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

Just starting mining here on kano.is been good so far! Thanks

Love the API access, I've been busy creating an Android app for mining stats. Probably release it on the Play store shortly.

It's live!

So far it only works if you registered your username on kano.is as a BTC address, I'll add more features if you guys ask.
No ad's or anything, cause I don't put stuff in my apps that I don't want to see myself.

Well That's actually not the API.
Also be aware that the hash rate stats only change once per minute so any polling more than that is pointless

Right, just that JSON endpoint

I made it poll every 10 seconds, probably will change it to 30 seconds minimum, and user set their own polling rate in the long run.

Also, do you have any plans on adding more endpoints to get info on Block Discovery and all the stats that you display on http://www.kano.is/index.php?k=pblocks

Um - is there much point to polling twice as often as it updates?
The hash rate even after 1hr on any pool isn't very accurate.
It's simply people want to see a number, the value is pretty inaccurate.
The only reason it's updated every 1 minute here is coz people connect and want to see their hash rate when they connect ... 10 minutes seems to be too long for most people to wait.
In reality, the current pool settings I run, it's actually a waste of the server resources having it update it every minute.
If that ever becomes a bottle neck (if the pool grew very much larger) that would be one of the things changed to slower, since it really doesn't matter.

Re: pblocks - no use the API - it's already got plenty of information.

Hey no problem! I understand the issue with polling the server too much especially with the increase in users. I was surprised to see you even had a 1m hash rate, most other places stick with 5. With your input I may remove the last1m hash entirely from the app and just use the 5m. Thanks for the info

I'm still relatively new to the bitcoin community, and am always willing to learn more.


Always appreciate the input

Awwww...  the joys of Centurylink DSL service.... Hope to have my miner back here before long but am having a language barrier with a guy in India...

[IYFTech]

Killer block 

Still, we were due for a long one I suppose.......

[jeffy1021]

My other miner on Slush has been hitting tons of blocks, go figure... 

I suppose when things cool down on Slush, we'll be hitting lots of blocks here!

[DevonMiner]

Still, we were due for a long one I suppose.......

Yep, 164% luck on the last 10 blocks  (117% luck on the last 25  ) - 106% overall ... looks like the pool speed might have dipped a bit ... luck hoppers moving on. Stay on 'dig-in' mode all things will average out.

I struggle with how much of my limited hash to send here and earn me something almost daily, and how much to keep solo mining, hoping for the big 25 btc win.

I'm leaving my door open (it's 4C here), and cranking my sp20 till we crack this one

I've updated the app!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jjkuo.dev.ckpoolstatus

After receiving feedback from kano himself, I've set the default polling rate to 10m. You can set it as low a 5m, or as high as you want.

CKPool Status

Features:

• Checks your hashrate from http://www.kano.is/address.php?a=[BTC Address]
• Notification if your 1hr hash rate drops below threshold.
• Change polling rate. (5m lowest)

Also I just signed up to an account (not sure why I haven't already). I'll be adding actual API access so you can access more info.

No luck hopping here, but my 6T rig was renting out to WestHash earlier today.  It just fully returned to this pool about an hour ago.  With my current settings WH has to exceed 25% above expected BTC for my whole rig to switch over like it did today (which is very rare).  I noticed the pool hash rate jumped up since I returned, so I wonder if others were doing the same and affecting the hash rate here.

How do you automate that?

Password for the WH or NH were P=0.0XXX

Awesome! Thanks!

Are there any iOS apps that will work with the pools API?

No luck hopping here, but my 6T rig was renting out to WestHash earlier today.  It just fully returned to this pool about an hour ago.  With my current settings WH has to exceed 25% above expected BTC for my whole rig to switch over like it did today (which is very rare).  I noticed the pool hash rate jumped up since I returned, so I wonder if others were doing the same and affecting the hash rate here.

Well you can now see some historical pool performance and where the hopping happened
The Pool->Graph is the actual shift reward performance (like the worker shift graph)
What this means is that it shows the amount of shares that were accepted per shift (again like the worker shift graph)
Although we have the ckpool performance numbers that better estimate the actual miner performance, the graphs report the reward performance since that is what is used for payouts.

Edit: oh and it uses the same checkbox settings for both the worker and the pool graph.
So changing one changes it for both.

Yea, I've noticed about 600TH coming/going the last couple of days.  So some rigs are definitely moving around.

I've updated the app!

Cool, looks really good.

Hi

I'm mining at night only and 8 hours per day. My electricity cost at night is half of daytime.
Can I expect I would mine 1/3 bitcoins of non stop mining on this pool?

Hi

Yes (average expected payout)
Of course luck plays a major part in each single payout, but over time the reward for mining 8 hours a day would expect to average at 1/3 of mining for 24 hours a day.

Edit: In more detail: your shares disappear off the reward list a bit after 500% after you submit them - which at the moment is around 153hrs
it doesn't matter about stop/starting - it's simply that each share will be rewarded in each block found in the ~500% after it.
The value of each share is the same for everyone when the block is found - in proportion to it's difficulty of course.

I see. Thanks

pretend the time is 144 hours for 500% not 153 hours
so:
in the next 6 days   = 144 hours

 the poster gets ⅓ or 2 days or 48 hours. 

lets say the poster  used 30th  ⅓ = 10th average at the 6 day point   10th miner hash /1900th pool hash =

1 /190  so miner grabs 1/190 x 24.7btc  = or about 0.13 btc  if poster ran the gear 24/7 he or she gets 3x that.


Of course averages aside if the pool:

 does a lot of blocks  = yeh

does very few blocks = meh

does no blocks         = bah
