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

Hi Kano,

Any chance of setting up an instance for tubes like CK has on the solo pool or would it be too much trouble?

Thanks

I know a bunch of prism's that will most likely still not be worth a shit will be arriving soon

His changes aren't in git - but I presume they are just to mess with the stratum nonce sizes in the coinbase, since that's where the problem is with the tubes.
So to implement that would be to run two ckpools, one hacked and one standard.
However, ckdb doesn't support running two ckpool instances on the one host yet (that's a way off yet)

Maybe when they arrive a greater mind than mine will figure out a workaround. Possibly through a proxy, just looking for the lazy man's way.

I use bfgminer running on xubuntu on my old eeepc netbook as proxy with my 2 tubes. It's plenty stable, but of course requires another running device. My main gripe with the ethernet controller is lack of failover, as it works fine with the pools I generally mine on.

If it works fine with the other pools, it will also work without that proxy.
It's not something you can change in flight since it is part of the hash and when you hash something different, the pool wont like it

CKPool, on the other hand, uses a larger nonce2 so that it is possible to ckproxy almost an unlimited amount of work.
It isn't an issue for CKPool to have hundreds of thousands of miners with the proper ckproxy configuration ... using the current code.

Sorry - the pool is currently down.
There seems to be some major network problem with my server provider.
The pool itself is running, but getting to it over the past 20 minutes in next to impossible.
I'll update once it's resolved.

It's ok now.
Now I'll chase people down and find out why it happened.
Can't have that happening with a pool
That's the second time in a few days.

Great Pool , Great Operator, come join and bring lots of hash.
The hard work is done. Lets power through this block.
I just added another 6 THS.

Good Luck to All

I'm looking to move the pool itself to better (more reliable) hardware next week.
I've been informed by the current provider there will be ... another ... short outage in about 12 hours
Obviously this isn't acceptable for a pool, so I've worked out where I'll move it.
The move will be behind the scenes and I plan to do it without yet another outage - yep ckpool really is designed for uptime and stability.
... just I need more control of the hardware.

On another note, I've now added a worker.php for people mining with bitcoin addresses.
Again, the same output as you would see on the solo pool if you've mined there before.

If you mine to a bitcoin address, you can view a simple json user or worker level stat (using your own address) at:

Done and back online - hopefully no more interruptions - and as I said above - I'll be looking into moving it shortly and also should be able to do the pool move to a new host without any down time.

Saw the pool found a block a few hours ago,
did the full block reward got to 1 person ?
Is there something wrong....

[Cheeseater]

I would assume Kano is sleeping, but if we did find one YEAH!

I imagine he'll be awake in the next few hours. Probably will have to figure out everyone's share, so no it didn't all go to one person.

[bitwitt]

  congrats to everyone WE FOUND A BLOCK !!!!!!!
I joined the pool the 1st day and have been waiting and waiting. 

[wttbs]

Great news ! I am sure Kano will fix/process the payment soon. For me this is a number 1 miningpool and I will keep on mining here.

Yep, awesome work. The rewards are currently manually processed.

Do you wait for 100 confirmations before a reset on pool stats and a payout?

I'm not actually administrating the pool, kano is. Wait for him. I suspect the stats will look wrong on the first block, but of course you can't distribute the funds until the block matures anyway.

I'm sorry I get both of you confused at times, because I consider you both masters of the  Bitcoin world.
Thanks for the reply.

[kano]

Yep, the block is working its way to maturity
46 confirms when I checked a few minutes ago.
Almost half way to maturing before I can pay it out.

Just now looking at the stats and why it's showing wrong - but that doesn't affect the block itself - no problems with the block.

Being under 100% difficulty of course also means everyone who mined did well

[Cheeseater]

Indeed we did

A month of feathers, then two chickens in one day!?!?!

You know what they say about counting your chickens before they become orphans? KnC's mine made this second one an orphan.

Luck is like that.  Next block could take 6 months.  Or, it could be in 5 minutes.

Yep unfortunately the 2nd block today was an orphan

Seems we found it a second or so after an evil empire found theirs.

Blockchain sees us directly and reported them first so it means that indeed we were 2nd from the start of the race.

It's flagged on the web page as an orphan already.

I'm working on fixing the stats for the 1st one.

But we are still ahead
