KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2438 blocks

Had to restart KanoDB urgently - an issue with the share checking getting bad results.

No effect on mining at all.

KDB restart will complete in a few minutes.

Had to restart it again.
There's a problem with the data the ckpool is sending to KanoDB - corrupt share diff values (it's reporting them also)
Would seem that someone has found a way to make ckpool screw up
KDB was reporting every single one of them and thus truck loads of messages on the console.
I had to stop those messages, so now it's all ok again once this 2nd restart completes.

Again: No effect on mining at all.

KDB restart will complete in a few minutes.

I found who was causing the problem.
Someone thought it would be a good idea to edit that crappy miner that stole the name I came up with ... bfgminer ... and they hacked up their reply to the pool to always return crap.
Their IP is now banned forever from every server and their account closed since they've been doing this for a while it would seem ... never having actually submitted a single valid share in 1.5 months.

what a putz, that's cool you figured it out. What was the pivotal discovery?

Little question:

My 140TH brings in about 0.022BTC a day on most pools I have joined. I know how things work on KanoPool in general, BUT in coin terms on a day to day basis, over say a monthly term, what would the difference be with all things even please?

Worse, same  or better?

Thanks Paul

I'm pushing about 150TH/s and my BTC/day/TH was 0.00021122 for December.  That would be about 0.02957080 per day for 140TH/s.

I'd say better here.  Getting the transaction fees and the lower pool fees makes a difference.

Well it was just a case of tracking back the error message to the miner that was causing it.
Though I wont go into details of the actual code change he did

Well, his efforts provided you with an opportunity to strengthen the software.

Please tell me this guy who was submitting non valid shares did not get paid for this?  Ie as part of the pool finding blocks.

If he did, please let all the hackers know his IP address. :-P

No - invalid shares mean they aren't valid i.e. no reward
The IP is at the University - which is now completely blocked.

I guess I might get a quick answer from this forum. My question is whether/when/how to pay tax on mined BTC. IRS requires tax for any gain even from garage sales.

I was searching for " Email notifications" and came across this link on the forum...

I am a bit confused, what is this, and why are the rewards on the same days, but not for the same amount?

Anyone seen it before?

* Note, the rewards are listed the same days as KanoPool.. Thats why I am confused.

It's listed in the first post - Zach's 'web app' for the pool.
Uses your API to get your stats but also allows you to paste in your rewards page.

It's a great monitoring and notification tool; along with the iPhone (Apple) and Android apps written by others for this pool.

As Kano said, look on the first post of this forum thread and you will see all 3 listed.

And this, my friends, is why so many of us mine here and will never mine anywhere else. Master Kano is always on top of it and keeps us well informed. Thanks Kano!

Mine on! 

[muscarina]

Thank you, Kano-san, I think that's make our comunnity more strongest on mining concept.

[gogostar]

does 5nd means i will get full payouts after 5 blocks is found? (if expected 10 blocks per months= cca 2 weeks?)
or i got it wrong?
Thank you

[VRobb]

The 5Nd is based on shares, not blocks.  We could find more than 5 blocks within a 5Nd period, which is a bit over 15 days right now...  So after 15 days of mining you should be fully ramped up.  But indeed if luck holds at 100% then 5Nd=5 blocks found during that time.
Mine ON!  

[gogostar]

thanks. i used to mine on kano pool but i had to leave because electricity bills were killing me in bad months (£0.15/kWh rate)
I think it's time to go back to Kano pool now
