Oh yeah! That smooth, Block crackin' taste of king cobramining!!  Booya!  

-Mmmm, big juicy one at 14.89+ BTC  Yummy!

[rifleman74]

Even better: At any point in time, you can expect it to take +100% diff to hit the block no matter how much has already elapsed. No memory of the past, right??  

Yep, even the odds baby.  EVEN THE ODDS!

Common back to back to back!

Thank you Cobra!

So this last block (492,961), why is the size 998,181kb while most of the previous blocks were over 1MB and had more transaction fees. I have noticed most other miners are minting blocks over 1MB and wanted to see if Kano is limited.

Looking at the Blockchain our block was hit after only about a minute from the previous.  Not bad if you ask me, almost a full MB in a minute...

-Mmmm, big juicy one at 14.89+ BTC  Yummy!

Even though 3 days in, this puts our average for the month at .000173BTC / Day  / TH.  That is roughly 10% over last month's average of .000158.  Let keep the recovery going!!!

Many of the last blocks from Kano's pool have been under 1MB.  FWIW

As others have stated, it's because the block was 1 minute after the prior one.  "short" blocks tend to have less transaction fees.

Have a look at some of the prior blocks, referencing the block history on Kano's website, and you'll see the "longer" blocks tend to be very "fat" with transaction fees.

EDIT: like the most recent one for 14.89274489.  That's 2.39274489 BTC in fees.

Wow, that's pretty bad.  This month the expected blocks, to date, is 4.95, and so far there are 2.  And that's better than last month.

No what they are saying, and if you check blockexplorer you can scroll back through the history of every block we have found, that none of the blocks are over 988.01kb in size.

I guess the question they are asking is what are these >1MB blocks and how come we aren't mining any when other pools are?

However, I don't see these big >1MB blocks on blockexplorer as they are seeing them. https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/blocks/2

[Biffa]

OK I think I see whats going on here.

If you look at this block, mined by BTC.COM here: https://btc.com/0000000000000000001bc14d31cd78cba9af69b4ef9af8fac9f3aabb260658de

You can see the size is over a Meg but the stripped size is under.

Same for the raw data for the last KanoPool block here: https://btc.com/0000000000000000001e04433a329abe9308ce304f64da81e8ec1c9d3522308b

I was thinking the same thing.  Anything that looks > 1 MB right now is "virtual", using the last upgrade's technology, but technically is still within the 1 MB limit.

Yep, makes sense. That was my original question. Just odd that on BTC.com most other blocks are over 1M, at least appear that way. When you look at the details, they show stripped size and size. Did not notice that till now. Thanks for all the responses
