All the latest stock Bitmain FW for S3, S4, S4+, S5, S7 works fine, nothing extra to do.

On that note ('yesterday') about finding blocks and restarting the pool.

I'll be restarting ckpool in an hour (minute hand just passed zero, next time it's back at zero)
So at 22:00 UTC ~1hr from now.

This is to update the main server ckpool to allow the new remote nodes option that -ck has been working on.
We'll update you with details of remote nodes once they are working and available, but this is the first necessary step in that process

I'll post again about 10 minutes before the ckpool restart.

Restart in 10 minutes.

Everything went smoothly and almost all the hash rate that failed over has reconnected.

I also restarted the tube nonce proxy and that shows all ok also.

Will be working on configuring/testing the remote nodes and should be posting one available very soon

This alerting function for Block discover / workers low hashrate alearting that DMwardjr shows me for Kano pool is so awesome.  

Zach, is the one to be thanked for that.  When one gets to a point where they can send him a donation for his time invested, I know he would appreciate it.  Any amount helps.  No pressure, just when one gets to a point where they can donate a little.  I know he would appreciate our generosity just as we appreciate his pool monitor.

Thanks Zach!

Thanks Zach!

Thanks guys for the Firmware info. I was not sure if there was something optimized for this pool. Since there is not and the current firmware seems to be running fine I'll leave it.
I'll move my other S5 and the U3 over tomorrow. They have finally paid for themselves. Now to start making profit before the difficulty goes through the roof.

Did something change to the pool?  My Hash rate is showing as over 40% less than what it should be.

It's much less than what it was 2hrs ago.  My Hash rate should be around 15TH give or take +/- 5%

Does Elapsed time at 4mins means the server just got rebooted?

[VRobb]

Pool just had a restart.  All your shares are there, but the db tracking gets reset when this happens...
No worries, keep calm and mine on!

We did have a pool restart.  Kano, gave us an hour notice and then a 10 minute notice before it occurred.  Do all of your workers show the pool "Alive" now?  If so, it will take up to an hour for the pool to show your full hash rate again.

Cool cool.  Thanks for the confirmation.  It's funny because I was doing some PMing about questions on Hashrate and BAMMED, after I looked and said what the?  Looks even much worst.  Good to know that there was a reboot and this is expected.  I was guessing that based on elapsed time but wasn't certain.

[ It's funny because I was doing some PMing about questions on Hashrate and BAMMED, after I looked and said what the? 

Nothing funny actually.. It might be good idea to read before write, restarts happens several times a week/month. Everything announced in this topic.

Elapsed time at Workers page is time after previous network block found and this is not linked with any restarts.

New to Kano.is. Jumping ship from Apool with a couple S5's and a u3.
I have one running now on Kano as a test and am using cGminer 4.8.0 that is from Bitmain. Question. Is there a better firmware to be running on S5's while on kano?

thanks in advance,
Donny

I have no idea what version of cgminer is on this last firmware update by bitmaintech for the S5.  I have an S5 but it's not even hooked up.  It's just sitting on a shelf waiting for a power upgrade.  I have all S7's using what power I have available at the moment.  Maybe someone else with an S5 could tell you what version of cgminer is on the latest firmware update from bitmaintech.  Of course, if you haven't already, you can download and upgrade to the the latest firmware upgrade yourself and see what version of cgminer it has.  It can be found here:  https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=00720150101032800325X8cMcY2y068F

I have been using latest and greatest firmware for S5 from Bitmain.  It works fine for me on Kano's pool.

How long does it takes for a pool to restart.

Usually about 100 milliseconds assuming no issues on restart, some miners don't fail over at all while others might for up to 5 minutes. If you have no backup facility you'll probably be mining again in seconds.

Just for a reference, CKPool was dead on NiceHash for about 100 seconds.

Thanks

Kano has an s3  update that I recommend using if you do not already have it:

Thanks for the kind words!

Indeed, I have found Zach's pool monitor app quite useful, and a bit of a time-burglar, so I am sending a bit o' ye olde BTC to the Zach-man!

Thank You!

Here's his address:  1ZACH1xYA5dxtZcwEPgdE7SfARJiKsSA5

Sent to the address linked in his app, different but I'm sure it's going to him!

I'm sure that one works as well.  I sent a donation about 10 days ago using the one he provides in his signature in the forums.

That is the same address that is shown on the monitor, not sure what address you would have sent it to?
You mention using the address linked in the app, do you mean the android app? Because that is not mine, that is CKPool Stats by TheOneJester.
If you are using his app and appreciate it, then I am glad that you sent the donation to him! 

I believe that all of us find it useful!  I need that email notification.  Thanks ZACHM!

I'm happy that it is working good for you.

Thanks Zach!

Your Welcome!

[VRobb]

Indeed it is the android app I'm using, thanks to TheOneJester for that, btc already sent!
Now it's time for me to put on my lederhosen and do the chicken dance

For those that have been using the Reward Entry feature on http://ckpoolmonitor.zachmonroe.com/, I have an update.
You can now edit your entry if you make a mistake. 
I plan on expanding this feature more soon. I plan to make it so you can pick a time duration and see your total BTC and averages for the specified time span.

Before I add it on the web site and every where else:

First remote node up and running, in Singapore

Same username or bitcoin address, everything accounts back to the pool stats, as expected on the main web site at https://kano.is/

Pool address is any of the following, but also IPv4 or IPv6

stratum+tcp://sg.kano.is:3333
stratum+tcp://sg.kano.is:80
stratum+tcp://sg.kano.is:443

Give it a try if you are closer to that and let us know what you think

There's no other services running at that address, just mining.
