Yep looking at it from a 1TH view, it often slips under a true 1tH.
So the 800GH kills two birds with one stone.....takes care of a 1TH slipping and includes folks with a couple S3's.

Simple version - whoever finds the next block ... but you have to be more than 800GHs and less than 50THs Long version with all the details, read the opening post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.0 |

Kano has answered that: The winner will be the next person who finds a block, with a single mining account or mining address with between 800GHs and 50THs, between now and the 110th valid pool block - i.e. the next 26 valid blocks.
If no one in the 800GHs to 50THs hash range finds a block by the 110th valid block, then instead, the last person, in that hash range 800GHs to 50THs, who submits the last valid share before valid block 110 is found, will be the winner.
Basically the next person that has a hash rate between 800 GH and 50 TH that finds a block. |

You can mine with an address, but you need to be able to sign a message with it. If you mine to an address, you'll need to sign a message with the winning address, to identify who is the contact to claim the prize.

Hey kano, Just wanted to stop by and wish you well with your promotion. You and Con have done a great service to the community by providing both great mining software and more recently your mining pool. To everyone who is mining here, best of luck on winning the SP20! Don't have to worry about me... my miners are still all hooked into my p2pool node and I'm traveling for work without remote access to change them  |
Jonny's Pool - Mine with us and help us grow! Support a pool that supports Bitcoin, not a hardware manufacturer's pockets! No SPV cheats. No empty blocks.

Any block found by someone on this pool is a good one.  |

Will being off-pool for about 2-1/2 hours yesterday mess up my shares and payouts and make me start over on the 500%?
Just wondering....or is it the block drought we've had since yesterday?

It will be a little dip, but you won't start over. PPLNS making little outages like that less painful. M |
I mine at Kano's Pool because it pays the best and is completely transparent! Come join me! |

How shares get paid https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg10118444#msg10118444How much you are paid also depends directly on block finding. So, yes over time that should average out OK, but over the short term, it will go up and down. But seriously, there is no "block drought" The only thing we are having is a "bad luck drought"  The expected average per block on the web site is of course 100% expected shares (black) Green (less than 100%) is better than average expectation. Red (greater than 100%) is worse than average expectation. Taking twice as long (Red 200%) should happen regularly - to be specific, the CDF expectation of > 200% difficulty, is that about 13% of blocks should be longer than 200% ... |

Basically the next person that has a hash rate between 800 GH and 50 TH that finds a block.
Is there one or more SP20 to be won? |

Sorry... poor choice of words....I really meant luck.
Always amazed me how it can take a long time to solve and hit a block or sometimes like yesterday ,
they come in like BAM! Right one another.
Just was wondering how long you have to be out before the system thinks you're a "hopper"

Well, the system doesn't actually penalise you directly in any way. Each share gets paid in each block found in the 5N (500% network diff) after the share. The only thing that can really penalise you is pool luck. ... and pool luck is unknown so you can't predict it. e.g. if you quit mining 500% before we had a run of low diff% blocks, then you made a mistake doing that On the other hand, if you quit mining, 500% before the start of a bright red 500% block (which we've not hit any 500% yet) then that would be quite to your advantage. |

Howdy folks. I went through a lot of this thread and I didn't see this answered: when are payments sent out? Is it after a block is fully matured or does it just take X number of confirmations? Just curious because it looks like payments for the last block from 1-12 and the newest one from 1-13 have not gone out yet. I'm certainly not questioning Kano or Con as they are stand up guys, I'm just wondering so I know when to expect it. Thanks! |
