Well two payments have appeared in my wallet from the pool even though it's an orphan. Let's hope they confirm soon.

I suspect those were triggered by 442732.

Yea but unfortunately 3 hours later they haven't confirmed. Can someone with a wallet other than blockchain confirm if they have received them please?

As I said before I did not receive any payouts to my Core wallet. The last block paid was 442732.

I fat-fingered it...s/b 442364 that triggered 696 & 732...and Who's on first...

[Biodom]

with current low luck getting an orphan due to tech problems is unfavorable, but i have confidence that it is one and done situation.
All i care about is looong term and so far I got 8-10% better here over about 1 year period than on a competing pool.
The only thing that i worry a bit is that as "hot-shot" miners leave, our share of the network decreases and this would result in even more "lumpiness".
That said, i am looking forward to kano having back-to back two months of 100+%.
We haven't had this since June/July.

Sorry didn't see your last post. Ok so I'm kind of confused. The txid's show the usual pool payouts including all address and shows in my wallet with no confirms but you guys aren't seeing anything? How is that possible?

[wmabern]

I don't have an answer for you. I have never used the Blockchain wallet.

That's blockchain for ya. They are unconfirmed in my blockchain wallet too. I'm sure they will drop from there eventually, since they were part of an orphaned block. Blockchain shows it as orphaned on their orphan page, with the block reward going to BW (Thanks a lot Antpoo for building on the wrong one).

I send out the payout transactions to the pool bitcoinds soon after they mature (usually less than 2 minutes)
Normally no one else on the planet is interested in them coz they are zero fee - so they are just in the pool's mempool.

Out next block (usually) confirms them.

In this case I suspect that many outside china saw the transactions since our block got out first.
Thus many had the payout transactions in their bitcoind to handle our block.
Of course, since the block was (later) orphaned, the payout transactions switched back to being unconfirmed.

Blockchain.info has difficulty dealing with orphans and also flags the pools that mine orphans as double spending (yeah blockchain.info is stupid)

[firetreeactual]

Many mahalos (thanks) for the tweaks, Kano & CK. I am back to full node.

I do love it when a plan comes together.  

EDIT: ...and when I learn something new...

Thanks for the explanation Kano. So will they actually confirm at all or be stuck in limbo?

[scouse15]

Thanks for the explanation on the 2 weird payments in my core wallet from the pool, they been puzzling me so thought would come here to check.

If possible Kano, can you total up my dust payments and send them out. No more dust for me again, got my miners running 24/7 now. Username at pool is = scouse

Thanks if you can send the dust, no worries if not yet.

Block by blockmines! with 2,482.88THs ) First block today!

Good day. newbie here. I've been mining in antpool for quite some time now. I have a 26TH mining rig that mines me 0.023btc a day these days. quick question. if i mine here "ckpool", how much can i mine a day? the same? i got antminer s7 and s9's. thanks.

The rewards you would get would vary, since Kano CK pays PPLNS which pays for blocks, unlike AntPool which pays per share. On average though, you should expect to earn more as the fees are lower and transaction fees are paid out as well. Because Kano is a smaller pool though, you'd be subject to more variance and lower rewards on some days, and higher on others.

[ZACHM]

Also keep in mind that because of the PPLNS method the first several payouts will be much lower than what you are expecting. Keep them pointed here and wait at least a week and see where you are at that point.

Fantastic. They have both confirmed now. I know the process of the blockchain etc but when things go wrong I do get confused

To be happy you have to think long term on a pool like this.  It will pay more over the long haul but don't be too concerned over short term performance because of the higher variance.  If you can't do this you will probably end up being a pool hopper and will not get full payouts no matter where you go.

A7 owners...have you noticed that the A7s seem to be an order of magnitude higher on Stales than other hardware?  It's below the pool average for Invalids but it's something I've noticed.  I see the same thing with Kano's Worker Chart on his A7.

Same thing with my A7s. They tend to be on the higher side of invalids but below the pool average invalids.

I am having issues with the controller as the daisy chain combo of 5,3 / 4,2,2 were acting funny.

In the 5, 3 daisy combo 2 units get overheated one from the 5 units and one of the 3 units which seperately they don't. In the 4,2,2 configuration, only one unit from the 4 units gets overheated.

Now I am using 3,3,2 combo and all working well.

Contacted Canaan to check their controller software as I am sure it is sending funny comands.

[firetreeactual]

Yup...my one A7 is showing higher stales than I expected, but lower than the pool average. Actually glad to know it's just idiosyncratic to the A7, considering my recent interactions with the ISP...
