Haha! I do a lot of work at my computer and
I have a cgminer monitor running a U3 on my second screen so I can see real time pool notices. It's pretty easy to instantly see when we hit a block.

More power to you.
I tried to setup cgminer on a win10 laptop and could never get it to run correctly. It did show some info regarding the Kano pool, but nothing that seemed very beneficial to me. I'm sure it wasn't set up just right. (And I'm an IT guy who should be able to do these things!

)
I may try again sometime in the future to setup cgminer on a laptop on which I'm running Linux Mint. But just about any info I need is available from the Kano website.
P.S. I'm running a full, up-to-date Bitcoin Core node on another very-locked-down Win10 laptop. It's fun and I feel good about being able to help the BTC system run as well as possible. I always have at least 12-20 inbound and outbound connections with many GB transferred in and out.
Sure would be nice if node operators made a tiny % of all blocks found!

I'm sure if that was the case, everyone and their brother, cousin, mother, and friend would be running full nodes!!
Come on
BLOCK FRIDAY! Let the
GREENS rain down!!

Good luck everyone!!!
P.S. If anyone can send me a link to a very simple and fool-proof (I need that last part, LOL) method of setting up Cgminer for Kano on a Linux box, I would greatly appreciate it. I have read the threads and Googled all of that info, but much of the info was conflicting, outdated, or did not apply to me as I'm not running CPU's or graphics cards.
It would be fun to have a working Cgminer app running on my little Linux Mint machine.
