@mikeywith:Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate your thoughts. Your suggestion is justified. We had already talked about this in the original post in the German subforum,
CoinEraser also suggested that.
I had thought about that as well, I think Willi would certainly support that as well. I also thought about a solution of using MultiSig with Willy together and stuff like that. However, following
dilemma remains: Because with an escrow service, I would never get the opportunity to build up my trust status step-by-step. I would always be dependent on third parties and the trust in me would not grow a step through it, regardless of whether we hit a block or not.
I just have to go through it and hope for trust. I can't force it in any case. Hopefully, some will dare to do so because of the low stakes. I myself hope of course that we will solve a block some day, on the one hand because I wish it anyway, but above all because then I will get the opportunity to prove whether it was right to put trust in me. So if we get the first block hit and I pay out all members, the trust would increase very strongly and rapidly, we are talking about high amounts after all. In such a case, of course, I also wish that the corresponding winners leave a positive feedback on the boards trust system. On the other hand, I could also be a bad boy and in case of a block hit I would keep the reward myself and never show my face here again. Yes, everything is conceivable, and as a participant you are right to worry about that. However, due to the low stake of 0.001 BTC, the risk is very very small. I think that's why the response was so great and it started very well so that the boat was quickly full. Without trust, of course, this does not work. Therefore, I had also stated in the disclaimer, if someone has doubts please do not even join.
At this point I can only emphasize once again that I run this time-intensive project with the best knowledge and conscience and will do everything to make everyone happy. I try hard, I like to learn and I am open for everything, also for criticism. Members from the German forum may be able to attest that I am very dedicated and have a steep learning curve. I hope that I can continue to make a positive contribution to this forum and that this will make some of us happy with a potential win.
Nice detailed thread, perhaps you should sum it up, you know, we human beings nowadays don't seem to have enough mood to spare on reading long threads.
I would like to present everything as clearly and transparently as possible to those who are interested, so that no questions remain unanswered. Otherwise, I will be confronted with DM and recurring same questions. By the detailed explanation and description, the interested person can divide the time and read through if interested or not. This is not intended for someone who has no time to invest for reading and understand what this is all about and how things work. I myself would not send bitcoins to a complete stranger without knowing the details. Everyone is different, some want to know only superficially, some with details. I prefer the latter, because that covers both sides
Well, we've been running a fun run like this on kano.is since early in the year (0.0006 per person x 10)
The main difference is that on kano.is you get to see all the stats, not just 'at the moment' with no history and the false luck stats of that other solo pool and it's false claim of anonymity.
Of course I don't want large runs like willi on kano.is coz gambling 10's of thousands of dollars per run is not what I'm interested in helping people do, it's a fun run anyone can get involved in, like getting a cheap lottery ticket, not desperate gambling.
And willi's claim that he can ignore a run that didn't get a block, to make his stats look better, is dodgy at best.
(if it did get a block, guess what, he would have included it)
That is once again typical Kano.
Trying to talk others down in order to present hisself as the hero in a kind of advertising campaign.
@kano:In dozens of your posts, you attack other pool operators and complain that their advertising claim "direct mining anonymously with an own Bitcoin address" is a lie and misleads people. You have already received
a very accurate and true reply that hits the nail on the head. By the way, CK speaks clear and transparent words on the bottom of its
website:
There is no need to worry about passwords, logins, withdrawals, authentication or pool wallet hacks. You remain anonymous apart from your btc address.
Everyone knows that in Bitcoin you are not anonymous but pseudonymous. Despite this, I prefer to mine with my own address on a pool and know that any profit would be transferred directly to the address I provided. Correct me if I'm wrong, but on your pool you can't mine directly with your own address but any profit goes directly to a bitcoin address controlled by you -->
1Cz6q6YqxmXbV8aFnQKFftMykFFBdt1Jtw. If you die in an accident or something else bad happens, your users would have a long time to hope for their profit payout. And as for the "anonymity" issue you always try to pick on, if I'm not mistaken then you require your users to create a Discord key so you can exclude them from the timeout limit which you created where they get kicked when not identified. The user who registered on your pool gets an ID from your website and you unlock him for Discord use. So you have a direct assignment of all your Discord users to the corresponding account on your Kano website. Masks down, right? So I don't understand why you are trying so hard to defend the word "anonymity" when you yourself are doing everything you can to break it. We all know you have personal disputes with Con Kolivas (CK pool). I would politely ask you, in the interest of all forum users, to keep your personal differences with -CK- to yourself and not hijack and abuse other threads with content about CK and his pool to do so. I hope and thank you for your understanding.
@jbrogan:Thank you so much for joining. You're registered and ready for rounds #002-006. Welcome on board mate!
EDIT1:
@all:While I was typing this, we have a new best share on run #001 ==> 2.52
T 
EDIT2:
Hello cadets, it was nice that you flew with us. I hope you enjoyed the flight even though we didn't hit a block up there in the universe
Finished RUN #001 started on 04/Nov/2022 04:07PM (UTC) with 2.5 PH/s for 20h38min, finished on 05/Nov/2022 12:45PM (UTC):
best share --> 2.52 T (exact value = 2,524,747,400,019.633) at Bitcoin difficulty 36.84 T, transmitted TotalDiff (Shares*ShareDiff) = 41,599,000,000 (41.6 G)
These stats are posted in
post #2 and will be kept up to date there for future runs. We didn't mine a block, but our best share of 2.52
T is more than respectable for our maiden run. Scored a
T right in our first round. Let's hope for more big T's and preferably in double digits and even better starting with a 4
Round #002 is open, there are slots left. Let's go people, let's venture into the next round to solve this block
