KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2436 blocks

[ATCkit]

After a few days of debating, I decided to bring over my miners for a little while, potentially until the end of the month or later.
I'm not a big hash miner but I am a duration miner, when I join a pool, I stay forever until I find problems.
Not moved yet, I will hash until noon my time, as I got more important fish to fry right before then and like to schedule everything.
If there are no connectivity issues, as far as connectING and remaining connectED... I'll hash until the end of the month, should give me an idea or what to expect.
I dislike moving my miners at any given time, I usually do it on Mondays but I feel F2Pool's isn't taking all my hashing power efficiently enough... not to my liking anyways.
I'll admit, I'm usually a big pool miner but mining is my career and I am damn good at it, I do better on large, stable pools; AntPool was this until now until I noticed their making empty blocks.
This pool was recommended to me on the AntPool thread... I hope Bitmain will resolve the issue because the pool makes best use of my hash power.
I mined every pool except this one I think... due to the fact that there was too little hash power; now it's rivalry to many big-shot pools so makes it a serious contender for my business.
Not sure of not having merge mining will make a difference but there is a few more days for me to test and differ earnings; do some math so to say.
I'm not a big hasher by any means but if people see me join here, maybe others will follow suit; This is my third year mining... virtually non-stop.

To me it's all about the almighty dollar.
Now I see I could win Avalon miners, nice, I used to own an avalon miner
I won't likely find a block but then again, the guy who won the last one, has around the same hash power I do.

I like the idea of prizes and sharing the tx fees; great way to retain business for new pools and steal some from old ones ;p

If it helps, you're doing the right thing.  Here, you can see Kano is more profitable than those big pools and it doesn't mine empty blocks:

welcome aboard. You wont be disappointed with kano pool. Great customer service and a great group of miners to mine with all are every helpful if help is needed. And like you said the tx fees are paid which antpool doesnt plus their empty blocks. which if i worked for them and it was what my bonus was paid with id make sure the code was written to stuff the blocks full each and every time.

we have our off days some times with a 500% block but then we have some good block Fridays where we get 7-8 in a day. And as more and more leave the dark side and come into the light the # of blocks a day will stabilize.


how many THs you running GigaBit?

[sorry2xs]

well, study long study wrong enough said,

[wolfen]

The wolfpack welcomes you.
I need my miners to run stable and this is the place for that.
Keeps me out of the datacenter and I don't worry about the pool crashing my miners.
Have a stack of s7's. They really enjoy how smoothly the pool runs. Orphans pretty much don't happen. The pool block log shows this.
ckpool code is top notch. That is the real meat. Connectivity and switching FAST.
Admins are excellent, you ALWAYS know what is going on, nothing is hidden.
Only 0.9% fee is awesome.
You will be pleased.

Wolfen.

Sorta kinda dumb question...but I figured this was the place to get a concise answer. There were some code changes recently, and since then I've noticed all my machines, 6 S3s and one S2, have gone to 1.042 diff as a pool-assigned value. Seems(?) a bit high for an S3, at least. Should I reset these manually to something like 400? Or wait and see? The rewards are down slightly, which doesn't seem to match any change in the pool hash rate. Is there a relationship there?

Not dumb at all. I only have 1 S3. It does close to 500GHS at 1042. sometimes as high as 540. Pretty much similar to what i got at 512. You could try 512 if you like.

-ck knows about this,said he will fix shortly. Was a bug he introduced.
He said go manual until his fix is in.

i tried changing min diff on my compac stick worker but it stays at 1.042k diff

Forgot about ck's note. Thanks for the reminder. I'll just let it be for now. Hashing is fine.

Wow, a welcome wagon eh, that's great! XD

Been reading on the OrganoOfCorti blog, good stats, I came down to the same conclusion as most did.
My thing about mining though is I like predictability and stability, even if it sacrifices profit and AntPool has been a good partner in that aspect but other activities keep me from looking at stats all the time.
Right now I got time to screw around and I am doing some upgrades in my mine, this week and next week I had scheduled to work on my mine because the new miner arriving.
I'm just a little miner but all my coin is 100% profit, I've no power bill.
Don't matter anyways, I'm still going to buy miners from Bitmain because, well, no one else is selling anything better for less coin.
I am not leaving because the pool sucks, I am leaving because the empty blocks are a burden to the network and I don't support that activity.
Not a lot of pools have been as stable as AntPool and the graphs are a testament to this fact.
Bitmain shot itself in the foot for BTC.com, this came to me out of nowhere, that's how I found out.

I only have about 13TH.s right now, I almost stopped mining after I lost my S4 and C1 within a week... but who'm I kidding; I'm not giver-upper, mining's in my blood.
There's an S7 on its way too though and I have room for two more.
Been mining non-stop, other than the month my modem died and needed a new ISP... since the S1 era and I still mine them right now; for heat...  they make amazing backup/reserve miners too.
As much as I want to shut them off entirely, they seem to always make their ways back into my mine or office; miners die.
Right now I have... well, take a look for yourselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2O0iayRhHk, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2O0iayRhHk (Older)... Your ad viewership is appreciated.
There is a pair of S5's and a pair of S7's in there, so the right side is 4-5 times more powerful than the left side.... 2.2Th.s vs. 9.5TH.s (One was downclocked to adapt for a health device)
Terrible sound and video, I know but I like watching this at night
I'll make more videos like this once conditions are favorable and I get a new mic (on its way)

I also have 3 S3's, a pair of S1's still and 1 FrankenMiner... ie: 1 S3 blade + 1 S5 blade on same frame for around 800gh.s. (This is badass, will make a vid before taking it down and how to build one)
The S3's are in my office for heat and because they are rather silent compared to the new generation of ants... boy are they ever XD
My mine is evergreen, I always keep up with the new miners and liquidate the older ones, it's a lot of work but it's how I stay on top.

I spent almost a year at the antpool before coming over to kano.  I was happy with the payouts but I did not like supporting zero blocks and SPV mining.  I made the switch at the end of November and it took me a while to get used to the variance but the pool was a lot smaller then.  Then I had a record month of payouts for December...and another record month of payouts for January.  Then February was my 3rd highest month ever and it only had 29 days!  So now I only focus only on monthly results and I couldn't be happier.  I am also blown away by the open, honest, and transparent support we get here from kano and -ck.

I had that happen too. One of my rigs needed a reboot when i changed the diff setting under worker management on kano. The it was good.

[cavaliersrus]

that did the trick thank you

hello i am new in kono pool i can not unterstant why from the morning i have earnd only 0.0015 as reward with a s7 antminer and 4,7 power in slush i got the same amount in a few hours?have i made something wrong?

[jonnybravo0311]

Different payout mechanism here than at slush.  You did nothing wrong - you just need to be patient.  Perhaps you might try reading up on how PPLNS works

[Legacy2005]

several reasons.

you are only paid when a block is found.
there is a ramp up time till you get to full payment.
payout is on a pplns system.


payments are best looked at on the long term vs the minute or hour or even daily time frame.

[pavlidmavrom]

ok so i have just wait.

simple answer   is think in 100 block segments not one or two block segments.



or time in needed for full payments = 32 hours.


yes 

at the start of time needed  say you have 1 hour in and 31 to go    that makes a small payment.

then 10 hours in 22 to go   makes a bigger payment.


then 20 hours in 12 to go even bigger.


then 32 hours in = full share.


the 32 can change a bit when the pool gets a lot more hash.
