Usually I need one confirmation for nh

I see that you cannot mine into the nh wallet.
With coinkite.com you can mine to your coinkite wallet and auto forward to the nh wallet.

well for those eligible the race is on....

This one could be classed as a marathon. Will be interesting to see how the race progresses over the month.

This could get quite interesting...at least it should keep the interest up all the way through the end of the month!  Now we need to hit a couple of blocks to break up the confirmation log jam!!  It seems that the kano pool has to do everything around here to keep Bitcoin going!

Hmm wonder if they did that in spite of me complaining about the BS refunds that MRR seems to keep in their pocket after removing it from the underperforming rig owner and using bull excuses to not pay the renter.. I've had this happen to me as a rig owner and a renter on both sides.

Yep, my NH rental kicked down to the red area at 3am for 4 hours.
I cancelled it and resubmitted it. The new rental has also been stuck for 4 hours.

WBF1, thanks for the 2048 diff tip. That fixed the stuck NH rental on kano after restarting the rental.
Kano, I wonder why this changed? The difficulty on the workers management page?  AAAHHH!

Anyone have issues connecting NiceHash rental to Kano pool today?  Tried stratum 80, 81, and 3333 still no luck

I'm not sure if this is new, but you need to increase minimum difficulty to 2048 for your nicehash worker in the kano.is workers page.

After that, you probably need to restart your rental.

I saw reference to changing worker diff but thought it needs to be done at NH side which is greyed out. That works.  Thanks!

from what I can tell, the diff setting on NH shows 127 => 2048 which means diff can start at 127 as long as it increases to 2048 after some time.

problem might have occurred if workers disconnected from the pool, pool started difficulty extremely low (below 127) and never tried to increase it because no work was being done. Just one of those weird hiccups that can happen. also possible something happened pool side that reset min diff settings for workers, but kano or ck would have to confirm that. all is good now though. just make sure any nh workers have a min diff in the pool settings of 2048.

The minimum pool diff is set to 42. Previously if you set a worker diff in the web site and then set it back to zero it would stick to the worker diffThat has been changed now and setting it back to zero will set it back to default and allow it to get as low as the pool allows - during a ramp up or ramp down of hashrate it might now be dropping diff to lower levels. Presumably if the lowest diff you can have is 127 on NH you will have to set it to 127 or higher for rentals with them now, but I'd suggest a sensible much higher value as you've done. Use hashrate in TH / 1.4 for the worker diff.

Also, with using badhash there's no idea what random hardware will be mining, and various old bitmain firmware has issues with power of 2 diff values, so rather than 2048 I might suggest 2052.

Thanks for this tip kano!

Here's something interesting...this morning I sent a little BTC to nicehash to refill the tank a bit and it's been sitting at 0 confirmations all day along with 5 other transactions in my wallet.  The interesting part is nicehash has given me access to my BTC even though the transaction is still at Transaction pending 0 confirmations.  I've never seen anyone do that before...it's like NH want's me to use that BTC bad!

That is interesting! NH usually won't allow me to use my BTC deposits until 2 confirmations. Maybe they're feeling the sting of all these backed-up transactions?

I sent some to NH this morning, it took a couple of hours to hit 2 confs. Longer than usual but not really a big deal. However, of the last 3 payments Kano sent only one of them has any confirmations. The other two are still either "unverified" or 0 confirmations in my wallet. I'll just agree with Phil that this is a good sign for network difficulty dropping... (That being said, good thing I don't try to buy coffee in the morning with BTC! )

Interestingly enough, coffee.foldapp (spend BTC at Starbucks) has always been 0-conf for me in the past, but I haven't used it since RBF came out.

Is this amount of stale is normal?..

I'm using s5 as my miner

[wolfen]

The last Kano block payout confirmed, the two before show zero confs.

Looks similar to what my 7 is doing.  Normal operation I'd guess.

Well depends on where you are and the S5.
It's not overly high for an S5 though.

Im from Malaysia, the miner pointing to sg server.. The ping roughly 78-100
So I should change the diff or something?

[vr4dude316]

anyone know what happened to blocks 400443 and 400445.  looks like payment for 400492 came through before the other two...??

Diff makes no diff (erence).

To understand that in maths terms: if you increase the Diff, you get fewer stales, but each with higher difficulty.
The overall effect, the same total stale diff
The reverse of course is also true, lower Diff means more stales but each with lower difficulty.

The long term effect is almost linear so you wont gain or lose by doing it.
The non-linear effect is bitcoin difficulty changes, but when compared to the time frame of shares, that has almost zero effect.

Yep, no one has made it onto the March possible-winners list yet

There's now 3 payouts awaiting a confirm - and about to be a 4th one in 4 network blocks time.

Whoever gets the next pool block (in the near future) will also cheer us all up by confirming all the pending payouts

400492 was confirmed by someone else.

Thanks for the answer, appreciate it.. Still very new and confusing with all the setting of miners.

Let's get this block baby!
The start diff screwed up my rental 5nd need BTC

[sorry2xs]

prices must have gone up at nice

[philipma1957]

This block is pushing 275%

It could be the winning high CDF for the month!

lets hope that 275 is the high. another 500 block so soon would really hurt.
