KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2437 blocks

[minergain.com]

Nice analysis.  

Do these numbers also take into account transaction fees as well?  I've been debating switching over to Kano for a while, but the day I was going to actually make the move about a month ago (12-Nov) it was a very volatile day with BTC price and I saw slush continue to get blocks as Kano just had bad luck.  Luckily I didn't move and I realized that even though it's all luck when it comes to mining there's a benefit to being in a larger pool when volatility is high.

Yes, that is with all fees included at the  Pool hash rate for every block, so if slush does not fudge their fees, it is accurate.

[kano]

Something is not right it's been a week and more and still now no blocks.
I wonder what is going on ?
Even pools with lower hash rate got blocks but not us in this Kano pool, maybe something out there happening.
But we are here mining hoping for the best, pray for the best.

We've seen this before, really hoping this is not another 800-900% block, as that will go to the middle of January at this hash rate.  

I can't afford that.

M

Not many of us can.  I know it's luck but that won't pay the bills.  So we just need to crack this biotch NOW!

I was thinking if there is a DDOS attack on the web server, why wouldn't the same people be doing that to the stratum server, OR some other attack where that server connects to, delaying stuff for kano pool?  I don't have that much knowledge of how all that back end systems work so I can only speculate.  I just find it hard to believe that someone will DDOS a web server that displays data to the users, and NOT? attack the stratum server or some other service/device that will affect the probability of a block.

Please don't suggest to those morons do things that actually matter
Hackers DDoS web sites ... that's usually as much as they know.
The web server is a completely different server, for that reason

... and we have more than 10 servers they'd have to DDoS to stop the pool.
Though there's more than 20 in all, all around the world, with 5 main different providers and 5 others

Edit: this is also why large miners can get access to white listed servers, or I can setup a server for them, in the case that these things did ever happen ... touch wood

[VRobb]

You said "touch wood"...  
But seriously, you noobs got to settle the F down.  This is BY FAR the best pool to mine on not just for the txn fees but the fact that kano-san himself, one of the guys who literally wrote the book on mining software for both the mining side and server side that keeps the OG BTC alive, runs this pool and lets us all know if anything is going on asap.  As Sonny points out, if Kano-sama isn't telling us somthing's up with the pool, then NOTHING IS.  End of story.
Keep calm and mine on.

ahahah  I had a good laugh.  Get angry..  its just discussion.

I used to see the 5ND section in pink in the shift graph, now it’s no longer there. Is it gone from everyone’s or just mine?

Not angry, just tired of the latest noob du jour chiming in with the usual uninformed musings of 'something wrong' yet again.  It's not a dabate, that's all, don't get angry...

it's gone...next 5ND starts it all over.

It just means that the 'start' of the last payout 5Nd is off the left of the graph.
The end of the last 5Nd is still there - which is when we last found a block.

The pink area is the last payout 5Nd range.
Currently, drawing that requires the start to be in the visible data range.

what do you guys meant when you talked about dust?

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.

Thank you sir kano for the information

Another question, if you start mining with a BTC address only, and decided to register to kano.is website, is it as easy as moving the BTC address to the registered account? and all data will transfer there?

No.
They are 2 completely separate accounts.
I don't have any process to combine accounts - but that would also require me to have an easy way to ensure the two accounts are the same person.
It's a lot safer to simply say, no you can't combine accounts ... and thus I don't have to write something to do it either

I don't know if here is the right thread to ask, but I having some problems to connect wifi when the network is down.
I'm using the crontab job to reboot every 2hours, but some times the wifi network isn't connecting automatically, and need check network connection every 5min after reboot.

I'm using ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS
The script to check wifi network is:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
x='ping -c2 google.com 2>&1 | grep unknown'
if [ ! "$x" = "" ]; then
        echo "It's down! Attempting to restart."
        service network-manager restart
fi

and added to crontab with

Code:

*/5 *     * * *     sh /sbin/wifi.sh

but it don't working.

Please if I misstaking some code, tell me the best way to do.

P.S: I just want to stay connected with the pool, without going there and restarting manually, I also do maintence via ssh, but without network  it's sucks.

[kano]

I'd suggest to try:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
ok="`ping -c 2 google.com 2>&1`"
res="$?"
if [ "$res" != "0" ] ; then
 sleep 10
 ok2="`ping -c 2 google.com 2>&1`"
 res2="$?"
 if [ "$res2" != "0" ] ; then
  echo "Failed twice ... res=$res res2=$res2 ..."
  echo -e "Ping1:\n$ok"
  echo -e "Ping2:\n$ok2"
  .... your preferred restart ...
 fi
fi

Holly code, that's working better now! Tottemo arigatou Kano-san.

If someone were to switch accounts at any time within their 5ND ramp up, fully up, or ramp down time, it seems to me their combined financial situation would be identical to not switching. Is that correct? Only thing different might be if they opt to payout to two different wallets in the transition which would double up on fees. But if they leave the new wallet blank until the first account fully ramps down, they would be fully equivalent?

Am I understanding the math of 5ND and multiple accounts correct here? Or is there some overhead to switching accounts?

The total reward would be exactly the same.

Your reward in any block is based on your "total share diff" in the last 5Nd.

If that "total share diff" is on 2 accounts, the total reward of those 2 accounts will be the same as if it was one account.

The catch is that there will be twice as many payout transactions during the ramp down/up - the length of that ramp being: 5Nd pool shares submitted by everyone.
The other minor catch is that during that ramp down/up, if you are a small miner, you are more likely to get dust at the start of the ramp up of the new account and at the end of the ramp down of the old account.

... I'm still working on that new accounting/payout code

Just for knowledge, the Network Manager is worse with wifi connections, but you can replace with Wicd that's look work better on wifi connections.
