Block-o-rama!  Now let's get the next one under 100% for parity!

@Kano

I came across this while mining solo on Kano.is.

"You can enable high difficulty on your Solo account if required."

At what point should a miner do this? Is this advantageous for a low hash power miner?

For a low hash miner, it wouldn't be advantageous.

If you were the gambling type, and wanted to rent miners for solo mining, most rental sites require a high difficulty of around 1000000 or more.

To do this, however, you need to do the following steps:
1) Already have a solo account - or create one now
2) At Account->Solo "enable high difficulty on your Solo account"
3) Run a proxy somewhere at difficulty 1000000 pointed to a worker of your choice on your solo account on the pool
4) In your account, set the difficulty of the worker to 1000000 on the Workers->Management page - the worker will appear as soon as you have started the proxy, if it didn't already exist
5) Stop and restart the proxy
6) Rental mine to the proxy

Note of major importance: you want the proxy to be in the direct line between the rental source and the node you mine to.
So e.g. if you had a rental source in West USA, you'd also create a proxy in West USA, between the rental source and either Phoenix or LosAngeles

As you increase difficulty on a worker, you increase it's variance.
Normally you don't touch difficulty, since the pool will set the difficulty correctly to allow low enough variance.

Thank you for this information.

only honest and none biased pool that is well connected in the backend. One day it will rise again!

[WinterParker]

I am going to check out this solo pool.   I didn't know this was still in action.  Using your forked cgminer as well, thank you for that Kano!

Hi,
When did this pool mined a Solo block last time? i looked at Last 108 Blocks an can only find pplns pool mined blocks back to 2018.

the pool has only recently added solo mining - I dont know the exact date but it was this year if I recall.

I registered kano pool.Account->settings led me back to homepage and logged me out,

Web site times out after about 15-20 minutes idle - you need to login again.
It's like a bank, but can often store more money than a typical bank account, so security is tight.

Edit:
I just checked your web access, and it would seem that your device isn't responding to the web server all the time.
It's getting a HTTP 408 happening each time you were logged out - which means there's some timing issue at your end replying to the web server.

I solved the account problem with my phone after a dozen relogs. Guess it had something to do with my SSR.
Can I join the discord group plz?Still have a lot of questions.
Having this question in mind all the time, just cant help to ask: If I want to tweak the cgminer a bit myself, I only need to do it within the cgminer package and upload it to the Pie, am I right? Or do I have to make a new image file?

Discord is probably having a similar problem?

When you connect to discord read the first pinned message:
Tell me (in discord) the Discord key from kano.is and I'll give your discord account a role.
That will stop discord timing you out of the channel if you are having problems.
However, you must be logged in to discord when I give you the roll, discord wont allow me to give you a role unless you are in the kanopool channel at the same time as I give you the role.

I could stay in the channel for a few minutes before getting booted.I'll keep trying to join, if you come across Ritz#7055, plz give me a role.

FFS Seriously!

I will Try this Pool @Kano - testing it to see how it goes.

Is there any hints on what I could do to Maximize the opportunity to help with HashRate here?

Machines are varied, but Mainly BitMain Antminers for the Time Being.

Any help would be appreciated - Stock FirmWare for the Time being on All Machines.

Hash rate is up to your miner
Though if you pay for an aftermarket firmware, they will take some of your hash rate, but most get blocked by the pool here.

Reducing stales is by mining to the closest node to you - see the list on the main page https://kano.is/
You can do a standard ping to them all except one: or.kano.is

Miners should point directly to the pool since going via somewhere else will increase latency, increase stales and have a higher risk of orphan or stale blocks.

If you have 2fa enabled, on the workers page you can see exactly where your miner is mining from and to, and can also see if it has connected with block version enabled (some call asicboost)

You posted asking someone for a list of other pools.
Do that in PM not here.

Thanks Kano ...

So actually publishing Names of other Pools is OK - but asking for them is not?

OK!

I will set a few test machines, but the firmware is stock so there is little I can actually do in terms of changes tothe FirmWare. Our devs don;t mess with FirmWare but We are looking at what makes it tick to remove any percentage based Miners - which is down the line here anyway, not in the near future.

Solo is interesting, as I have tried to Solo in various ways and have not had it work. I am obviously doing something wrong and will attend to that more at a later date also. too Many personal things going on with Health/Hospitalization.

@PhilipMa set a post that detailed points of interest in detail and that helped a great deal, even for a Veteran Miner like Me, in another Thread. I know this Pool may work differently to others, hence the request for More information, but overall it would be Nice to be able to Spread the HashRate over Multiple Pools and Systems without focusing on one. Unless of course it is a small HashRate that the Pool has anyway.

I will attend to this in the coming weeks @Kano.

Thanks Again!

Meanwhile, the pool is growing again.
Well 5.2PH of A1264 93+TH miners on PPLNS for the foreseeable future.
Lets see where this goes

Hey!

I just joined the solo pool with one machine right now.  I’ve set it using the informations on the home page (so did a copy paste from my accounr) and the worker doesn’t appear in the “workers list”.

My S9i is connected and hashing on the pool tho.  Solo mining if it helps.

Any ideas?

Edit:
So the stratum says “dead” while hashing, so I’d guess I’m hashing somewhere else?
I’ve tried the main stratum, phoenix, atlanta, and losangeles with the same results.
Stock S9i fw

Since you are running an aftermarket firmware that violates the cgminer license, it wont work.
Being the only main developer left and active on cgminer, I have (for many years) blocked such firmware on the pool
(as it says on the homepage)
