When did this pool mined a Solo block last time? i looked at Last 108 Blocks an can only find pplns pool mined blocks back to 2018.

I am going to check out this solo pool. I didn't know this was still in action. Using your forked cgminer as well, thank you for that Kano!

only honest and none biased pool that is well connected in the backend. One day it will rise again!

Thank you for this information.

I came across this while mining solo on Kano.is.
"You can enable high difficulty on your Solo account if required."
At what point should a miner do this? Is this advantageous for a low hash power miner?
For a low hash miner, it wouldn't be advantageous.I came across this while mining solo on Kano.is.
"You can enable high difficulty on your Solo account if required."
At what point should a miner do this? Is this advantageous for a low hash power miner?
If you were the gambling type, and wanted to rent miners for solo mining, most rental sites require a high difficulty of around 1000000 or more.
To do this, however, you need to do the following steps:
1) Already have a solo account - or create one now
2) At Account->Solo "enable high difficulty on your Solo account"
3) Run a proxy somewhere at difficulty 1000000 pointed to a worker of your choice on your solo account on the pool
4) In your account, set the difficulty of the worker to 1000000 on the Workers->Management page - the worker will appear as soon as you have started the proxy, if it didn't already exist
5) Stop and restart the proxy
6) Rental mine to the proxy
Note of major importance: you want the proxy to be in the direct line between the rental source and the node you mine to.
So e.g. if you had a rental source in West USA, you'd also create a proxy in West USA, between the rental source and either Phoenix or LosAngeles
As you increase difficulty on a worker, you increase it's variance.
Normally you don't touch difficulty, since the pool will set the difficulty correctly to allow low enough variance.
(about 1000 shares per hour)

Block-o-rama! Now let's get the next one under 100% for parity!

4. The Rem bot in discord reports as soon as my home bitcoin node sees a block on the blockchain with the word KanoPool in the coinbase.
Then I'll report in discord, some time after that, the console line that shows who found it.

So all 3 small pools hit in October nice.

So, I have a crippled S17 pro that doesn't hash at full speed and it's the last standing S17 pro of my collection, so instead of having to keep watching that gear on the primary pool I use, I "for fun" decided to give Kano.is a try just about a month ago, and Hoorah, I see some fat balance in my account. 
The amount this crippled miner made me on this pool is probably 4-5 months worth of mining on another pool (probably more, too lazy to do that math), anyway, this shows that joining a small pool can be very rewarding at times.
Congrats to everyone.

How do you know if one of your miners was the one to find a block?
Several ways:How do you know if one of your miners was the one to find a block?
For 1, my monitoring software tells me as soon as it happens
2, check your miner GUI - most will tell you if you found one
3, KanoPool lets every registered user know who found it. Just check the pool stats and the pool keeps full records of everything from day-1 of it starting.
Then I'll report in discord, some time after that, the console line that shows who found it.
Also, the web site will immediately report any shares that hash to a block level even if the network rejects them for any reason e.g. stale, orphaned
If you are logged in it says who found it.
If they are stale or orphaned I'll do an analysis of the cause and report the findings in full detail.
We've never lost any blocks due to pool software failure or pool management (negligence)

Quick question tho, I thought I remember seeing that BrainsOS does not work in your pool? I guess it is a proprietary software, so slush would want it to keep miners in theirs.

You can run that miner on solo mining here.Quick question tho, I thought I remember seeing that BrainsOS does not work in your pool? I guess it is a proprietary software, so slush would want it to keep miners in theirs.
...
The non+ version is also free to run.
It's restricted on PPLNS since no one seems to ever report if the code actually finds blocks, and like all the hack firmware out there, the developers aren't interested in testing it either, they leave that as a problem for the people who use it.

re: miner size and 'Luck'... As Kano said, each block is found by just 1 miner. I must add that it does NOT have to be particularly big/fast one.
2 years ago my "Lucky" r4 running 8-9THs found the third block in its lifetime by returning a diff of 151.7009T which is far beyond what is needed for any ridiculously high diff we will see in the at least near future. Hopefully many years out... Just goes to show it can easily be done with even a small miner if the miner software is working right.

The 'may not happen' is a misunderstanding of the statistics.
The most obvious point being that every block is found by a single miner around 100TH or less.
So if we assume that every physical miner is around 100TH everywhere on every pool (but in fact most are less than that) then 'may not happen' is the same as saying that since each miner is only 100TH, none may ever find a block.
Yet every single block, found every day, is found by one of these miners somewhere on the planet.
The issue with a small pool is the fact that the expected time between blocks can be large.
However, to change another misunderstanding in your comment, the expected time to the next block is always 100% from now.
(there is no 'overdue')
When we will get the next block is completely random, but ... read Help->Luck

That is an interesting point you make, every block is found by one miner. Even the top of the line 110+TH/s miners are still a drop in the bucket. I guess it's not far off from my thinking on lotteries. Buying 1 vs 10 tickets doesn't really increase your chances all that much in the grand scheme. Quick question tho, I thought I remember seeing that BrainsOS does not work in your pool? I guess it is a proprietary software, so slush would want it to keep miners in theirs. I do have 2 A841's I could point to yours still if those s9's wouldn't work for the pool

Well I will add, it did indeed take me a long time to finally payout all that dust that was owed,
since it involved a whole new accounting system on the pool,
and was also a long time for me to prioritise writing the software to pay it ...
since it didn't add up to very much until BTC price sky-rocketed so all that dust was worth a tuck load more when everyone got it
Anyway, it was done and the pool now has a payout level option also
(that probably allows lower than most if not every other pool)
but that you can make higher than the original low level.
Now we need more blocks to make that great new accounting system, with 100% proof of payment, more useful
