KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2437 blocks

So every pool so far is either ignoring this transaction or is mining empty blocks? (not that they would include this transaction anyway). So looks like we need to confirm our own transaction.... come on pool

Or could other things be influencing this that are either normal or occasionally happen (i.e. backlog)?

Kano would a test payment to/from the pool address and a private address confirm any suspicions? I am sure you know how to prove this on your own, I am just curious to know if this would be a way to prove some pools are playing dirty.

It's still out there waiting.  Wheeeee.  We'll see it someday   Maybe before we hit the next block!!

Who cares of this proof? Yes, they ignoring Kano's transaction and so what?  You will post it on forum and they fix this immediately? I do not think so.  Just we need to be patient and it will be confirmed anyway.

I wasn't looking for proof, I was just more curious to know if that would identify that address is being blocked. I guess I should of asked, are the pools specifically blocking transactions from 1N6LrEDiHuFwS....? or is there something else being done?

If it is just as simple as blocking that address, can pools have a new address for each newly found coins? or is there more to it like pool/relay IP's?

Thanks.

I'm unaware of any settings you can configure to allow you to block transactions from specific BTC addresses.  Even *if* one pool decided it wanted nothing to do with kano and figured out a way to block transactions from him, there are plenty of other pools out there mining blocks who would be happy to include it.

Put away the tin foil hats, kids .

Ok thanks for clarifying. I have no idea what is/isn't possible. But I always take the assumption anything is possible, you just need to know how.

Looks like some DOS attacks going on specifically blockchain.info (and probably antpool). I could understand why some might DOS a pool (for greed, extortion, rivalry etc...) but why attack blockchain?

EDIT: taken off my hat now, head is cold...  

[jonnybravo0311]

Well, blockchain.info does more than provide information about blocks... it's also an online wallet service.  So, I can understand the logic behind throwing a DDoS at them for that reason.

AntPool has been under attack for a while now.

I Got 2 controllers, so can point them at 2 different places where ever you want them. They Are just turned OFF atm..

Just use ckproxy.  That was suggested to me since I can't use CGminer.

ah, thanks. I just always used it for exploring the blockchain.

http://www.coindesk.com/blacklist-debate-ok-meddle-bitcoins-code/
The version of bitcoind (the official reference client for interacting with the bitcoin network) distributed with Gentoo was blocking particular bitcoin addresses, said the report, meaning that transactions with them wouldn’t work.

The posting showed Gentoo output blocking a transaction with a SatoshiDice address, which had been blacklisted.

Dashjr had written a patch for Gentoo’s version of bitcoind that specifically blacklisted bitcoin addresses used by several sites, the majority of which were gambling sites: SatoshiDice, BitcoinDice, Satoshibones, and Luckybit. It also blocked addresses operated by Mastercoin, and Counterparty. And the address discussed here as a spam attack on the network was also in the blacklist.

That Works?

Sure, you can alter the client code to block addresses, but you can't just throw some addresses in a configuration file.  As you've quoted, it was towards a specific release (Gentoo) and required changes to the underlying core code.  I agree that somebody, if motivated enough, could in fact change the code to block kano's address; however, there are a whole lot of somebodies that would have to do the same thing to have a noticeable effect.

It might.  What I did when I had tubes mining is use a uart adapter and a custom version of cgminer.  I think there was talk of a r-pi image created by "crazyguy" back

when he sold tubes.

It is quite easy to make patch for such filtering and recompile bitcoind, a few hours max. Especially after recent 'dirty' mining talks here, kind of revenge..

[o_solo_miner]

possible yes, but an abuse of bitcoind !
I don't think they will do it in that way.

I presume it would be just as easy to make a patch that would block all known SPV addresses?

Just wondering.......

[jonnybravo0311]

Sure... you could certainly build a patch to exclude transactions from any address you wanted... you could also setup firewall rules to block any traffic from known IP addresses.  This would have the effect of denying known dead pool miners from connecting to you, and you'd never allow a transaction from those pools to be included in your pool's work.

Hi guys,

Under "Rewards", what does "Your N Avg" mean ?  

I ask because I only have 1 rig on the pool- averaging about 1.19 THS. However, my "N Avg" was only 581 GHS and 409 GHS for the last 2 blocks.

Your average hash rate over the "N Range" reward range.
So if you only mined for 1/2 of "N Range" then your average hash rate would be 1/2

Note also: that is a calculation not a cause
i.e. your shares determine your reward

Thx. Guess i need to check if this rig has some issues.

My rig seems to be mining ok. Here's it's hash rate from the "Shifts" when the last block was found: http://prntscr.com/9czhww

Here's its N Avg on the "Rewards" screen for the same block: http://prntscr.com/9czicm

I'm just trying to understand how it's N avg on the Rewards screen was a lot lower than the actual Hash Rate showing on the Shifts screen. Am I missing something regarding the calculation for N Avg?

Have you being mining here for 4.5 days?   If not it is an average over the 5N not just current.

ALSO, newbies to this pool...   when starting out going over 100% luck is actually a good thing for you....  THEN hope the pool hits the lucky blocks and you reap more of the benefits.   

In summary...  if this is all too complicated for you to understand , setup your miners and go away for 5 days, then evaluate current rewards verse what you got from the BS Chinese pools before.

Patch or firewall is not a problem, but for example Kano pool is 1.5+ % of total hashrate but F2pool and Antpool is 50% total, this will be not effective at all. It will not hurt giants pool in any noticeable  way... They do not care if Kano's pool or any other small pool include their transactions or not.
