so if I'm pointed at stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333 what do I ping too? (patience is appreciated here)

stratum.kano.is port 8080 (or 80) with a TCPing program though I'm not sure what programs are best to use on windows

In reference to the whole Flush, oops, Slush debacle:

The only reason that Pool got sooo big, ultimately, is Familiarity. Far too many people buy equipment, THEN research what
pool to join. They do a google search, and quickly identify Slush as " The World's First Bitcoin Mining Pool". Instantaneously
they think, it has to be the best because, it's the first, and it's soo big. Slush must be Trustworthy.

After joining, the user is mesmerized by the sleek gui, and the instant gratification of a daily payout, which every online
calculator makes them believe they must get. Most feel a sense of false security watching the blocks being found, one after
another, not ever understanding or learning what really happens "behind the scenes" of that slick gui. To them, everything
is simply "plug and play" and Slush is on call running the "boards".

It's at that point of blissful ignorance, that they are actually being taken advantage of, by a Corporate Committee. The users
don't realize, Slush, is comparable to The Wizard of Oz. Sure, he did start a Cooperative Mining effort, and began laying the
foundation for Pools, but he took the money and run, so to say. The reigns were handed over to a Committee. Slush went on
to other areas, and focused his time on Hardware Wallets. He just gets Royalties for "his" name at this point. That Committee
completely controls the pool, from behind the curtain of Slush's namesake.

Meanwhile, at Slushpool, the Committee focused on Growth. That's where things like Mass advertising, and a slick gui paid
off in spades. Imagine if you will, how much money that Committee earns, from that 2% fee. That's surely going to motivate
them, to keep the users coming to them. They completely understand, how advertising to the "instant gratification" miner
works. That's why Slush is now advertised as "The World's First Bitcoin Mining Pool to Support Asicboost". They worked
very closely with Halongmining, and their Marketing team, to ensure Slush would get the Lion's Share of DragonMint users.
Hell, Halongmining doesn't even advertise for the pool they test their equipment on, and that pool operator wrote their software.
They know users are Familiar with the name--Slush. They can appear to be Trustworthy to consumers, if Slush vouched for them.
It's a Corporate Win/Win that made Millions of dollars.

All the while, users see the pool plow through blocks, and they get their daily payouts. However, are they getting their fair share???
Do they even notice, or suspect any foul play??? Do any of them question how Trustful, the "World's First" is??? Probably not, and
that Corporate Committee understands that, as long as the user is receiving, what the online calculator tells them they SHOULD
earn, nobody will bat an eye. Most of their users have very little knowledge, of what their equipment ACTUALLY does. They just
buy it, hook it up, add Flush as their pool of choice and BOOM!!! They're the owner of a Magical Money Machine, just like the one
they read about online.

Ignorance is Bliss!!!

I think the main reason why big pools are getting bigger is that they are big.

And they once got big because they were the first ones - simple.

People (I know a few) are looking what pool to join, and people like frequent and "safe" payouts - so if anyone is mining at slush, they do too (because they feel safe).

Just have join to kano pool with  6pcs of S9. Was long time think where to go, to p2pool, ckpool, or kano.. Decide to kano, as its seems like a p2pool system, but little lees fees. Hope here is good  profit Many profit to all miners!

Well the fee here is 0.9% as it says - always has been that low fee except when it has been lower

We have a lot of miners of different sizes - small to large - all pay that same 0.9% fee - even the top miners on the pool.
This pool has the fairest PPLNS payout system of all non PPS pools - and of course a lower fee than all the PPS pools.

Every TH and every 85TH helps - welcome aboard

Many thanks! I also send one of S9 to solo )))) hope to my lucky

Agreed. May have another 7 - S9 coming. Just trying to increase my power to accommodate it all lol

That is quite the challenge for the home miner...hang in there!

Yes home miner but I converted garage into server room and had seperate 200amp service brought in. Just trying to upgrade to 400amp service. If it boils down to it I can run them in the house since I have 220 in my basement

Edit: converted second garage not my attached. Too much heat to have attached to house 😂

I've power enough in my shop to run a few miners. No direct Internet connection but there is a wifi hotspot my laptop/netbook can access. What I'm stuck on it how to add a switch or router to connect a couple miners.

One important point to check is the network times.

I just put in a pair of ubiquti airmax powerbeam-ac (https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/powerbeam-ac-gen2/) between my house and a shed.  It is rated for 24km of distance, so my 300 meters is nothing for it.  ping times are pretty much the same in the shed as in my house.  Something to consider if you have $120 to spend per dish.

The PowerBeam AC is an excellent product, I use the same for my server room which is about 400 ft. from my house. Ubiquiti also has few cheaper alternatives to this like the NanoBeam AC or the NanoStation AC

Hi MrRoach Sir i was almost in same situation almost 2 months ago. I bought (TP-LINK Archer MR200 AC750) what it does is change any wifi to wired internet i had wifi in the shop but i wasn't sure so i bought a sim card with 1 year worth of internet the sim card and router from ebay total cost 80£ if that sounds ok to you it's the easiest way i know. The router is very very easy to use there is even an app if you want i promise any one can use it since i did  .

I know there are far more tech savvy people here but if you a simple solution that works well i know this works if you have any question i would love to answer.

Yep!!! That's what my tin-foil hat rant is all about. When people first start out, they assume that if everyone else is there,
it must be good. More than likely, half of that pool, is people just "following along" because, they just don't do the research.
Familiarity, is what gets the initial thought of joining the "big" Corporate pools, and that false sense of security is the push to
join. What keeps them there, is the instant gratification of daily payouts. Smaller, daily payouts.

I find it awfully ironic, that many Bitcoin Miners, personally choose to stay away from companies like Apple and Microsoft,
because they dislike the Corporate shenanigans those companies are known for, so they often choose open source like Linux.
Then they go and devote their shares into a Corporate Pool, and Trust they are being taken care of.

Personally, I did months of reading, analyzing, and comparisons. Just not equipment, but more importantly, what pool to join.
Here I Am, Rockin Like a Hurricane!!! Go Kano Pool, or Go Home!!!

[rifleman74]

When others first start out, they see the (at the time) daily payouts and were happy as a clam.  Only when one did a lot of research did they find out how much more they could make a pool like kano's vs slush.

It's not rocket science, it's not even dutch oven science!

BTCMINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!BTC

[MrRoach Sir]

Hmmmmm, .Worker9 says it found three blocks?

[BSGMiner]

Hmmmmm, .Worker9 says it found three blocks?

If the max share isn't as high as it needs to be for BTC, then it may have been for some altcoin from the previous owner of your miners.

[MrRoach Sir]

Doubt it, did a hard reset on all of em when I got em.  How do I figure my "share"?

[kano]

Related to what was mentioned before:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg40522112#msg40522112
your miner firmware is either faulty, is also mining altcoins, or is being hacked by someone who has network access to it.

As mentioned above, and on the Help->Payouts page, the bitcoind difficulty is currently 5,363,678,461,481.357
Your best share (shown on the status page of the miner) would have to actually be above that to find a bitcoin block.

If you are pointing your miner somewhere else other than directly at a kano.is pool node, then that's what happens.
If you are only pointing it directly at kano.is then there is the possibility the miner is hacked if the firmware isn't faulty.

[MrRoach Sir]

I'm thinking firmware then as I've no neighbors close and the home miner are running har wired to the router. Have not enabled outside access to the router either.
