Nice contest !!!  Thanks Kano and avalon, this will be fun.  I do have a problem with this part though :  "If for any month, the miner isn't won, it will continue into the following months until someone wins it."


If we dont find a block for a month

we will find block, not one not two, more...but all of them can be found by miners with 250ths and more

Thanks for thanking both party's for their generosity.

If the block finders are below 300Ghs or over 250Ths then it will carry over.  No use giving an A6 to a largish mining farm.

If we dont find a block for a month

250THs coincidentally odds to about a month for finding a block (~23 days).    gotta make you wonder if it's a coincidence

Steve0 and Steve1 already doubling his odds lol  Its possible he already was split or is two diff people tho..

Kano can you check the large users and see if they split up their accounts   lets keep it fair  .. be nice to go to a smaller miner guys:)

I didn't say anywhere that he can't do that if he wanted to.
He's had 2 accounts for ages since he joined anyway.
That's not something new.

The point of the upper limit is so that someone with 500THs, who doesn't really care about winning one miner, wont win one.

If they do care, they can of course make a worker with 50TH if they want.

The lower limit is coz I don't want to attract hundreds of tiny miners to the pool.
The pool hashrate vs workers is very good. Lots of tiny miners makes that not as good.

He's been split since he started here, I think he has 2 physical locations and tracks them separately for revenue reasons.

Avalon and kano.is are having another great miner give-away!

Over the next 5 months we will be giving away 1 Avalon A6 per month.

Be a miner here with more than 300GHs - and less than 250THs - and you could win one of the 5 Avalon A6 miners!

Details:

Only one Avalon A6 per winner.

Each month starts on the 1st day of the month at UTC 00:00 timezone.
The first month, January, starts on the 18th at UTC 00:00

If for any month, the miner isn't won, it will continue into the following months until someone wins it.
Each month adds a new miner to be won, so during some months there could be more than 1 winner if there was no winner the previous month.

Avalon will be supplying and shipping a miner to each winner.
It will be an Avalon6 x1, 4-pin-cable x2, AUC x2, without PSU - as shown in the pictures below (but silver - not black)
The Avalon A6 does 3.5THs +/- 5% at approx 1100W at the wall.




Avalon is great with cgminer!
The master cgminer git is kept up-to-date by Avalon submitting their changes, and they incorporate all the master cgminer changes!

Details about the Avalon A6 can be found on the bitcoin wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon6

Your 'Workers'->'Shift Graph' must show an average of 300GHs or more - and less than 250THs - on the red average line - for the sum of all your miners.
So if you want to be a winner you better make sure you are already mining 300GHs or more on your account now.
Note, of course, I can see anyone's 'Shift Graph' including address miners.

Now, just in case we do find any orphans, the orphans will also count as winners as long as the share isn't submitted too late.
The late timelimit is of course any time before, but also up to exactly 2 seconds after the pool sees a block change, according to the pool logs.
No adjustments or arguments about the exact 2 second limit.
No miners should be submitting blocks that late, so it's not a special requirement.

You will have to supply an address that Avalon can ship it to via EMS or DHL.
It doesn't have to be your own address, but it has to be possible for them to ship to your chosen address.
If you cannot supply an address EMS or DHL will ship to, then the prize will be awarded to the next winning block finder.

If you mine to an address, you'll need to sign a message with the winning address, to identify who is the contact to claim the prize.

If you don't want to supply contact details to ship it to, then the prize will be awarded to the next winning block finder.

One last important thing - my decision on the winners are final.
If there is any confusion or misunderstanding about how the winner is chosen, I retain the right to choose who the winner is in the event of any disagreement.

This is great, thank-you for doing this competition, lets find some blocks!  

This is awesome stuff and needs more air play time so I'm quoting it again as I missed it until I went back to search for ZACHM's responses as we get so many posts in this thread so quickly.  Only 1 question.  Why exclude user who have 251-299TH from the competition?  Is it above 300TH can win 1 and below 250TH can win 1 during the same month?  Would love to win 1 of these babies.  They're my favorite miners.  =)

P.S Thanks for doing this and this is what is makes this pool one of the greatest.  Low fees, great group of folks and 100% focus on keeping us hard working miners happy.

Oh.....haha.  I read it as 300TH for some reason.  Time to get some coffee.

thx for the giveaway contest. miners are warmed up, GL to everyone.

Just want to throw it out there to all the new users / miners to the pool.  If you're mining at Kano pool, definitely check out ZACHM tool at the site listed below.  When I switched to Kano pool, I missed a lot of the cool Slush features.  However with ZACHM's tool, Kano pool actually have even more fancy bells and whistles, like email alerts for blocks found, low hashrates and even accounting help with the rewards conversation from BTC to FIATs.  I'm really glad DMwardjr told me about this awesome tool.  This will keep me a loyal miner to this pool indefinitely.  It's so much more fun to get an email alert whenever a block is found then to check the pool every 15-30mins. 


Check out the tool and if you find it helpful for you, don't forget to send Zachm a small token of appreciation for his hard work.

Agree that this is a great tool and I just started using it. However I have a problem with it never showing my rewards. Don't know if it's a problem with the API key not providing the info and I'm not sure where to ask for help. Is there a topic on the ckpoolmonitor? Or, is this the place to ask?

Rewards need to be entered manually.

I know you told me two times, but I do not know if it's feasible, or is normal that I do not see anything on the homepage?
I have to configure something?
it is feasible?
It is not feasible?
unfortunately google translador translates badly and will not let me get this straight

Thanks ZACHM. Great tool! Recommend you add a page to the site that outlines what info is provided, such as the alerts and notices, and that provides instructions on how to use the rewards tracker, etc. Could be a very basic page.
