I dont quite understand everything yet but do you get more than 0.12btc for mining for 7 days .i stuck it out on this pool just trying to understand the payments i had like 1,623.567 shares and i just now received a 0.12 btc reward i had 12 s5 miners running for this block thanks i know this is off topic.

You picked a bad 7 days to start mining at this pool. Had you been here the previous 7 days, the same 12 S5 miners wouldve made you close to 2 BTC.

We have had comparatively bad luck for the last 7 days, but as you can see on this page http://kano.is/index.php?k=pblocks we have had an all time luck of over 100%.

Diving a little deeper... If you're making 100%, then you should put your total hash rate (12 S5s should be around 13200 GH/s) into the calculator at https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty and it will tell you how much you can expect to receive at 100%/100% difficulty.

Note that higher luck corresponds to lower difficulty (and here I'm referring to difficulty of solving the block, not network difficulty).

Good luck in the past is not an indicator of good luck in the future. In my opinion though, this pool has a few advantages that make it worth mining on. The operators actively monitor and improve the pool where possible. The operators are respected members of the community. The fees are low. The payout system is fair.

I'm always amazed at how biased people's understanding truly is.  A pool goes for a week without finding a block and things must be wrong with the pool itself.  Yet, when the pool finds many more blocks than it should, nobody's yelling that something is wrong with the pool.

I'm not some noob that doesn't understand how luck affects a mining pool. I've been mining for 3 years and have had all kinds of experiences, good and bad. I went through the whole block stealing episode on BTCguild. But this is so extremely bad, it's quite alarming. I can't help but feel that there is something wrong.

You've gone and proven my point.  Statistics, as kano has clearly shown, provide all the evidence needed to understand that it is absolutely expected that at some point in time this pool, and every other pool, will encounter 500%, 600%, 700%, etc.  That absolutely in no way means there is something wrong with the pool.

By the way, looks like the pool found a block a few hours ago.

I'm new to this pool, but the way I understand it is that after a block is found and has matured after 101 confirmations then payments are made for that block.

So my question is how did he already received a payment for the last block?

Am I missing something?

Also, is there any way to find out which address found the block?

Thanks

Kano always posts in this thread when he makes payments.  He hasn't posted yet.

Thanks for the reply.

I guess what I meant by which address found it, was which user/btc address submitted the winning share.

Bitcoin addresses don't submit shares.

On this pool you can use your Bitcoin address as a worker name but that is a different thing altogether.

No problem, was hoping there was a way to tell but no worries.

Thanks for answering so quickly

I think I know what you are getting at. If you look @ https://www.kano.is/index.php?k=blocks, it gives you the named miner.

For some reason I can't seem to find it on that page.

Edit: heh someone commented that the hash rate dropped but deleted their post, this was my comment about that:
Well, at least it meant that the long block elapsed time was shorter than if the pool has been at the current rate for the whole 666.666%
... and yes at 3 decimal places it is indeed 666.666%

Regarding the payout process:
The Account->Rewards web page, that account miners can see, shows soon after the block, what the reward will be when the payout is sent.
The actual payout is done after 101 confirms - I added a comment about that to the bottom of the Help->Payouts web page not long ago.

It's the one at the top ... that says 666.67% ... ?

Edit: oh, if you don't login, you won't see who mined it.

Oppss, sorry that was me that deleted the post. I didn't think it was important enough to leave in the thread. Just an observation. I apologize!!

Ahh, now I see, I was mining without being a registered user.

Now I can see it.

Thanks

... and one of the top two miners who added multiple PHs hashes on to that evil 666.666% block just found us a block 25 minutes ago

[CapnBDL]

Quick question; has anyone tried to change the default setting for 'temperature' in the updated s3 software? Mine appears to stay at default 'true'. Please let me know. Thx!

I'll check it later (haven't got time at the moment)
It's something I've never turned off since ... well ... if it ever hits 80C internally you really don't want it to keep mining ...

So the top bar of the stats say 1,748 Th, but when I look at the pool stats page, just the top 5 miners make up over 2.5Ph. Which on is correct? Seems like one of those is off. I have actually seen this case several times where the pool stats on the top 5-10 miners are much higher then whats reported as current pool hash on the header bar at the top.

Different rolling time frame. They're all accurate in their own way. Kano can elaborate when he has time.
