KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2435 blocks

[wmabern]

Damn hash board went dead yesterday on one of my four S9's. So I'm chugging away at 46-47TH's.

The price drop and the recent temp increase make running the three S7's unprofitable for now. Supposed to get cold again in the next few days. Depends on what the coin price looks like before I fire the S7's again.

I sent the hash board off to Colorado yesterday. I'm hoping for a quick turn around. I've had to under-clock the S9 miner with only two hash boards because I guess the air flow is disrupted without the center board.

Let's CRACK this MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give us GREEN!!! Make it so!!

MINE ON!!

I admire the morality and transparency going on in this pool. A lot. Including those providing the support. The amount hash power of this pool is no where near where it should realistically be from an overall comparison of pools.

It seems the general miner community prefers the PPS negative payment structure with the pool pocketing the transaction fees that are greater than the reward payout. At least, it seems that way for now based upon pool network percentage shares.

Is there any effective way to offer a better deal than some of these pools, like Antpool, while you keep the transaction fees if desired by the miner?

Just thinking if you offered your current pool structure and the alternative structure that people seem to be flocking towards, you could show transparency in both and offer links via the dashboard to both styles. Similar to what some pools do anyhow, yet with your much more transparent statistics. One could even show a breakdown of what they would have earned on the alternative payout structure for comparison.

People, seeing a dashboard where one side keeps the fees and the other doesn't (with a comparison), may help education the mining community. And, given the success of these pools pocketing transaction fees, it seems some education is very necessary.

I like the much more open payout structure at Kano. I also recognize the miner hesitation to join when seeing last pool block 37 hours ago. Even if that number is purely psychological from a payout standpoint. My thoughts are there must be a way to combine both the quality and transparency of Kano with the tactics of larger pools that are clearly dominating the overall network.

I'm certain many people would want to help support this pool with such an endeavour, from back-end work to helping with other methods like running social media accounts. Of course, this all boils down to the real question: Is there an interest here in proactively growing?

We were getting 6-7 blocks a day sometime when we had a pool hash rate of the mid 30's. The good ol days!

Oh what a difference doubling the difficulty makes.

Yes, I meant to add that in my comment in addition to the lower participation rate.

Hope we have some blocks when wakeup. We have begun with the hard month, March 2017.

Do people really need payouts multiple times a day?  Most miners only make a few bucks per day, is waiting a few days that big of a deal?  Any equipment you buy will take 6 months to a year (or more) to pay for itself.  Waiting is what miners do, what is waiting a few days?

For Kano I want the pool to grow (more hashrate means his fixed percentage grows in value per day).  For me personally, I only care about luck.  I would take good luck with less often payouts any day.

I know this isn't quite the right venue for this question, but since the BTC was earned from mining with you guys, I figured I could get a quick and comprehensive answer.

In short, I attempted to spend some BTC on 3/1/2017.
Transaction: 1ef13f798091d3e82019c6b4518e8f2c830a12aa61ee5415752a76746a972145

The transaction is still unconfirmed, and I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to complete it.

I sent it from GHCloud, which automatically sets the fee, so there's no way for me to adjust it when I send.

Question 1: Is this thing ever going to confirm? How long should I typically expect to wait?

Question 2: What would the recommended fee for something like this, in order to get it confirmed faster? It looks like I paid a fee of 0.0009, which apparently isn't enough to get added into a block.

Question 3: What determines the recommended size of the fee? (Not at GHCloud, but just in general) I understand that it's the size of the transaction, but does that come from the number of inputs or something? it seems that this shouldn't be such a complicated transaction, so I don't quite understand.

Question 4: How can I prevent this from happening in the future? I read in the form that Kano said something about occasionally sweeping your btc into another account. I tried that with a different transaction (also from GHCloud) and it seems to be suffering from the same problem.

Thanks in advance!

Hummm I dont think it really matters how many times a day someone gets a pay out or not or about waiting to get a payout with lag time on it.

For me i could care less how many payouts a day I get and mostly only care about how much I can make in a day on average or how fast it rackes up while waiting for a payout.


So far since feb I earned also as much as i would in a day at some other pools due to the streak of luck we hit for march so far..  But hopefully it swings back around sometime soon to average out good.  Tho i have just been haveing bad luck all around the last few weeks even in my life. every thing that can go wrong seems to lately.     I even had my power co try to give me a heart attack last week when I get my new bill and seen they switched my supplier from my fixed rate of 5.8 cents and went to a whopping 12  cents Plus another 6 for delivery making my bill way more $ then it should of been.  So thats going to add a few months to any ROI.    LoL

Btc mineing is sometimes feels a bit like when i used to mine gold with my dad back in the day ..  You can spend a fortune hoping to make a little bit of money. Good thing IM a glutton for punishment tho and the upside is i'm not standing in an ice cold stream all day.  Or breaking my back. Hoping to find a good streak of pay dirt in the sluice box at the end of the day.  :-)   and the miners don't need to sleep and work even when I am sleeping or out working another job so I'm not going to really complain.   TOOO much

I'm chatting with Russian speaking btc-e.com traders community on Telegram, most of the traders think the denial will NOT affect the BTC price after the very first attempts of manipulative or panic sell. So mine on, most of their predictions come true as I watch this group chat.

Funny how no one complained about the the 6.548% block, the 6.913% block, the 14.690%, the 21.084% block, the 32.406% block, or even the 52.362% block.
