Ya I know it not chump change. and is still a nice chunk of cash commission for each block we hit. But a few paydays per day would be more beneficial to kano then just getting just one every few days like we have been having in this super bad luck streak.
I want to see him get a commission real freaking soon and then a bunch more right after to. :-)
I agree. That's why I said if there's indeed something wrong, I would speculate it's a technical problem with the pool (unlikely -- few people know Bitcoin as well as Kano), or there is some outside player messing with things for the sole purpose of destroying the pool. I can think of lots of pool owners who charge a whole lot more to be in their pool that don't want their suckers, I mean, miners coming here. M |
I mine at Kano's Pool because it pays the best and is completely transparent! Come join me! |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

What really sucks with this horrible luck is the upcoming 18% difficulty hike in a little over 2 days.  M From what I have seen on a couple of different websites is that the diff will DECREASE aprox 2% and not rise 18%. Anything can happen between now and then, but I'm hoping the decrease will be the reality. From Bitcoin Wisdom. Wouldn't stake my life on the accuracy, but it is what it is. Bitcoin Difficulty: 1,196,792,694,099 Estimated Next Difficulty: 1,165,184,333,132 (-2.64%) Adjust time: After 382 Blocks, About 2.7 days Hashrate(?): 8,456,939,156 GH/s Block Generation Time(?): 1 block: 10.1 minutes 3 blocks: 30.3 minutes 6 blocks: 1.0 hours Updated: when you check the difficulty go to 9 month graph there. somehow their 2 month graph is not working. about 20% up |

I'm 100% positive that like anyone else kano would like to see us get as many blocks as we can. More blocks means more btc for him out of his tiny .9% commission.
Do the math on the "tiny 0.9%" commission. 12.5 BTC * 5700 * 0.009. M EDIT: I'm not disagreeing with you... just pointing out tiny isn't so tiny anymore. Not really tiny in first place. But he also has to pay all the serverhosting, fibre connections for low latencies etc. Question @kano: Is the blockfinding in any way connected to the core client? The only thing changed in the last few weeks is core update to 15.x. Isn't this right? Okay beside the split. Sorry for this unqualified Question. This just came to my mind cause I updated my node to 15.0.1. Come ON BLOCKS!!!! |

Agreed! Right about now would be better than later!  . Maybe Kano has a couple more btc for another rescue team? Lol  |

Granted. Also, on average, it's supposed to be more than one block found a day too. M |

Looks like we got paid for the last three blocks though within the past 24 hours, that's good to see.

I'll answer that...no, Core doesn't affect finding blocks. It's your wallet, or if you're running a full node, you're helping process the mempool (the way I understand it). That's not mining. Anyway...I've been running a full node for a long time, and have been running 15.0.1 with no issues. Mine on! |
To infinity and beyond...on two 741s and one of only 3...nope, make that 4...full nodes in Hawaii...on <30A. (I have other gear on the Hoth ice planet)

From my observation our luck got really good when some miners had to shut down for the hurricane. It also got really good when Labrador had some electricity issues a few weeks back and was offline. I don't know anything about code, but could to much hashrate cause it not to be efficient? You threw a ton of hashrate at it and only got 3 blocks for the effort. I know a year makes a big difference, but 70 blocks at 33.55Phs last November. Math is not adding up, so lets think outside the box.

We are on page 1492. Columbus stumbled across America. Hell we should be able to find block.  |

Other pools did also grown 10% ~ 20% extra hashrate within last 2 weeks |

A big factor is difficulty. But it seems that more hashrate didn't bring good luck or less variance, especially with 2 very bad luck (~800%) out of 5. Some bigger pools (found at https://btc.com/) seem to have less variance in luck even within last 3 days. It seems less hashrate had less variance for this pool. From my observation our luck got really good when some miners had to shut down for the hurricane. It also got really good when Labrador had some electricity issues a few weeks back and was offline. I don't know anything about code, but could to much hashrate cause it not to be efficient? You threw a ton of hashrate at it and only got 3 blocks for the effort.

Well, just in case anyone gets upset about me not posting, here's a post  I know enough of the (non-rental) pool hash rate to know it's not a miner causing it, and I'm also looking into this from a few angles to make sure everything is running correctly. With half the hash rate rental and the other half miners, and the fact that we broke the last long block with a rental, it does leave it all in the realms of the most likely answer being that it is simply just bad luck. There's been no changes to the mining part of the pool code since I added the 🐈 to the coinbase (and only one massive change before that in the past year to include segwit and fix a 100% crash condition in the code) I did of course (in both cases) test the code and make sure it did produce valid blocks, so unless there's some bug hiding there in the mining part of the code for months of finding blocks, I can assume it's all OK on that front (though I am checking things on that front as well of course) The majority of the big miners are still around and that's what matters to keep the pool hash rate up, so anyone with theories about me causing it, that I've seen posted ... well ... yeah I'm not sure why I'd want the pool, that I've spent more than 3 years connected to it 24/7 every single day (except when some damn planes don't have working satellite wifi), to crash and burn ... ... ... |
