KanoPool since 2014 🐈 - PPLNS and Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2435 blocks

[WBF1]

Noticed some altcoin pools doing stratum with SSL in an attempt to prevent man in the middle attacks, etc. Has any thought been given to doing the same for kano.is? Presumably, cgminer and forks would need to be updated as well...

do we know what exactly is a hw error ? it makes no sence to me since only 1 board seems to get em out of 3

I believe most of my hw errors are from, temperature/fan timing, and network delays.
...

Network has nothing to do with hardware errors.
A HW error is internal to the miner - somewhere in the process of passing data from the chips back to bmminer, a checksum or counter is wrong.
Note also that Bitmain miners hide a lot of the hardware errors

yea seems alot hate bitman was jst curious why always on the first hash board if seen alot of people pics of the same issue alwys on the first hash board

Um ... that's facts I've stated there

I've posted about the issues with their code and also put in a public git updates to fix their code years ago - S1, S2, S3.
They do seem to have at least finally stopped hiding stale shares with the S9 ... since that also meant throwing away possible blocks

As for which hash board gets the most errors, well you'd need to take a much larger sample to be sure that there's a pattern there.
Remember there's probably at least 10EH of S9s out there ... i.e. probably at least 0.75 million of them

I have 2 S9s with the middle board getting the most errors and 3 S9s with the 3rd board getting the most errors.

good so everyone gets 1 broken board .

I'm calling 100% a little early to give the miners fair warning that it's been long enough.

Create the block already!!!

P.S. - I'm also calling it that this one has Sidewinder's name on it and this'll be the first 0.5 BTC giveaway reward!

Best of "luck"!

The probability of updating the million or so miners around the internet is probably zero.

However, someone can't steal your work, all they could do is invalidate it, which they can do on SSL anyway by simply corrupting the packet.
i.e. SSL basically wont help.

Yep, should be any hour now on this block, if we're going by luck.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.


MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN! BTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTC

So, what was up with the 37 minute shift? Did I miss something?

Diff change.
[2018-03-05 14:25:59.664+11] workinfo_add(): DIFF CHANGE: hi=512064 delta=9.42% new=3290605988755.0 prev=3007383866429.7

High yet again coz Bitmain's new miners are coming online in their data centres.

Also, could we add another to-do at the bottom of the backlog to put an indicator on the Shifts page when diff changes and restarts cause a shortened shift (similar to how you indicate blocks)? Thanks

That'd be a long way down the todo list

The shift itself doesn't know why it ended, and there's a list of reasons:
pool restart, diff change, halving, block, stale/reject/orphan
so that would involve a somewhat significant code change and a database change, thus why I've never done it,
and then a whole bunch of different indicators ... that really I doubt most people would care

There's already completed code that's in the live system since the middle of last year, that's just not activated due to needing more stringent testing, that completely redoes the shifts, so that they are always on network block boundaries.
It adds an extra level in the share summarisation, called blocksummaries.
(the posts about that are there somewhere in the thread early last year)
That's the major step needed to distribute the pool properly
(as opposed to the node hack done at the moment in ckpool that gets those 5 minute disconnects on 'rare' occasions)
Once that's done much later in the year, then remind me about it

I can smell it. I can feel it. It is almost there. BTC Block. Mine On With Kano-San.

Over the last several days, I've had portents of on-going good luck. Here's hoping I can spread it to y'all.  


MINE ON!!!

C'mon BTClock!!! It's gotta be close!!!

All probabilities point to today ... BTC dance!

[BSGMiner]

All probabilities point to today ... BTC dance!

Interesting way you phrased that... I suppose right around 100% would have the highest probability.

The goddess of probability is a fickle being ... the % shares can't predict a future event unfortunately

MINE ON!

Eh, I changed my mind. You've got more important things to do.

Thanks for the all the extra info on that, though.

[BSGMiner]

this one is looking really good
ill put my thinking cap on it asap

thanks for the effort

You're welcome. I hope you can take it from here.

So ... in an attempt to get some large miners on board
I'll post  this here now and then work out how to get the attention of said larger miners ...

10 BTC giveaway to LARGE miners

Any new miner, who joined this year, with NON-RENTAL hash rate - i.e. their own miners, who shows on the rewards page a "Your N Avg" of exactly 9.5PH/s or more -
yes a large miner - for any block that they find, will get a bonus 1 BTC block finder reward.

Yep, sure. Little humble miners (50 Th or more) are not deserve even 0.1 BTC block finder reward...

... and to get the attention of anyone half that size ...

Any new miner, who joined this year, with NON-RENTAL hash rate - i.e. their own miners, who shows on the rewards page a "Your N Avg" of exactly 5.0PH/s or more -
yes a large miner - for any block that they find, will get a bonus 0.5 BTC block finder reward.

Total rewards for a single miner are a maximum of 3 block finder rewards per miner.

Total BTC I'll be giving out will be 10 BTC i.e. a total of ten 1 BTC block finder rewards or twenty 0.5 BTC block finder rewards or a combination of both up to a total of 10 BTC limit i.e. if a total of 9.5 BTC has been given out, the last reward will be limited to 0.5 BTC.

The bonus 0.5 or 1 BTC block finder reward will not be taken from the block reward to miners - i.e. no miners will be getting paid less due to the block finder reward.

Yep, sure. Little humble miners (50 Th or more) are not deserve even 0.1 BTC block finder reward...

Well if you prefer the pool to disappear, fine, but I'm trying to keep it going by using my own BTC to get large miners ... which is what we need to do, to stop the pool falling into the depths of massive losses due to blocks spanning multiple difficulty changes - like ALL the smaller pools.

What I'm doing with the tiny 0.9% pool fees - is for the pool's sake, but is also my choice

You still get the fairest payout of all pools by mining here - lowest fees - no loss due to block finder rewards - no crappy payout systems based on share luck - even small miners get a reward here every time (not never, or every 2nd time - losing some of their small reward)

If you think you should be getting rewarded more, then you'll need to find some other (non existent) pool that does that

... also I fixed your quote to the current version of that

wow whata call lol

[AerialGopher]

Can someone tell me what the Per Th reward rate was for the last 3 blocks, please only let me know if you were fully ramped up, if you were not, the info is useless for me for what i want to do.
Thanks
You can PM me if you want instead.
