Hi bro,

Thanks for pointing that out!

My main priority 0 miner configuration is set to stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333

I am from Malaysia. Where do i see the list of server? I can't find it on the main page of kano.is hehe

Looking forward for your reply!

Regards,
Kenny

The title of this forum contains all server prefixes (xx.kano.is) that you can use to connect to the pool. I would ping each one to find the best one for you (likely to be SG but could end up being JP or just stratum)
Admittedly, this forum is so large a lot of the details about the servers are buried here. Maybe Kano could explicitly add the regional servers to the first forum post?

>>> This pool also operates regional servers, try pinging each of the following to find the best for your location (recommended: may reduce block submission time and stale rate)
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333 (Western US)
stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333 (Eastern US)
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333 (Germany)
stratum+tcp://sg.kano.is:3333 (Singapore)
stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333 (Japan)
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 (Netherlands)

Thank you Kremit!!! Awesome!

Singapore's server it is! I have 40 ms there heheheh.

I'll be doing a pool restart in about 45 minutes to add a minor update to the pool, required for my KanoDB change doing block submissions.
This will mean a failover for all miners but with a failback straight back (and the 5 minute miner wait before it switches back)

Then I'll also update the DB about 10 or 15 minutes after that.
I'll post again once it's all done.

Updates all completed successfully, no problems (so far )

This update of the DB code includes the full hashing and block checking of every share that KanoDB gets from the pool code and submitting all blocks it finds also.
This is the code that I ran on the 63 day test run but with a few more changes to it since then (mainly the block submission addition)

So basically this duplicates the most important part of the pool code - but, as I've mentioned, it's all new code written by me so it gives a full independent 2nd verification of the shares and blocks.
Heh it didn't add much CPU usage to KanoDB - well a typical old CPU can do around 30MHs so since the pool is way less than that (but does roughly 10 hashes per share) it shouldn't have added much more CPU.

Gonna do another KanoDB restart in 10 minutes.
NO miners will be affected.

This tiny update adds the code to allow me to adjust the fee on a range of payouts.
It's set it to no fee from the next block after I restart ... so the sooner I restart the better for everyone
It's set it to end at 2018-01-01 00:00 - so for the rest of the year.

... and if anyone notices it gets it wrong let me know
The Miner Reward shown on the Rewards page should equal the Block Reward on the Blocks page from now til the end of the year.

Go find all your buddies with 10-50PHs and get them to come mine here

DB restart went all OK.
Mine on

All okay here, in good old Germany!

Hey, kano-san, could you please officially announce the no-fee promotion in a different post with no other info, so that I could announce it to some Russian-speaking communities and give a link to it? Some big guys don't speak English but probably will get interested in a no-fee offer.

I will also add the announcement to my small set of readers

Mine on, bunkies...

Newbie question: how do you count the payout hehe and also how do you guys liquidate your mined BTC?

Been mining for a few days now hehe

Common block!

Once you login to your account on kano.is the Rewards page shows you how much of each block found you earned as a reward, the payment page then shows you what payments were sent to your bitcoin wallet.

Make sure you have setup a bitcoin wallet to have payments sent to otherwise you won't get any. Lots of people forget to do that.

Also you won't get a reward until we find a block, and you won't get paid until that block has matured (thats after its had 100+ confirmations on the blockchain) even then you don't get anything into you wallet until the payment is confirmed either by us finding the next block or it being confirmed by other miners.

Also there is a ramp up and ramp down period called 5nd which currently takes about 21 days, so you won't get the full payment until that time, but if you stop mining for any reason it will keep paying out till it ramps down.

PS:   This may be a newbie question but:   Are there large "hired gun" mining farms that can help small pools struggling with a big bad block?    Just was wondering.  Seems like a nice niche for a big farm.  You know - some pre-agreed arrangement for share calculation and/or a premium?   If you had a couple dozen peta-hashes and some good management software to make the redirects easy then you could be a white knight and make a few dollars more than you would ordinarily and minimize the effect of bad luck for resident miners:  Seems like a win-win for everyone.  But then again this may just be my newbie-ness talking.

Me and my single 741 are for hire  (-:

I know in the past, Kano has paid for Nicehash rentals for exactly this. I'm not sure if he's still blocking those, since they were a suspect in some of the hell blocks.

Thanks for replying bro! Appreciate it!

Meaning to say, if we don't see any block found in 5 days, then we're not getting paid.. is that correct?

Thanks again!

Yep, you only get paid if a block is found.   Everything else is burning electricity.

Luckily I mine a little Ethereum on the side, just got enough to purchase a 10oz bar of silver It's the little things in life you know? At least I get something there while I wait for blocks here!

So COMMON BLOCKS! Let's get some!
