Schweet!!  Lucky 13th block, nice! 

If was solomining and magically had the same hits along the way: 13 x 12.5 = 162.5 BTC, before any solo pool fees and without tx fees.

But the last 250 blocks' luck, I started here in early Nov 2016 so ~200 blocks found, makes my payout amount significantly lower than that.  Hoping for better luck for the rest of 2017...

good luck to all

kano? just another quick ? about dust payments.

If someone has a few tiny dust payments do the dust payments get sent out once someone has enough to be over the threshold / or do you still have to manually send all the dust payments out to some on if they ask??



and sorry in advance if this is a ? you have been asked by others a million times already.

Dust payouts are manual, I avoid them like the plague.

Yep your luck has been above 100% - but your PPS reward is about 97% for your shares submitted so not doing too badly

and the opposite is also true with slush.  Someone could be at their full hash rate and working for a long time on a long a block, but if they drop out before the last 1hr and 40 mins or so. Then they get nothing if there scoring hash rate is back down to zero at the time the block is done. No matter how much work was submitted before that last hour and 40 mins it takes to drop to zero hash rate. 

Exactly why I left slush. Large power outage like 8 hrs into a 9.5 hour block and I got paid less than 1/1000th of what I was normally getting per block because my "scoring hash rate" was like 20GH/s. I would have made more if I spent that 8 hrs mining the shittiest shitcoin.

ok well all 15 dust payments when added up is an entire whopping 4 cents US worth of bitcoin. So i'm not going to even think about making anyone go threw haveing to send them manually.   lol I guess I might change my turn if btc ever goes to $100,000.

kano said that bitmain is using asicboost, which everybody thought was just patented software.
now, some info came out that bitmain is using asicboost covertly in hardware...check reddit for details.
This "covert" asicboost would be negated by segwit, apparently, which explains why bitmain is so opposed to segwit.
Current exposé also explains very well why they were mining a lot of empty blocks-check it out.

I am not a specialist in soft or hardware, so don't know if such claims are true, but if they are, i expect a reaction.
It would look like bitmain rejected segwit based on very selfish motives.

EDIT: sources say that Segwit blocks can be mined with Bitmain's hardware. However, and this is critical..

Using the covert, disabled in public hardware ASICBOOST implementation they can not mine blocks with SegWit commitments.

"they" being Bitmain and possibly other miners in cahoots (large pools in china?)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/63oxzv/so_all_this_bitmain_ver_jihan_bu_drama_is/

tl;dr Allegedly, Bitmain sold you a miner with a hardware feature (that it has control over) that enables 20-30% 'faster' mining for them, but not for YOU (as it is switched OFF in publicly available hardware).

Yep, as per the document I pointed out in their S9 thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1493601.msg15634328#msg15634328

and also the stratum change they made to enable it in the miner, since it works a little differently when talking to the pool,
that broke S9 <-> ckpool initially (until they fixed it)

However, if they were 'actually' using it, we'd see blocks with the block version numbers matching the change.
I'm not sure how many such blocks exist.

They also had a close share the other day 117% before the 203% block - that would have been a block before the last diff change:

That's kinda like condemning city streets (with a traffic light every block) for not having the same speed limit as the Autobahn.
While I have many issues with BM software, the truth is that it's not that BM turned it off on other pools, asicboost isn't written into most pools.

No idea how your street light random comment compares at all but:
Got any details on how a pool can do it? No? Missing documentation?
I'm pretty sure streets tell you the speed limit ...

Meanwhile, the Bitmain S9v1 is continuing to crap along badly and CDF been getting worse ...
CDF[Erl]: 0.995135
Expected: 126.6

...

If you buy a car that can go up to 230 MPH on an open highway, can you condemn the maker of that car because you choose to always drive it in conditions that never exceed 30 MPH and it gets the MPG that they advertised for driving 30 MPH?

And I'm pretty sure that Bitmain sells miners with an advertised rate that is experienced by the majority of users that purchase them.

They don't get the advertised performance - and even worse, on this pool they suck badly with luck.
I've no doubt they suck on other pools also, but most people don't even understand how to analyse pool information.
Slush proved that so clearly, he wasn't even checking anything for years from when he started his pool until after the withholding occurred at the end of 2015.
Even now I doubt he'd have the faintest idea about the maths involved in what I do on this pool.

Lulz no he doesn't.

He doesn't write stratum code or pool software.

I understand how the hardware works, it's even in that document I provided from bitmain, the problem is what are the full stratum protocol changes that bitmain have made, to talk to the miner - which have nothing to do with that guy.

You're probably right, it's unlikely that the guy that designed, wrote, and filed for the patent on asicboost has any documentation on the implementation of it.
As for BM releasing documentation on the private pool code that they use, I imagine that will come 3 days after never (much like you releasing all of your private pool code).

Correct, he probably has no idea at all about stratum and the changes necessary for it.
Which has nothing to do with the hardware implementation of asic-boost.
Your sarcasm fails coz you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Lulz, CKDB is public and works fine for any pool already - will do a few hundred PH and well over 20,000 workers on a single pool.
Gotta suck that I don't have a opensource ckdb that expands to powering a pool all over the world ... oh wait, I do already ... since I've still not completed the new changes
No 'known' bugs. Use the only known working version of ckpool - last flagged working last August.

Your sarcasm was obvious here also ... oh and ... go fuck yourself
