Now everything is in cloud. At one time people like to keep cash at home, maybe still, but I am getting used to do everything online

Can you please offer some alternatives for keeping BTC? Thanks.

So my questions are:

Can I still use Coinbase address for Kano since bitcoin transaction will be temporarily suspended?
Coinbase will temporarily suspend all bitcoin transactions. When will it resume?

Thanks for your answers!

Seems to me you should be asking Coinbase these questions.

Or asking themselves why they would use an online wallet?

Get a hardware wallet...they are easy to set up and very safe.  I have a KeepKey which I love and others really love their Trezor. You can also setup a Core node.

Thanks Kano! BTW I wouldn't mind if you hold payout until things settle down
I am still waiting for answer from Coinbase on its temporary suspension.

BTW, any recommendation on BTC store? Thanks!

Yes, at this point in time the safest thing to do is have your own wallet and then see what happens with the various activations - and not doing any transactions on the days that changes occur.

I will 'probably' suspend some payouts also if the network status gets 'hectic' - though I don't expect there to really be too many problems since it's not a 33/33/33 issue any more (33% nothing, 33% SegWit, 33% BU) it's now almost all SegWit but under various names.

I'm, of course, still working on our 'position' in the network, but will have that resolved soon.

the best way is to down load a core   0.14.2  wallet

but lets start a little slower.

do you have more then .5 coins?

if you do  you should have a core wallet.

note .5 coins  is a number I pick as i could lose .4 coins and not try to kill someone or myself.

I now have 2 core wallets both have a backup clone of the hdd

one is on mac and one is on windows.

Block by blockmines!

This is our 1st of BLOCK THURSDAY!

... and 2 payouts

I'd love to mine in your pool, but I can't get the account setup.

I setup an account (username MinerSRQ) a month ago (or more?) and it's not allowing me to login nor does the reset password come to my email address.

Kano, is there something I can do to get on your pool?

Are mobile wallets in https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet actually local wallets? or just a frontend to something online? Would the mobile wallets described there be a good option as a local wallet? instead of running a node just for 0.1 btc or less?

There's no account by that name.
I guess you made some mistake on the register page?
It will say so at the top when you try.
The other possibility is you got locked out, so I'd need your IP address to work out if that happened.
PM me the IP if you can't register at all.

Asked Coinbase. No response yet. I hope people here have the answer since I am not the only one use Coinbase.

Not coinbase (or associated with them in any way), but probably when there's a clear dominant chain, or if there are 2 stable chains. Without a dominant chain, confirmation scoring can be messed up, and if it does split into 2 chains, you might accidentally spend coins on both chains without meaning to, or you might get a tx on one chain only and your wallet may not register it correctly. This is assuming there is a chain split, as there might not be.

(sorry for the OT kano)

Well, it's an important subject nonetheless.

FWIW...I'm not even a Coinbase customer anymore, but got a detailed e-mail from them as to their actions, and why, and what to expect.

I put my coins in a core wallet .

I have a tiny bit in coin base.
I have a some in bittrex

I also mine to a blockchain.info wallet

Hello everyone. I have been mining at Kano for the last 3 days. I got rewards from day one itself. But as of yesterday 19-07-2017 I got rewarded less than half of what i have been getting. I have check all my miner and its qorking as usual. Did I miss anything?

The reward per block should be reasonably consistent - well consistent with your hash rate vs the pool hash rate - once you've been mining for 5Nd.
The reward per day is random.

Well that was a little unexpected ...
I restarted the main backend pool - which only has about a dozen or so connections - since everyone mines to nodes - but alas it couldn't handle passing the sockets over, so everyone will have failed over and back again.

So, it's only a failover and immediate failback - and hash rate is almost back to where it was before - so all ok again.

I've modified the coinbase to now say /NYA/ like (almost) every other pool.
It now says: ".🐈. KanoPool 0p @P /NYA/ "

The bitcoind is still running my modified 0.13.1 but will be upgraded to my modified 0.14.2 soon - but that won't cause any failovers.
I'll post again about that when I do it.

I noticed this morning that things look a lil bit different on the pools page.  the 5 min hash rate seems to be gone and only showing the hr hash rate on the top right and on the workers page I notice that this look weird to. . like the Last Block time and the elapsed time seems to be off by a bit.
Right now its saying at the top
Last    Block
Pool:     11h 34m (476607)
Network:     12m 28s (476697)

But the elapsed time for all the workers is saying 100hr 58m 14s  instead of 12m 28s

The numbers at the top look OK.

The pool restarted 11:06 UTC so for an hour after that, no one had a '1 hr' hash rate
It shows the 5min value until ckpool thinks you've been mining for 1hr - or it has been running for 1hr

The '«Elapsed' time for the 'Share Rate' is not resetting (since I updated the code last week)
I've added it to my TODO list - but unless I find a show stopper affecting payouts - that I am still processing on the live pool with the new code, and on the backup pool with the old code, so I can compare each one - the bitcoin changes I'm doing have all my priority for now.

Thanks Kano, I've always liked how you keep everyone in the loop

I keep my Coinbase wallet open for buying and selling bitcoin but I keep nothing in there.  I also mine to a blockchain.info wallet.  When it gets over 1.5 to 2 BTC I consolidate all of it to my KeepKey hardware wallet.  When it's done, I simply unplug the KeepKey and put it in my safe.  I thought about installing core and using that but in the back of my mind I couldn't help thinking that any computer connected to the internet can be hacked...even one running core.  Call me paranoid but that's when I decided to go with a hardware wallet.  Once I unplug it from my computer it cannot be hacked by anyone.  If it gets destroyed by fire or accident, I simply buy another one, use my recovery words, and I'm back in business with all of my coins safe and sound.

Since I can't stop myself from making some anti-segwit statement regularly ... since the world has gone mad and segwit in the new vogue ...

I'll be updating the main work generator to BIP91 later today - after I sleep - I want to be wide awake to check all is running ok.
I've tested it generating blocks (by a simple 1 line hack of reducing the PoW diff in bitcoin and the same in ckpool - and changing nothing else) - sorry to anyone in the IRC channel with those false block messages by kanobit

I've chosen BIP91 coz the code has the fewest changes and since both Segwit2x and BIP91 are the same thing excluding the 2x lock-in happening much later, and both will work the same until then, it's best for now to run the simpler, straight BIP91 and switch to Segwit2x when necessary, assuming all goes OK for the Segwit2x part.

The pool itself is still running standard transactions, no segwit commitment, but that still works OK with BIP91.
I'll update for the segwit commitment later with the code that was submitted last year to ckpool by someone in core ... though it was broken soon after that ... but appears to be ok now.

So that's the plan, and I'll post when I do the next changes.

I've posted a simple table about /NYA/ and Segwit2x here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2036632.0
Anyone with more info they'd like to add - post there and let me know

Block! by sapperlot
That's our first /NYA/ block but not a BIP91 block yet.

Edit: yep the payout was in that one, I'm reindexing one of the bitcoind at home, after the BIP91 testing, and of course it didn't show it, but of course it is there online
