Usually after someone starts talking about chicken or pool restarts, a block is hit. Does it work??? Who knows, but it's some thing to talk about... LOL

Usually the talk doesn't start until a block is getting long in the solve, in which case the pool is due to solve one anyway.  Doesn't hurt to talk about it, but I think it's more a case of correlation rather than causation. 

So someone get a chicken to restart the pool already!

Haha if a reset would let us solve a block quick when we're over 100% diff, this would mean we'd have something like 150% permanent luck because we don't do anything when we get fast blocks ^_^"

Its funny to watch thedreamer dream, whoever.

Stop trolling will ya?

Restarts have been very good for the past 5 or 6 months. When there are no restarts the blocks get long in the teeth..

You seem to enjoy the long blocks. Be positive or go mine on eligius. Lol

But it makes me so happy when we solve a block, and I like to be happy as much as I can!

There's a name for this in psychology, where you associate one action with another and draw a connection between them.  I forget what it is called or the specifics of it, but I remember one point of discussion was that while one tends to notice that (it appears) if A happens then B happens, the human brain is very good at keeping track of this.  For example, "Every time I drive down street X all the traffic lights are red."  What the human brain doesn't keep track of, however, is all the times that A did not happen, but B happened any way.  In reality you drive down street X all the time and the lights are green, but your brain only makes a point of when they are red.

It would be interesting to see how many blocks are solved immediately following a restart vs. no restart.  Of course there's no causation here, but it would still be interesting to see the numbers just for the sake of discussion.

Or maybe it's not the restart that appears to affect the pool, maybe it's just Kano posting that he restarted the pool that does it...  

[thedreamer]

Dunno the exact numbers but when they were being restarted for whatever reason we were solving blocks more often. Less restarts lately, long blocks.

Last weeks' 3 in a row was either an anomaly or there were restarts involved.

That's correct. Its a mental perception Fallacy. In fact, only if there is an issue with the pool every time and restarting solve it, then would there actually be a raise in odds of finding a block. We found hundreds of blocks. Did we need a restart to find them? No.

Meanwhile we noticed that a couples of time, when we got a restart, a block happened! We didn't make the assumption that "we didn't restart and we got a block, so restart are bad" so why would you do the opposite?

Its just so happen that the odds of finding a block at any time is reasonably high, thus its bound to happen shortly after restarts, just normal odds.

Understanding this does not make me a troll, i'm just objectively observing the pool's performance and we're above average, whereas we would be under average if there was a problem with the pool that was only fixed by repeatedly restarting, since Kano has NOT been restarting on demand.

Let's treat it like were at a concert that's running late... all together now...


[stomps feet]

Block!   Block!    Block!     Block!

Awesome 2 blocks there by Kilo17 with ~70THs

[innerchaos]

Holy shit

[Jake36]

Dam, that was some hot chicken  tried a new habanero sauce in the buffalo mix!

[kilo17]

 

I wish I was that lucky when I mine on the solo pool -

[mavericklm]

[elduderino]

Nice getting that quick block right after the long block... It was almost like getting a 2fer.

Wow. Nice job, Kilo!

[thedreamer]

Niiice...... *Borat voice*

That is AWESOME SAUCE for sure. I mean back to back is always sweet. I hope we can hit another one some one eat some chicken salad and reset the pool rofl. I mean what a good bounce off that long block and a good night for the pool!!!!

So I made enough BTC this week to buy another s3. But I am already runnign 3 s3's. Think I should just keep saving and buy something bigger?

[Mikestang]

Oh wow, a 0.8% block, is that a record for this pool?

Someone show me the odds of the same miner solving two blocks in such quick succession, that's simply amazing.

See, it must have been all that talk about chickens and restarts that did it!

We've had 4 under 1%
That one is the 3rd best.

I switched the block limit shown on the blocks page - you can currently see all history

[xZork]

Wow, it's cool looking back to the first solved, 2nd being an orphan, what a start to what turns out to be the best pool ever! I remember 141-146... I was freaking out that night lol.   A lot of good memories here at kano.is
