KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2438 blocks

It's a spam transaction advertising some BTC multiplier thing.  I've gotten these before.  Nothing to see here, move along

Good catch, blocktrail omits the spam advertisement unlike blockchain.

Kano,

Big question:  When the pool (kano.is) goes down for any time period my miners switch to an alternate pool.  Do you have another address that my miners can default to and still retain 5Nd -or- does all of kano go down?

Your thinking of the 5Nd the wrong way.
I am going to see if I can come up with a better way to explain this to people...

Edit: Maybe this will help?

     Current difficulty = 113354299801

     That means that 1Nd = 113354299801

     5Nd = 113354299801 x 5 = 566771499005

     That means that when a block is found the last 566771499005 shares are paid.

     So for every one of those 566771499005 shares that you submitted you are paid for.
     You are paid for the ratio of your shares to the 566771499005 that are paid.

     The 5Nd is not a time, but a number of shares.


Example:

Last block the 5Nd = 567.815G = 567815000
My shares = 995.702M = 995702

995702 / 567815000 = 0.00175356762

Block reward = 25.06945359 X  0.00175356762 (my reward %) = 0.04396098206



Obviously my math it off by just a tiny little bit somewhere, but you get the point.
(It is off because the 5Nd is not 567815000, the last three numbers would not be zeros)

Now 3 remote servers

Thanks for the edification!  I just now got done resetting all of my miners one by one because they were hashing for kano.is and another pool.  I reset them to get them to hash just for kano.is. 

1) This takes me a considerable amount of time
2) My miners do not go fully back to kano.is and also hash for another pool
3) Constant resetting of the miner cannot be good for it.

Yesterday, someone gave me some information as to a program to reset all of them at once which would solve the issue for time, convenience, and hashing for another pool, but does not resolve the issue with constant resetting.  If there was another site that is still Kano, but does not go down with Kano when that happens; I would like that address then I will never have to reset.  Do one of the remote servers in Singapore, Germany and Russia stay up when Kano.is goes down?

Does this make sense?

Yes it makes sense, but it does not exist.
You need to setup a failover at some other pool.

The pool going down rarely happens for extended periods of time, so most people use solo.ckpool.org (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.0)
Or use a PPS pool.

Are you running dec 11 firmware? I have all 28 on dec 11 since dec 11. Manual fan 60% seems to help stability.

Yes, I am running the Dec Firmware, but they do not come all the way back.  They hash for the other pool in small increments.  Wolfen:  i am going to learn how to use  putty.exe to reset the miners in batch like you recommended, but have not learned it yet.

Any distraction helps the pain.

What pain, we are only at 86%!

Let the good times rolls. 

[VRobb]

Still waiting on getting a replacement controller for my S7 that's just sitting in the corner    As soon as I get her running again more hash coming to the pool!  Until then, my S5 and the chicken dance will have to do...! 

Crack that block!

Can a new thread be opened for the cheerleader squad and just keep this one pool related? Trying to blow through 20 pages of voodoo and chicken wings to find out pool related info gets more and more difficult. I try to keep up and my usual disclaimer, not trying to offend anyone. A good alternative for cheerleading type posts is Twitter. What is was designed for. Maybe use that for the chicken food and celebration tweets and leftovers will be all detailed pool related. Remember, some of us can't get on the forums daily and I would like to keep up to date on things but sometimes I can't because of 20 pages of "we will get this block" or "have some chicken".  While it is crazy funny wacky stuff us old guys read slower and can't keep up so fast. If I'm the only one that thinks this way, then stuff me right back down the hole from which I came.
Thank you.

How about no?

Here's a simple solution for you: Start->Control Panel->Mouse->Wheel->Roll the wheel one notch to scroll: The following number of lines at a time.

You don't have to read every post, you know.  I think there are way more people who enjoy the fun posts because, well, that's one of the things that makes this pool so fun.

How about neither - there is no place for those posts on this forum, but there may be another  medium for them While it's been fun for a while, unfortunately posts like "woohoo" and "eat more chicken" don't abide by the forum rules, being low value posts. Even though I'm part of this pool myself, as a moderator I now have complaints about this thread and I have to treat them accordingly. This means that what's considered low value posts will be deleted from now on. Some flexibility will be allowed, but paid sig owners will get no leeway.

Was getting worried approaching 100%

[dmwardjr]

Was getting worried approaching 100%

I wouldn't leave with another 666.666 block.

[PPOC]

I wouldn't leave with another 666.666 block.

Ditto, I'll never leave, I'll hash here till I don't hash no more. I've been here since early June (under 1PH pool) and lived through the Devil block, but with our recent luck 100% seams like 666% percent these days. Got used to 3-5 a day. haha

[maxsettings]

I was sitting here working and thought "It's been about an hour since I checked on the pool, wonder if we've found anything". No joke: 2 seconds later my phone lit up with the CKPool Monitor email saying we'd found one. Ha!

[suchmoon]

Was getting worried approaching 100%

It's getting ridiculous... 96.907% and 12 in a row below 100% (is this the longest streak yet?).

Yes, I've jinxed it now. Brace yourselves for a long one.

[hawkfish007]

Damn you SUCHMOON!

Hey guys help this newbie out(me) My rental ran out the shift before and I'm showing no rewards....am I just not waiting long enough? Please tell me I'm just not waiting long enough.

Reward page hasn't been updated with the new block yet.

Edit: it's updated now.

Your thinking of the 5Nd the wrong way.
I am going to see if I can come up with a better way to explain this to people...

Edit: Maybe this will help?

     Current difficulty = 113354299801

     That means that 1Nd = 113354299801

     5Nd = 113354299801 x 5 = 566771499005

     That means that when a block is found the last 566771499005 shares are paid.

     So for every one of those 566771499005 shares that you submitted you are paid for.
     You are paid for the ratio of your shares to the 566771499005 that are paid.

     The 5Nd is not a time, but a number of shares...

I'm a completely noob about technical knowledge of the bitcoin protocol, but now i understand this 5Nd thing thanks to you.
Really helpful explanation.

They had a streak of 17 green blocks back in Nov 2014.
