sorry I went to bed.Yes this is my account

[omega015]

I notice some new info on the login pages (see below for warnings people) 

Kano, you say miner password should be 'x' is this going to be mandatory or was this just to point out don't use your kano account password? i.e. is 'abc' or '123' ok? just so I know if to update all my workers or not?

Thanks.


WARNING: Do not give your username+password to anyone else.
Do not give your username+password to apps or web sites.
A monitoring app or web site will ONLY need your username+API key.
You can setup an API key from the 'Account'->'User Settings' menu page after you login.
Your miner password should be 'x' and must not use your login password

everything OK with the pool ? my miners don't mine here anymore for some reason ?

Going to take a guess that this could be something to do with the "issue" previously posted, I'm sure Kano will explain. Unless my assumption is wrong in which case.... have your changed any Kano.is pool settings? do your backup pools work etc..?

EDIT: Have you managed to login to your Kano.is account?

My back up pool is working fine.
I haven't changed any settings in kano.is
I will just need to change my payout wallet

changing payout address is nothing to do with your miners not mining and I would avoid mentioning this as part of your problem as this raises suspicion. Have you tried changing one of your miners to use one of the alternative pool settings?

You can also try any of:
stratum+tcp://stratum81.kano.is:81
stratum+tcp://stratum443.kano.is:443
stratum+tcp://stratum8080.kano.is:8080

There is also .de .sg servers you could try.

If none of these alternative pool settings work perhaps your IP have been restricted temporarily? (but not sure if Kano would resort to blocking active miners at this stage so this might not be the issue)

Also have you emailed Kano like he asked from your email account you have setup on Kano.is? This is the proof he required to prove you are the Kano.is account owner.

[vortexz]

Indeed it seems like I was blocked from Kano.
He says he doesn't want me here anymore
I don't understand, I was a victim here and I had my funds stolen, people should be more protective not start rejecting the victims.
I've been with kano and I liked it a lot, I will be more carefull from now on with my passwords and everything, this was a lesson I learned, we all learn from mistakes.

I have cleaned my pc and installed a fresh windows and I have all reasons to belive the threat is gone now.
I can also confirm with my e-mail adress, yes.
Please sir Kano, I don't think you have to close my account for good.

This is Kano's pool and he has the right to choose who he wants to mine here and I am sure he has his reasons and will/may have explained. There are lots of smaller pools out there if you want to keep away from the bad for Bitcoin pools and I hope they have a great forum and set of people like Kano/CK.

EDIT: Myself and other forum users wont be able to speculate on any private conversation between you and Kano, so if you do have issues then you will need to take this up directly with Kano.

[vortexz]

I hope that he will review his decision,  I was mining here since it was about 4 PH and have also invited my friends to mine here as well.
And I'm sorry for this was happened to me.I will be much more carefull with my money from now on.
Thanks everyone for support

[yslyung]

dos again ?

[omega015]

dos again ?

Working ok for me and hashrate is 'normal'.

Hi Kano,

did you switched off the bestshare info, because my miners did not respond it. (cgminer-api)
Can you send it to me. Or is it an problem with my cgminer version.


Where are the 5-Star buttons for CK-Kano-Pool?

maybe it would be more safer if you just opened a new email with new bitcoin address and set  your miners to that?

use gmail, with 2fa enabled.

Unless his miners IP has been blocked

EDIT: Agree about the 2fa being used though as everyone should use it for additional safety.

vortexz, did you also use the same password on f2pool? There was a warning on their site a few days indicating that if you used the same password on f2pool as other sites, you might be at risk.

It wasn't clear if this meant that f2pool's account passwords were hacked, or if it was just a general warning.

But in any case, you really should not use the same password on multiple sites, especially when money is involved. Sorry that this advice comes too late...

Our passwords were not hacked. We issued that warning because we have received multiple reports lately and a number of bad guys are trying to brute force users' password on our site.

Well, then limit the amount of try's for that to 3 and block the ip if it is wrong....
Where is the problem?

The problem with that is that someone could then cause inconvenience by blocking users accounts. 2FA would be far better. However this is about someone else's pool, so is going a little off topic (Fear the scorn of Kano  ).

EDIT noticed you said block IP, that could still become an admin issue waiting for a pool to unblock IP's. unless theres a reset after x hours. however I doubt many pool operators would bother.

OK Serious question then some comments.  Why are not miners flocking here?  I mean looking around at other pools.... They are having great difficulty getting even close to 100%.

/SOAP BOX ON
Comments...   Vortex is an idiot.   He is a 'victim' of his own stupidity.   Ignore trolls and idiots.

Enough with posting what you ate or drank already.   The chicken thing was a little funny the first couple of posts now it is worthless clutter.

The reason Kano gets bent out of shape over the gamblers falicy talk is because it is so wrong and not helpful to grow the pool.
Individual miners hash and each hash is equal in its chance of success... There is no inevitable normalizing even possible.   BUT the efficiency of the pool and its ability to get productive work to each mining machine can and does effect the overall "luck" number especially when comparing to less effective pools.  So stop with the chicken, voodoo, magic, crap, and stick with what is relievent.

I will be bringing some more miners over here throughout the day.  Love the Humor in this forum.  We need that with all of the ups and downs of buying multi-thousand dollar machines and hoping they hash.  Great pool, Great Moderator, and in the middle of it all: a Great Pool Manager - Kano!

[soma909]

Thanks AriesIV10.

I've found this pool and forum support to be great.

For anyone interested I've set up a node on a VPS - https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/104.155.37.41-8333/

Now the blockchain has been fully downloaded the latency seems pretty good. Anyway, perhaps someone might find it useful for their own applications.

Cheers

I'm not entirely sure what you mean?

You mine to the pool as a username ... as everyone can see you finding (3) blocks
There is no best share info on the pool for a username account.

However, the mining address account pages show bestshare coz that's the "direct from ckpool" data like on solo.


However, if you mean you have an Antminer that loses it's best share info, then that means you are running a buggy Bitmain firmware version
(I only have S1/S2/S3 versions) and to hack around that you need to change your diff in the Workers->Management page and set it to a value that's not a power of 2 e.g. if your miner is mining at 2048 diff, set it to 2052, or 4096, then set it to 5002
