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

[dkaufman]

I unleashed another 100TH at the pool for about the next 20 hours or so.

Last time I tried this ya didn't hit a block for the next 4 days!

Hoping I will not bring such dark magic to the realm this week :-)

I am groot!  I mean gigawatt :-)

thanks,

Oh, and I swear to Gaea I will -- Never. Ever. understand PPLNS, or any other pool payout scheme for that matter.  That 100TH rental I ran last week pretty much fell flat on its face.  About $250 basically down the drain, right?  So I'd completely written it off of course, and chalked it up to Just Real Bad Luck.

And then today I see that I got 3 payouts, about $125 totally unexpected from CKpool.  

Huh?

That's why ya gotta use a pool where you trust the operators, eh? :-)

I was just looking at the blocks page and canaan.dq6 is one hell of a lucky worker/cluster of miners.

Heh, don't forget he had between 1PH and 2PH for those blocks

As I thought I understood it the "name" of who solved the block was a worker ID which could be one miner or many tied to the same worker ID? Regardless of the farm size say 10 miners of 1 TH each all having unique worker IDs the one finding the block would be displayed as user X.workerX (X_workerX) that found the block.  I just noticed a shit ton of the sought after nuclear green next to canaan.dq6 in the last 99 blocks.

It's pretty much up to the miner, they could choose to point everything they have to a single worker or break it down into individual sub..... for the most part, those with multiple Th/s mining machines usually will sub name with something that makes sense to them, while naming different machines so they know which specific ones hit the block.

@dkaufman does this help a bit to understand.

@ xZork  : my first reward was 0.0319xxx my next reward was 0.0344xxx

Later I will show the third and fourth payments.


 So if you look at the chart  I  have 98 shifts of rentals. 4 or 5 are the 100th the rest are 10th

those 2 payments came  for the 7th shift and 12th shift from the bottom.

just after the 100th ended.

the photo belows shows 98 shifts of rentals.

due to the 2ph we have right now   the oldest one on the bottom is still paying money when blocks hit.

2p is around 123 hours.  99 shifts is about 66 hours.    So all my hash is still counted… Those 100th are good for at least 50 hours .  So more blocks pleaseee!

Did a ckdb restart (no mining affected) to add in a few changes.
The obvious one would be I've set the shift page to show 199 instead of 99.
That's no longer a constant (i.e. I can change it using the system and user settings in ckdb)

thanks it is a lot easier to track the 500% n

Thank you "K"

so far my 3 block payments have been
 
0.0689xxx--------------  (1 shift of 4.5th) + (5 shifts of 100th) + (59 shifts of 10th)
0.0344xxx--------------  (1 shift of 4.5th) + (5 shifts of 100th) + (7   shifts of 10th)
0.0319xxx--------------  (1 shift of 4.5th) + (5 shifts of 100th) + (2   shifts of 10th)

So you can see the 100th moves downwards but keeps its earning power for a long time.

The 199 blocks makes it easy to track the 5n

 2pn and 5n are close to 120 hours

at 45 minutes a shift that is 160 shifts
at 40 minutes a shift that is  180 shifts

So the early 100th has 160 to 180 of earning shifts

Thanks Kano!

I am loving the additions.

IT is so nice to see those short blocks popping after the long ones. I think that 80 hour one is the longest I have seen here and then seeing the Pool hash drop like a rock followed up by block popping galore, man, makes me happy I listen to the people saying just to kick back and wait.

By the way, any plans for another contest? I like to follow those and see the outcomes on this pool.

Anyone who rents with westhash, have you seen this before:



edit: NM, it cleared up after 15 minutes or so.

So with the additional shift changes and such, can someone point me to some reading on what exactly these 'shifts' are?  I'm guessing they have to do with rented hashrate, but that's still just a guess.

Nope, nothing to do with rental - it's a pool, no rental code in it (yet)

Shifts are groupings of work into larger units used for payout calculations.
They were originally ~30s but they are now summarised (in groups of 100x~30s or stopping at a pool block) to now be around 40-50min each.
As you can see on the shifts pages, that also makes it a manageable amount of data to report on and graph.

Or one of the posts about it:

Thanks for the link.  It makes sense now.  I read that originally, but didn't think it applied to me at the time.

edit: NM, it cleared up after 15 minutes or so.

Is it still stable?

Westhash and Nicehash orders keep getting canceled after a half hour or so when I point them at Slush's pool.  I've been forced to only use CKPool for my rentals :-(

I had the pool "verificator" tell me the diff was too low.  After several tests it may say it is ok, but usually it reports that slush's pool is "incompatible" and occasionally that it is having connection problems.

If anyone wants to investigate, this Pool verificator can be found on the new order page only, an is only available to logged in users, but registration is free and you dont need to fund the account to get to the that page.

I'd love to know why Westhash + Nicehash can't mine at Slush's pool for me!

Because they know slush's pool is bad to mine on :p

No, in all seriousness its been fine.  I changed my order a bit, but in two and a half days its been solid. 

[xZork]

I'm not 100% on this, but I think it is an issue with autodiff on the pool. Well not the pool, it adjusts as necessary but Nicehash/Westhash require a minimum difficulty of 125 I think. So if your order is being out bid and you hashrate is dropping the pool will adjust the difficulty lower and if it is lower than their requirement I am guessing it will error out your order as you are seeing. Not sure really.

[sorry2xs]

nh and wh have issues so i went tominingrigrentals.com problem solved + it allows multiple backup pools tha nh and wh don't have any back up options, ding ding ding bells!!!

[Mikestang]

Thanks for the recent updates and upgrades, really digging this pool even more now.  Hitting a few blocks always helps, too.  Just picked up an S3+ that will also be pointed here as soon as it arrives.

[philipma1957]
