Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1034. (Read 5352445 times)

I admire the morality and transparency going on in this pool. A lot. Including those providing the support. The amount hash power of this pool is no where near where it should realistically be from an overall comparison of pools.

It seems the general miner community prefers the PPS negative payment structure with the pool pocketing the transaction fees that are greater than the reward payout. At least, it seems that way for now based upon pool network percentage shares.

Is there any effective way to offer a better deal than some of these pools, like Antpool, while you keep the transaction fees if desired by the miner?

Just thinking if you offered your current pool structure and the alternative structure that people seem to be flocking towards, you could show transparency in both and offer links via the dashboard to both styles. Similar to what some pools do anyhow, yet with your much more transparent statistics. One could even show a breakdown of what they would have earned on the alternative payout structure for comparison.

People, seeing a dashboard where one side keeps the fees and the other doesn't (with a comparison), may help education the mining community. And, given the success of these pools pocketing transaction fees, it seems some education is very necessary.

I like the much more open payout structure at Kano. I also recognize the miner hesitation to join when seeing last pool block 37 hours ago. Even if that number is purely psychological from a payout standpoint. My thoughts are there must be a way to combine both the quality and transparency of Kano with the tactics of larger pools that are clearly dominating the overall network.

I'm certain many people would want to help support this pool with such an endeavour, from back-end work to helping with other methods like running social media accounts. Of course, this all boils down to the real question: Is there an interest here in proactively growing?

We were getting 6-7 blocks a day sometime when we had a pool hash rate of the mid 30's. The good ol days!    

NYA 🐈 node back to life, and mining resumed on it at 18:46:18 UTC

No since that will add latency to mining - more stale shares and more stale blocks.

IMO, much of Antpool's hashrate comes from the same thing that gave Internet Explorer such a large market share: The "average" person just doesn't know any better.

Kano, nice to see how active you are on this thread!

Have you considered adding an onion address to the pool frontend and even offering an onion address for mining?

It doesn't show the trailing zeros.
So in this case it's 4.00T

hashrate1m, hashrate7d and bestshare will be zero coz I changed it when I switched to the new server setup.
It used to just display the ckpool text files on the server (10s of thousands of them )
It now generates the file from CKDB which doesn't track bestshare (and probably never will since it's a meaningless random number) and doesn't pass hashrate1m or hashrate7d through to the web site.

ckpool doesn't use any form of database, just zillions of disk text files it updates all the time ... which I should remove from the code since it is a major I/O bottleneck when you have a real pool with lots of users and workers.
