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

We are about 15% through this difficulty period blocks -
- An estimate: If the network continue at the current rate of finding blocks:  2 203 417 299 950  +14.10%    18/01/13 04:33

Note: Only thing I am sure of is that the figure above is not the next difficulty change. It only gives an indication of the hashing power above/below for the first 1.74 days into this period.

If anyone has better estimate please share

That would be a big jump from this last adjustment of ~3%.  I've noticed its better to wait until the last couple of days to get a better idea of what it will be.  Hashrate can go up or down a lot of days during the 2 week time periods.

Yes, the confidence on any estimate now is very low so early and one can not really make any conclusion from a prediction. It only gives an indication of the hashing power for the first 15% of time.

There did however come in quite a bit of hashing power in the last part of the previous period which I think was not well reflected in the ~3% difficulty change. Lets wait and see where it goes. Will continue sending updates every couple of days

Yes. I'm still trying to figure out where the 2-3 Exahashes go from BTC during certain times.  I see it hit 18+ to sometimes down to under 15.  This huge amount power going on and off is a big determinant if we see bigger adjustments moving forward.

Remember there is no direct measurement of Network hashrate - it is back calculated by the blocks found.  There will always be statistical variance on the blocks found, so the hashrate calculation will follow along.

Interesting - certainly contribute to the jumps.

Great.  That's why I asked.  Makes sense now.

Yes, back calculation on a sample....  always exactly this <-------> accurate.

Some of it heads to BCH.

Nice pepe...I will join this club very soon (currently 117).   One new miner will propel into the top 100.  WE NEED MORE HASH RATE!

[Megaquake]

Calculated the time to find a block at current pool hash rate, looks like ~72 hours so we should have a block within 6 hours!

What's the cut off for the top 100 these days? 150 ths? 100?

~56th/s or higher is top 100

HI Kano,

is there a way for you to help me Accelerate two transactions? i sent them from a very old wallet to my new wallet, at the time i didnt know how much the fees hiked since the old wallet software was built. the fee attached to the TX below are 0.0002, and 0.0004 respectively, and i don't knwo hwo to get them accelrated, theyve been stuck in limbo for a week + now:

---

thanks for any help you can lend!
...

Heh that's a bad question to ask not in PM
Coz it means I have to reply ...

Firstly, the straight answer is 'no'.
That's the answer I give to everyone who asks, except I think probably on fewer occasions than I can count on one hand, over the last few years.
If the inputs are from another pool, then it's pretty much a case of ... yeah right ... why are you even asking?

The basic point is that if we accelerate transactions, we are reducing our rewards.
One or two is no real big deal, but as soon as I say yes, it will become a flood of people who make low fee transactions wanting us to confirm them.
... and since it's a few days between blocks at the moment, it's even more of a loss to confirm low fee transactions since it's the equivalent of applying that low fee transaction to a few days of rewards.

The fix is: don't make low fee transactions ...

We need a group buy on renting some hashing power. I haven't really sat down and mathematically drawn it up on paper yet by the hypothesis is: Wouldn't it be cheaper if 20-30 miners rented additional hashing power instead of buying new equipment. Obviously, being able to effectively manage something like that would be one thing but the management issue aside, pooled resources always have a cheaper cost to the end user (not necessarily an overall savings).

These efforts usually end up badly.  Best thing is if you had a few local friends to pool together and get an operation going than do that but even then you'll probably lose a few friends as some pull out and force others to pay more and etc etc just like bands break up all the time

As soon as the fingers start pointing it's over

That is why I stated that the management is another story. In theory though, it just makes sense that we would be better off doing that then spending 7k on miners.

Kano: Is this something you would be open to letting us do?

Firstly, rental is certainly a very bad idea.
It's in the person who owns the hardware's best financial interest to withhold blocks.
If they can get away with doing it (not hard to do) then it's really a major conflict of interest.

As for a group buy (of hardware), well the issue is that I certainly can't manage it, since I'm in the wrong part of the planet.
You have to trust whoever gets the hardware, so there's no point adding me to attempt to reduce the risk.

I'm on Steve's mailing list and was included in the "Do you want to be a distributor?" emails.
Of course my answer was "no reply", coz I'm in the wrong part of the planet ... and I spend all possible time running the pool ... yeah I'm not gonna even consider taking on a distributor job - the pool takes up plenty of time and I'm happy just to do that

Though funnily enough I am trying to get into the top 15 miners on the pool at the moment ... hopefully ... but you don't really need a lot of miners at the moment to get into the top 15
I've still not found a block in the 3 and a bit years the pool has been running, though I mine rather randomly (not much at all) lately.
My BDR is still just under 0.8 - damn I wanna be on the Acclaim list

[Trippank]

As of now, I am Number 100!  Just added my Jan 21, S9 that just got delivered.  Still ramping up for the last S9 added last week.  Cant wait until fully ramped!

Mine on and hit some blocks!

Is there a way to see my miners production beyond the last 695 Shifts?

[kano]

Is there a way to see my miners production beyond the last 695 Shifts?

Roughly - by the rewards page
Each reward shows the details for the 5Nd before it and the time length of the 5Nd.
Of course they do overlap.

[kano]

There was a failover at 03:39 UTC on the LA half of the Stratum node.
It was a network disconnect but didn't reconnect until 5 minutes later.
All miners connected to the LA node will have failed over to their 2nd pool setting but will be failing back now.

S9's are up for like $2300 on Bitmain right now.  March 1-10 shipping.
