Nice job RFil with 13.76TH/s!  Welcome to the Acclaim Board with your 1st Kano block!

This is our 1st of BLOCK FRIDAY!

Been mining for sometime now with settings on antminer on URL stratum.kano.is:3333

but pinging de.kano.is and nl.kano.is is 120ms % faster than kano.is and wanted to change the antminer configuration

What's the proper URL to set in antminer for  de and nl?

thanks

All of the different nodes are in this format:

stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333 (ports can be 80, 81, 443, 3333, or 8080)
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333

Yeah but I have no idea who uses what random web wallets/exchanges and what silly rules some of them will come up with.
We'll be mining on the mainnet and if some of them decide to switch to some other coin there's nothing I can do about that.

Exchanges and wallets do strange things ... like blockchain.info saying our payouts are too big ... or bitpay regularly tells me my transactions pay too small a fee even though they are often confirmed in the next block ... some like to come up with their own random crap rules that you can just ignore

The reason for the "Hold Option" is if you are using some wallet or exchange that does something completely stupid, you can wait and see what they do for a few days before you decide to either change your payout address and re-enable it, or leave it where it's already going and re-enable it.

Personally I think there should be no problems, but the option is there for anyone (unnecessarily?) concerned about their BTC

Though if you were on some pool that used the block's coinbase transaction to payout, you'd have no choice

It's still a few days away, and to be blunt, I'm not really sure what the concern actually is.
Pretty much all the mining hash rate is using the equivalent of core's 0.14.2, so if someone decides to fork off some alt-coin with a few PHs or even 100 PHs vs the network's 6,200PHs - that's like stupidly insignificant and not even worth worrying about.

I guess just make sure you aren't associated with any wallet or exchange doing something stupid

...

I may hold back a few payouts around/before 1-aug and send them a day or two later, but not for lots of days, maybe one or two days at the most.
I'll decide on the 29th and let everyone know then.

Edit: web link now points to this post

We should be good using the Core Wallet right Kano?

[firetreeactual]

I'm not Kano, but I'll give you the assurance that your Core wallet is the safest place to be right now...or ever, for that matter.

If you (or anyone else) changes your password, payout address, email address, or 2fa in yaw account, you'll get an email with the IP and date/time it changed.
So "being hacked" is not something that will happen "without you knowing".

As for "being hacked", the only way that would happen is if you don't have 2fa and someone knows yaw password, or you give someone access to yaw 2fa and yaw password.
2fa is a one in 1,000,000 chance of guessing it, so not likely, and password or 2fa guessing gets you auto banned, so neither is likely.

If anyone wants me to hold their payouts - they can request it (but send an email from your pool account email address to the address you get pool messages from)
However, the held payouts will sit in your dust fund until I do the dust processing code, some time in the future, in a galaxy far far away.

Also, tell me ASAP, coz once I've created the payout for any block, which is before it matures, I'd have to redo the payout from scratch to change anything, and of course once it's matured, the transaction is out on the bitcoin network, so I certainly wont be trying to double spend it, to change it.

It's not an on, off, on, off, on, off thing I will be doing, just a once off thing now you can request over the next few days, then later request it back on again.

Edit: OK added a link to here, on the web site also.

Just spit-balling here...instead of holding individual payouts by request, why not simply hold off on pushing the txn's of any blocks we hit on the 30th Through 1st to the pool?  Once the forks (if any) are resolved, push the txn's to the pool for our next block in line.  It should only be 3-6 blocks to deal with

I like that idea but it is kano's pool.

Not mine.


 I will never have a pool as code writing is not my skill set.

I'm getting emails all day today from all of the online wallets/exchanges (where I've been registered) saying that if you want to get the BTC cash you better pull your funds out since all of them decide not to deal with the BTC Cash and all saying exactly same thing that they are staying on the same path and don't care that VIaBtC wants that second blockchain.  So if you keep your BTC with them alter split you will still have only BTC.

Firstly, and most importantly, as has been said here many times, by many people:
If you have BTC, not in your control, the person who controls it decides what happens to it.

--

So ... the online wallets/exchanges are telling you to pull your funds out of them?

That sounds a bit suspicious ... and would mean those online wallets/exchanges are heading for a crash

--

Anyway, it's all to do with Bitmain who stated they were making a (tiny) fork of BTC called BTCCash, coz there was a risk on Aug-1 of the Miners being forced to use segwit.

What of course happened, as we all know, is that all the miners switched to BIP91 already, so the morons in the UASF can be totally ignored.

--

However, Bitmain has decided to go ahead with their BTCCash hard fork, against what they said they would do.
Yeah you can't trust anything Bitmain says

Here's their Blog on the subject (yes I already read it back when they posted it)
https://blog.bitmain.com/en/what-is-bitcoin-cash/

--

What does this mean?

It means that a small % of the miners at Bitmain will be mining another fork of Bitcoin, called BTCCash, that no one else will be allowed to mine, initially.

Best mining solution? Ignore it.

Best Wallet solution? Make sure you control your BTC.

Yes, they are all telling me to pull funds of them but only if I'm interested in having both coins after the split, pretty much they are all saying that if the coins are kept with them they are saying that they won't give you another coin of BTC cash for every BTC coin that I you have.   

I've received pretty much the same message from Coinbase, Bitso, BitPanda, Volabit.  Here are couple of examples what they wrote me:

BitPanda

If you wish to hold Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, you need to withdraw your Bitcoins from your bitpanda wallet before 01:00 pm CET July 31, 2017. If you are not interested in Bitcoin Cash, no further action is required.

Bitso

Deposits, withdrawals, and trading of ETH, XRP and Pesos will be unaffected.
Bitso will not make BCC balances available. If you are interested in keeping the funds in the new BCC chain, you will need to withdraw your BTCs before July 31st at 8PM.

All of them saying that they won't support the coin BTC Cash.   So yeah I don't anyone should worry about the split, the BTC will still be BTC and this new BTC cash will be just added to the long list of Altcoins .  That is of course my opinion after reading up some info from different sources.  And yes i think it's the best idea for everyone to pool their BTC into their cold storages for now.

Re: payouts, I'll keep processing them for another day at least (30th) and then decide again if it's useful to put them on hold for a few days.
i.e. 478076 and 478087 will be processed as per normal.

Again, I don't really think it matters, since the issues with the fork are not going to lose anyone their BTC, which is really all that matters.
If any websites decide that they won't accept your BTC, well that simply means that you shouldn't use such a web site ... it is just BTC no matter what melodramas people want to create about it.
The fork should have no effect on BTC transactions, only a possible small reduction in global hash rate of whatever Bitmain might move to their fork ... which should probably mean a difficulty drop for the next 2 diff changes
