calculated to know how much BTC I am generating per hour?

Your BTC per hour is random - that's how ALL PPLNS pools work.

Your expected, average BTC per hour is simply your hash rate * TxnFees,
The 100% PPS calculation is on this page:
http://tradebtc.net/bitcalc.php
N.B. some sites don't uderstand what 1-Diff is so may give you a wrong different value.

What you should get (close to) for a given range on the Blocks page is your hash rate (as 100% PPS) * luck * txnfees
(without subtracting the pool fee until next year)

looks like bitcoin price is going crazy these days...
nearly 2k+ in one week if I wasn't to stupid reading the numbers in my blockfolio app 

Let's get this party started!! :-D

Chickens for everyone!!

Got to command prompt and type ping nya.kano.is for an example. I think the rest is self explanatory. Here is what I get for NYA, but you should ping all the servers and use the top fastest 3 pings when setting up your miners. They say in life, "timing" is everything. Based on my location my fastest 3 are NYA, US then NL but based upon where you live it can be different.  

Pinging nya.kano.is [104.207.132.42] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 104.207.132.42: bytes=32 time=16ms TTL=54
Reply from 104.207.132.42: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=54

Reply from 104.207.132.42: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=54

Ping statistics for 104.207.132.42:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 15ms, Maximum = 16ms, Average = 15ms

So as displayed for me the fastest route to get to the work is with the NYA server. 15ms is fast for a round trip packet.

Hope this helps answer question 3.
 

Thanks for the reply and info,
Talking about pining... When I asked about pining I meant addresses to ping like you put down.
nya.kano.is that is the one that comes back the best. could you put the other two that you use as well. I am from us (midwest) and looking for the fastest ones for me as well.
How did you find those addresses as well, is there a list somewhere?
Recap of addresses you find the fastest: examples plz

nya.kano.is
us.kano.is......?

sometimes I am a bit slow on the pick up but when I get it it's gotten.....

Well it appears that using fastest node (if that's what it is) really helps the efficiency of the miner.
for me is:  stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333

I was averaging about one reject an hour (about 27 or so during a 24 hour period). At present I don't have any.
Went from pinging 139 ish ns to 49ns and it has made a difference. Not sure if any of it is related but I also have no hw errors. Only been up an hour from reset though.
Hope this helps anyone that is new.
I will be lurking, keep up the great posts

OK, block time! Let's roll this B

A bit off topic, but can someone suggest the best way to purchase BTC?
I am currently using coinbase.
Thanks

in case anyone is interested, it appears that nicehash has been hacked.  It has been offline (maintenance mode) for over 10 hours now.  And now reddit is having troubles too...  https://www.reddit.com/r/NiceHash/

Wow! Hopefully they dont start attacking pools.

nearly 5,000 BTC stolen? Dayum....That's harsh.

I guess that's why you don't leave your coins on a service?
