Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1128. (Read 5352229 times)

LOL my monthly bill is that of 5-7 neighboring households combined. 

Okay. I guess I understand it a bit better now.
Hopefully we can pull in some more hash power and maybe keep up with the diff increase.
I think the only people that are making REAL money is the power companies.  They must really love us.

yeah, cuz f@%k me and my 2.7 LNs, right?  

Well the pool doesn't send shares, it just sends 'random' work to 'miners'.
Sending out more work has no effect on anything but bandwidth.
At some point that does effect things if the pool is silly enough to support botnets of CPU/GPU mining - but I don't so it doesn't matter.
Anything under a few hundred GHs is pretty much a waste of time, but that's not related to CPU/GPU mining, so I (usually) just let them alone.

I'd think anything under 300gh is a waste.

With today's miners speed. What would be considered outdated equipment? 
I ask this because it just seems to me sending shares to equipment that is real slow pulls everything down.
We have 87 users under 1th. Of those, 7 of them are under 10.gh.   13 range from 90.gh to 10.26gh.  18 range from 430.gh to 100gh. And 49 1th to 430gh.

I randomly go and ban CPU/GPU miners - but haven't for a while.
They cause wasted bandwidth that will just about never produce a share.
Not gonna affect the luck - just wasted bandwidth.

Is the pool being dragged down by sending shares to GPU  miners? Wouldn't it be better to send those shares to faster miners?

Or, it could just be that they were a pile of shit not ready for production... 

BDR is effectively how many blocks they are expected to have found.
Block Diff Ratio

Yep S9v1 has indeed lost a lot - the most on this pool - 23.7%
Almost at the point where it would be hard to argue that it's random ...

I got out of BTC pool mining after the drop in luck throughout the net after the S9 release. I'm sad for the people still mining though , hope somehow it recovers for you all.

I don't mean to be rude but to believe this "conspiracy" requires ignorance about how mining actually works.  My miners could supply the solution share that was high enough difficulty to make it "a block" to anybody in the world, but it would really only be useful to the pool that sent my miner the work, because only that pool has everything else that is required to make it an actual block on the network. Miners don't work with all of the actual data that comprises a block, if they did, the bandwidth required for mining would be enormous and it would essentially make pool mining pointless anyway.  The full block data also includes the payout address or addresses.  The solution share is only a solution for the specific data the pool is working with, meaning the specific set of transactions, including the payout transactions.  So in other words, a "block" on the miner side is only an actual block on the bitcoin network when you have both the specific transaction pool (which the mining pool has and which is constantly changing as other bitcoin blocks are mined and new bitcoin transactions are made) and the solution share (which the hardware miner finds).  So again, the solution is only a solution for the pool that provided the work.  You might have some confusion based on the fact that it is common to talk about how a miner finds a block when in fact what the miner finds is a solution share to a set of data that only the pool has.

If you want an actual conspiracy idea then ponder the notion that the firmware is dropping certain solution shares instead of submitting them to the pool (whether by design or by accident).  You can't directly help another pool that way but you could hurt the pool you are on (and if you are a hardware manufacturer who also runs a pool then you can sell these miners to your competition and hurt them).  This is why that data that Kano posted is useful.  S9 firmware with BMminer v 1.0 appears unlucky.  So the only question is, how likely is that luck?  The recent luck on this pool has certainly deviated into the realm of unlikely but is it unlikely enough to say something is definitely amiss?  It's pretty unlikely that your life will come to an end due to the actions of a crocodile, and yet some humans do meet their end that way.  Even very unlikely things happen.

One thing to note, new firmware for S9's that includes BMminer v 2.0 does work on the old miners (assuming the firmware upgrade succeeds.)  BMminer v 2.0 does not appear unlucky in Kano's data.   But of course this is only data from one small pool.  BMminer v 1.0 might have average luck when a larger data set is seen.

We go through this angst-ridden experience whenever we get a bad luck run. However, it's still the...

Good point. I was almost thinking of jumping, but the more I read about other pools, the more I think that I made a solid decision with mining in this (kano.is) pool.
Cheers to more Blocks everyone!

Exactly this, plus slush's pool fee is 2% compared to 0.9%, this over a long period of time accumulates to a pretty significant sum. Plus I'd rather my fees go toward someone who contributed and still contributes to open source BTC mining software.

kano.is for life

I'm not offended in the least, I'm just totally over (and have been for well over 6 months now) hearing how we need larger block sizes AND Bitmain is ruining Bitcoin with empty blocks. I can see the claim that x is a result of y; however, if the push is that sizes need to increase, Bitmain is helping push it in that direction (if in no other way than showing people the perils of transaction latency). We are in a realm where democracy rules and if the majority of people wanted it to change, it would; bitching about it while presenting no alternative solution to offer Bitmain's competitors, by way of an option of orphaning empty blocks, is nothing more than pissing into the wind and ranting about having pissed on your leg.

Dumb to you maybe.  But very important to me and how I see the btc network. Maybe I could have done without the poo poo talk. Very childish I agree. Sorry if I offended you in some way. Don't take it so hard.

A 3800TH/s rig would be nice though. 

I must be coffee drunk ! Yes you are correct 3800GH/s .... Oufff

Your correction is also wrong.  Your are getting 3.8TH/s... or 3800GH/s.  you most assuredly are not getting 3800TH/s from an A6.
