... Yes, I probably won't go down the road of usernames because my site would be subject to attack. ...
If I wasn't obvious in my previous post: yes anyone would be insane to give their login details to anyone else. ... So if the API won't offer past payments fur the miner, then that info won't be offered. But I still will be able to offer alerts for miner problems which is also valuable. So could I use my hash rate and kano payment to compute other miners payments based on the hash rate ratios that their miners generated? ...
An API for rewards may exist some time in the future, but it is certainly not a priority, there are much more important things being done, required to be done, and planned to be done. But polling an API for rewards would also be pointless - since the API would only change once every time we find a block. You known when blocks occur. You can even work that out without even accessing the web site or the pool or even mining. I do at home for IRC and my own notifications, though of course the pool gives me notifications as well, but the more obvious point is that any site that shows blocks that is in any way useful also knows who finds the blocks by the majority of the pools by looking at the coinbase transaction when a block change occurs. But, the math you use to calculate information is up to you.

I'm wondering what is the actual status of our luck or block finding "problem"?
Did you find something particular while doing your research? Or are we officially back to normal?
Sorry about spreading half knowledge, but was our stale block last time a "problem" of latencies in any kind of way?
COME ON BLOCKS!!!

That's 2 different things ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The checking I'm doing for the bad luck that showed up as two blocks around 900% isn't complete - that involves analysing a whole month of data logs ... I'm still working on it. A stale is simply (as I mentioned) a share that gets to the pool late. If you look at the web site you'll see that 0.6% of shares do that: the shares you send to the pool that are rejected as stale. If one happens to be a block, that's what happened.

Like I said. Just playing around with my half knowledge. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) So 0.6% "stale" shares are pretty low, if I remember earlier postings here. Okay. About your Log analysis...this sounds really horrible work to do. I hope it's worth it and you'll find anything interesting or helpful. Thanks for all this!

As I may have mentioned along the way, I've only been into crypto for about 3 months, so I hope everyone excuses my stupidity - and thanks for the insights Kano. Yes, I am totally convinced that passwords should never be given out - ever - unless you dont want your mining rewards of course! That is a great idea to monitor the blockchain directly. It looks like blockchain.info has an api to get json info. Is that the best source? I have always firmly believed in reducing traffic to sites as much as possible (including my 14 year internet based digital signage business) and since I will be offering monitoring for multiple pools, that makes the most sense.
I may be able to estimate the reward based on the hash rates reported and I know which block you are mining and can get the value from blocktrail.com or blockchain.info - is there a better source than others? Also out of curiosity, I ran our current block 492189 and it is saying that it was mined by BTC.com. So is BTC.com the better place to get information? I almost wonder if I should set up a full node since all details would happen real time - but then there is the space and bandwidth issue to serve other nodes. I will also be monitoring half a dozen other coins initially, so that also adds to the difficulty. I have never done (or heard of) IRC before the last couple months. Is that another way to get the information without polling (my base server is a LAMP stack vm on centos)?
Thanks again for your insights Kano - and if you think this is not worthwhile, let me know that too. I do see that the other products mentioned have a cost and likely require more technical expertise (obviously more info too). But it may not the best fit for small miners like me just getting started.

though of course the pool gives me notifications as well
Is it possible for us to get notifications from the pool when blocks are found without 3rd party software like Awesome Miner?

I do have and use the CKPool app so I get alerts on my iPhone but sometimes my phone is MIA. So I was wondering if there was an email alert that could be setup.

We're up over 100% again right, just judging off the blocks page on kano.is

We've got thousands of feral chickens here on Kaua'i Island...so I can sacrifice until the block gods burp up a bunch of blocks...and, being a couple of clicks from the USN's Pacific Missile Range Facility, this is certainly the apropo manner of offering... ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FHiVYVpL.png&t=665&c=c0MVaeup-n7tEA)

Just switched my 3 miners to use nya.kano.is instead of stratum.kano.is after doing a ping and finding I got about 30ms returns from nya while getting 75 ms returns from stratum.

Just make sure to use the stratum as your 2nd pool. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Just like I said! Because of the stale block we will loose another 10ph and we did.
