Does the pool have servers in different locations so that I can pick the closest one or do I just keep mining using stratum.kano.is ?
Thanks.
There's nodes at the locations in the topic.
So any of:
de.kano.is
sg.kano.is
jp.kano.is
nl.kano.is
(US is the main stratum.kano.is)
You can use any of the 3333,443,80,81,8080 ports on the end
e.g. stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333
What the nodes do is accept your shares earlier (if they are closer to you) so reduce stales, and also submit blocks locally to get them out sooner.
The shares are still accounted at the main node in Vegas, but for the time you submitted them to the node.
