I have not been around long enough for 1 block.. so I would just be happy with 1 right now.  Maybe after I wake up I will see a nice surprise. or 2? :-P

Thanks Kano for all your work. If holding a small amount of 'dust' will keep BTC price going up, I am sure everyone will be willing sacrifice the 'dust' for big price assuming he owns more than the dust

Kano will hold your BTC if you don't provide an address, like he did for others in the past. He said he would send out 'dust' and held BTC by the end of this year.
Once dust is not dust any more

One thing I don't get about people who want to go to Antpoo, if you get a daily payout, won't you also pay $10 or more in transaction fees to get your payout? I actually would prefer the opposite. I would want a pool to allow you to keep your balance as long as you want until you think it is worth $10 to get your payout. Or am I not understanding how BTC transaction fees work?

I am not sure if Antpool allows for this by simply not  supplying a wallet address.

Btw, what happens here at Kano if you do not have a wallet address added? I somehow doubt your balance will be held for you. Not sure though.

Yeah still working on it - that's basically what I'm spending almost all my coding time on at the moment - will be early next year.

Got sidetracked with the October bad luck, where I ended up adding full share hashing and verification to KanoDB for all shares submitted, and also added block submission to KanoDB for all blocks found.
All that new code is 100% original by me to ensure it's a complete independent verification of the pool results - and of course will pick up any bugs/memory corruption if that ever happens in the pool code.

I'm sure anyone who has been waiting for 6 months or more for their dust will be glad they didn't get it and spend it back then

Just looked at BTC.com and found next difficult level will be increased by 18% in 6 hours. Does it mean the BTC price will go up another 18%

Just a question I havent been able to wrap my head around quite yet:

If I have been mining at kano from 11.dec until now, will the shifts I produced before this diff increase, get paid according to the diff when they were produced, or with the new diff?

Cheers

what do you guys meant when you talked about dust?

The 5Nd used to determine the reward, is the 5Nd when the block is found.

Thus yes any shares in the previous 2 weeks (previous diff change), that get rewarded after a diff change, effectively get devalued when diff increases (... it usually does)

This becomes a major issue (major loss) when mining in a small pool that doesn't reward a few times every diff change.
Hopefully we wont end up that small also

It is a bit bazaar that people mining elsewhere want higher fees though
The reason we have higher variance here is coz people prefer to pay higher fees elsewhere.
Oh well, them's the breaks.

Any rewards below 10,000 satoshi, and any rewards you get, if you ignore the Bold Red warning at the top of the page, about having not entered a payout address

This is what I am (finally) coding changes to deal with.

For most people this isn't really relevant, but if you're a tiny miner you may have lots of dust rewards that have accumulated.

website down?

website down?

I see that, hopefully this is what happens right before a block is found?  then another right after that

Website still up, just no data on top

thanks kano

variance is fraying my nerves!

Damn, this is bad for business! Means the work I put in from 10.dec gets ~18% less reward because we havent found a block since then? Thats about 600$ for me, if Im not mistaken!

Unless we find a block within the next 5 hours before the difficulty change.  PRAY!

Maybe I'm missing something but when I check here it looks like difficulty is going to drop. Either way difficulty is going to swing up and down, with a fairly steady trend upwards which has been more than matched in price.

I don't normally track this because I've come to accept there's nothing I can do. For opinion sake, which one do people tend to trust?

Wouldnt we need 5 blocks? We need 5 payouts per shift to get 100% PPLNS, or am I wrong?

That site has some major problems some months already, showing incorrect estimations.

Yes, welcome!  Hopefully not a failover from elsewhere though...
