if they toss back to back that is 1 in 10000 chance my guess is the pool has
bad code bad server bad internet or bad gear mining on it.
Or the pool owner decided to snag a block reward for themselves. I hazily recall a pool getting caught out for the statistical improbability of their never finding extremely lucky blocks back around 2012. Turned out the owners were taking all the blocks the pool found below a certain share threshold. Do you remember which pool?

Hi fellow miners Once again I have not been on this thread for almost 2 weeks bc I've just been too busy doing other stuff. Loved how Feb performance went out with a bang, very nice! While I was reading the last 12 pages or so, we found a block! Woo hoo! Really cold in New Jersey today but nice & sunny so solar panels are starting to crank & should generate about 22kW today - yay! @Citronic: Welcome back! To those who have been asking how we like Kano's pool, I 'm just a very small hobby miner but I wouldn't point my gear anywhere else. Kano runs an honest, efficient pool with low fees and he's always on top of things. You can't do better anywhere else. Just keep in mind, you have to think long term and don't panic when luck goes bad for several days or more... It's just variance and in the long run it all evens out very nicely. Mine on

I just run Avalon 1.5 days. The invaid of Canaan too high. Just for the new block, the invalid if 2 A741 and 1 A721 in a chain is 1%. Invalid of R4 is 0%. How to fix the invalid and how invalid affect your luck pool or my hashing and sharing?
The invalid is stale share? Do I get paid for that? And how to avoid that?

@Citronic: Welcome back!
The Avalons 721s x 120; are mining here at Kano. The S9s v1 x 108; are mining somewhere else. Both farms are powered by hydroelectricity at Cryptoboreas Inc., Labrador-NFL, Canada.

I hazily recall a pool getting caught out for the statistical improbability of their never finding extremely lucky blocks back around 2012. Turned out the owners were taking all the blocks the pool found below a certain share threshold. Do you remember which pool? I don't remember the name, but I think its website had a brownish color scheme. This was more likely late 2011, back when the common pool payout method was proportional (a few had PPS) and pool hopping was a thing. At the tail end of the GPU era with the first BFL FPGAs trickling out. A few months before, someone (Meni?) had posted proof that hopping was much more profitable and so we were torturing the pools with essentially a miner DDoS right after they found a block to try and get a few shares in any short blocks. It was one of the 8-12 pools I would hop. There were grumblings about how this specific pool never seemed to have really short blocks, and someone looked at the stats to see that indeed there seemed to be a cutoff. People kept hopping it for a few months and eventually the pool got hacked with it's source leaked showing they would set the payout address to their own on a block change and update it to the pools after some percentage of difficulty had been hashed. Now this was all years ago and things were changing so fast back then that I'm sure some of the few details I remember are mashed up with other things or out of order. I'm almost certain it was the pool with the brown color scheme, there was another questionable pool that was white with lots of text and charts that was also shady, but lasted much longer.

Do you think that we got attack or something wrong? The luck is so bad.
nope really bad luck is back to back 99% cdf that is 1 in 10000 chance. I have a rule if a pool does back to back 99% cdf I leave it. The only pool I have been in to do that is not kano.is You can send me a pm to ask me the name of that pool. Phil, remember that back to back CDF of 99% is 1 in 10,000, but that is *only* when looking at the next 2 blocks. If you mine 100 blocks at the pool, your back to back CDF of 99% has a 1 in 100 shot over the 100 block span. That is still bad, but not as bad as 1 in 10,000. If a pool hit 1 in 10,000 and they haven't mined 10,000 blocks, run!!! You might have been saying the above, I just want people to remember that over time you are expected to hit some extremes and unfortunately they are normal. But, that can work both ways. This pool has a 17% CDF for all time, and that is amazing!

Yes. That usually happens when Kano detects bots trying to connect to the pool.

Same here, it started in the last hour or so. If you need some info, I think the API is still working.

Yes. That usually happens when Kano detects bots trying to connect to the pool. Kinda what I figured, but thought I would check if others were experiencing it too.

Same here, it started in the last hour or so. If you need some info, I think the API is still working. Yep it's a small botnet of around 500 computers using invalid usernames and trying to login. I'm guessing it's just a spam attempt at the (separate) web server. They've been doing it for about 1.5hrs so far with a small break in the middle. But yep, the API is unaffected by it and it has no effect on mining at all.

Need a little help, I'm buying a Avalon 741 with BTC. Jon says I need to, Once completed, send us the TX confirmation. What is it and were do I find it? New to this, and 75yo. Thanks for any help Chili
hmm, very new I guess but we were all there at one time.. They are talking about the transaction ID code or TxId. In your Bitcoin wallet check the status of the tx. That is where you will find the Tx Id. After you do a BTC transaction a code is issued that identifies it in the Blockchain forever. eg a2c8d0f9e9d6185cf5dd0383812e123d3e8f330b87b012de5eb58edacb08245f That breaks out into https://blockchain.info/tx/a2c8d0f9e9d6185cf5dd0383812e123d3e8f330b87b012de5eb58edacb08245f for a s9 I bought. Also - you MUST tell Canaan that that you are using BTC. Reply to the email they sent with wire transfer info and tell them that you will be using BTC. They will reply with the BTC amount and address to send it to. Lastly - this is the wrong thread/section for a question like this...

He mines on the pool here and I have contact with Canaan so it's a good place to ask and he already got his answer Also blockchain.info is unreliable

I've used them since early 2014 and can't complain. Only issue I've had is that within the past 2 weeks 2 tx for purchases and an xfr to Coinbase each took ~3days to confirm despite what should have been a decent TX fee paid each time.
