Tried setting 2FA up using Authy and kept getting invalid code. Anyone get Authy to work?

As far as I understand ... Authy wont accept the "algorithm=SHA256"
i.e. it probably only works with the old SHA1

The other 2 app work fine.
You can see the info the qrcode is sending to your device if you see what the "Click here" link says
(or of course decode the qrcode itself with a separate qrcode reader)

The link/qrcode is:
otpauth://totp/Kano:Kano?secret=zzzz&algorithm=SHA256&issuer=Kano

Where zzzz will of course be your "Secret Key" shown above on the page.

hmm it says on authy's site they use 256 instead of 128...
maybe its a bug. i do like the authy app because it has an option to save your keys so if you lose your phone you can restore them.. google authenticator doesnt have this option.

Well that's the command I send that works fine with the other 2 apps.

But in the case of the 2 apps I suggest, you only need to know the Key and save that somewhere.
You can manually put it into both apps.

That's why it says

WARNING: if you lose your 2FA device you will need to know
the 2FA Secret Key to manually setup a new device,
so your should copy it and store it somewhere securely.
For security reasons, the site will not show you an active 2FA Secret Key.

Of note - if you didn't save the key when enabling 2FA  you can remove 2FA and just re-enable it.  When you do you'll need to set it up again and a new key will be generated for you.  Make sure to take note of it and hide it in a safe place

Thanks for the response,
Well thats great, kinda makes me think well whats the point then...
only benefit I can see would be the difficulty lowering but then the large pools are in a far better financial position to carry on mining so the individual miners would probably drop out before anyone else.

Every 210,000 blocks the reward halves. To be specific, block 209,999 was 50 BTC base reward, 210,000 was 25 BTC base reward.
At 10min per block that's roughly 4 years.
Of course over most of bitcoin history the difficulty has risen, so it's less than 4 years.
420,000 will be 12.5 BTC base reward, 630,000 will be 6.25 BTC etc ...

That's what we needed...a 2 block day!  Okay, it's 2 blocks a day through the end of December...let's kick those miners into high gear!

So just curious why shift 5pgyh paru shows a PPS of 110.05%, paid 6 blocks while shift 5ptq5 darkchii also paid 6 blocks shows PPS 104.00%? Is it because of the recent diff change?

Hehe I was just starting to question why he has close to 1PH and so few blocks found.  I take it all back!

Well the exact cause, which is what you are suggesting, is that the rewards to "5pgyh paru" were more from before the diff change than "5ptq5 darkchii"s

Firstly an aside comment
"5ptq3 charlotte" is displayed wrong and I've fixed that in git (but I wont be doing a ckdb restart until I finish the current change I'm working on)
Fix: https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool/commits/e6469e64c4f56c8c22e91c6e9b5915b1a0b8dd6c

Now, there's two reasons why 2 of the same N Rewards can have 2 different PPS% values.

The first is that each reward is dependent upon the total block reward.
If every block was (only) 25BTC then 5 rewards would typically be 99.1% (100% - the pool fee of 0.9%) i.e. each single reward would be 19.82%
However, since the reward includes txn fees, the higher the block reward txn fees, the higher that value will be.
The table at the top of the blocks page shows that % also: "MeanTx%"

The other, as you suggested, is the % drop can be due to a diff change and also relates back to what bitwitt was carrying on about.
My explanation of that is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg13099488#msg13099488
This one shows up clearly when there's a high diff change (e.g. the last 18.1%)
Since the reward per share has dropped 18.1%, the new rewards from blocks after the diff change being distributed to shares before the diff change will be noticeably less than 20% each time.
However, since the 5Nd has increased, the older shares before the diff change have a higher chance of being rewarded extra times, with lower than 20% amounts.

Also when a diff change happens, the shift will end at the block before the diff change.
The last diff change was block 389088 ~93G (389087 was the ~79G diff)
That diff ~79G ended at the end of shift "5pywg kosaki" "Dec-18 19:53:24" UTC

Click on the button for "Your Rewards"

It is a manual one, but if you can enter your rewards for each block and your avg hashrate for that block.
Get the data from the Rewards page on Kano.is
This will let you keep track of the blocks and rewards with a calculated BTC/TH/Day.

It is a work in progress. Give it a try and let me know what your think.

Very through explanation as usual, more then i needed to know but thank you for your time and response. Now on to more important things like nailing blocks!

Well, that's definitely moving in the right direction  

>edit : really funny to see that after hoovering around for over 2 years and just tossing in a comment now and then I am still a newbie, chchch, which is kinda cool, nobody takes you serious

GG on both of them Jbravo!

Way to pop those blocks.
I'm sure you were happy to see them as well.


MR. Zach Monroe I enjoy seeing the new additions to your site. The choice to see all workers or just overall hashrate, and the addition of the reward tab. I like to pop in to your page from the road sometimes for a peek at how hard my ladies are working and it gives me a great visual representation which I screenshot on my tablet a few times over a few hours.

I use a jpg overlay and it gives me an interesting view when comparing identical models or miners from different batches but the same model like the S7s.

I really want to add some avalons to my minifarm, but I've had a hard time justifying the additional expense for less overall shares submitted. If anyone wants to sell one, or knows of someone I am definitely interested.

I have another 70 amps of service just waiting to be used.

Keep on popping those blocks fellas. I am getting back to work making CAT6 cables.
