Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1313. (Read 5352429 times)

I believe he does, since CGMiner is licensed under GPLv3. Not for modifying it without permission though, but for making modifications without releasing the new source. See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-cgminer-mining-software-thread-for-linuxwinosxmipsarmr-pi-4110-28402 (The CGMiner thread) Not sure if he plans on legal action against them, but if he was, I would think he would have announced it already. He's had contact with Bitmain too (see the statement about asking if he wanted to buy a S9)

@Kano, do you not have legal recourse against them for modifying your code without permission?

Well ... .... mining through nicehash reduces your reward by their 3% fee (yep more than 3 times the pool fee) and increases stales and slows down any block you might find getting to the pool, and their closed source software inspects every share/block that goes through their poxy and does who knows what with them.

As for your output:
Those block messages above are bitmain's usual screwing around with the main cgminer code and breaking it.

You are looking there at the results of bitmain's (so far) closed source hack of cgminer that they call bmminer
I've no idea exactly what they have changed in it and screwed up, since, like for everyone else, there's no sign of any s9 source code.

Well, at the moment you can't get a new S9 anyway...they're sold out (or at least they were when I checked earlier this morning). If I were LYT (the new owners of Avalon), I'd be busting my posterior to put out a competitor to best the S9. I'm waiting a bit to see what develops. Either the price will have to come down on S9s, or Avalon comes out with a 5TH/1400W machine that's around USD$1.5-2K...and the BTC world rejoices...and LYT makes a mint. 

Afterthought...I don't think LYT would have bought out Avalon if there wasn't something in the works.

@Kano

Since you are on the subject of the s9.  Here is a log of what my batch 8 are doing.  im getting a ton of rejects on nicehash and then thought maybe was low diff coin or somehting.. so i moved it here and its no better.  Could be that the first batchs test ok with your pool and now maybe they change something idk.. Here is the log from cgminer(bmminer).

Edit what stands out to me is why the network diff is only 48k?  Should be 213 g  correct?

Edit .. it seems to clear up after a random amount of time mining.  I also changed my diff on the workers tab to 10000 so that it wouldnt get bombarded with shares on connect.  I thought --suggest-diff in the password would do it.. cgminer showing correct network diff now.

I know there is no 100% answer. but since avalon was sold, I would think the new owners would develop a new and improved avalon 7,8,9, what ever.
 To compete with the S9s.  Do you think you could link them with the A6s?
I'm so confused, do I buy some S9s or wait for avalon to do there thing.

Yup....

Bitmain "stealing" cgminer codes and labelling it their own is totally unprofessional - IMHO.... but the fact remains - S9 delivers more hashing power at lower power consumption. I hope new mining hardware from other vendors can catch up as soon as possible and the break Bitmain's miner hw monopoly.

I had the same thing happen with my first batch of s9's one hit a block in 4 hours. My one and only block

Brilliant Citronick, then there is hope for all us that did purchase a bunch of S9´s before we knew they screwed Kano and Ck.kolivas and the Cgminer license....

All S9s, I am off rentals to do another project...  

That S9 was installed less than 24 hours ago!

Thank you cobramining and citronick for the blocks!  I went outside to clean out my old shed and when I got back in all is better on the Kano pool!  

Congrats Citronic with your block.... wonder if it was an S9, but it looks like you are more an hash renter, so you cant tell ?

good stuff , was getting red like the shining.

Glad we didn't that time either

Block by Citronick

I find it amazing that an S9 commissioned barely 24 hours ago has hit a block !!!

Don't think we have ever had back to back 400% blocks. Ouch.

... and an interesting but useless bit of information about that block.
We had a close share at 55.08%

0330 here...another sleepwalking thing, I guess...at least three of us are awake and see the block! More red, though...

Finally, now we've done our part to help with the diff drop, time for some multi block cracking action!!
