rentals are cheap today boys. get them while you can.

I'm not sure 0.0027/0.0028 is cheap anymore after the diff change (I'm showing those as 0% and -1% after the fee).  We've pretty much adjusted downward to match what 0.0029 and 0.0030 were.  I did get a few 0.0026 bites today, but they were brief.

I ran the numbers on my rentals and I'm now up BTC0.76 since I began!  Shocked  Nice!

Look at that freaking pool distro chart!  We are above bw.com who is over 90PH!  Almost to bitfury and their 12PH containers with chips they won't share.  You can always tell the best pool by the size to distro ratio IMO.  We have had that top spot for months.  That means here you are getting the best bang for your coin.  Top of the hill

I'm not interested in increasing fees.
I am still looking into china node options.
... as long as they are reliable and don't charge silly fees - then they are an option.
I've tried a few so far and each time I find I'm dealing with morons Tongue
Still looking ...

As for trying to entice larger miners with reduced fees ... well ... that's already the case - our fees are the lowest for any medium/large pool since we include all the transaction fees also.
I avoid saying this as much as possible, but yeah luck here is good ... who knows if that will continue ... it has only averaged good for 1.5 years so far ... ... ...

Meanwhile ... yay 12 blocks in 1 day + 16 minutes ... and the hash rate is ... at the low end of the 30-40PH range ... oh well Tongue
We've had the hash rate at the high end of that 30-40PH range, so it's not like no one knows about the pool ...
(the 52PH high was from a failover)

kano - have you tried HK node instead - not sure if HK is spared of GFW being a business hub.

btw, I counted 6 orphans since birth of kano.is, 6 out of 792 blocks is miniscule so those orphan races will always be there - whats important is blocks and random luck factor, no?
Yes we have an HK node.

Yes the 6 orphans is small, but making it smaller would of course be better Smiley

Though indeed, looking at the pool luck, just, e.g. the last 250 blocks, of those 250, 111.56% means that we found 25.9 extra blocks i.e. we expected on average to find 224.1 blocks, but found an extra 25.9 (224.1 * 111.56% = 250)
So indeed the luck so far has WAY over-compensated for the very low orphan rate.

Meanwhile ...
I felt the urge to record this for posterity ... until we reach that mark Smiley

Sorry if it sounded like I was saying the pool had a high amount of orphans, that is certainly *not* something I believe.  I was just trying to bring up the possibility that there could be times where it might be very expensive for Kano to pay for improvements/equipment/whatever at the pool.  However, if the pool paid for the improvements, the benefits could outweigh the cost.  If an improvement cost $1,000 per month and brought in $2,000 more a month, it would be smart for the pool to pay for it, but insane for Kano to pay for it.  I just want to deal with any situations that might fit that description.  He was talking about getting some more equipment behind the GFW and I could see him footing the bill for things like that being relatively expensive for him to pay for, but a great deal for the pool to pay for.

Overall, Kano has done an amazing job.  I just want to make sure he has all the support he can use.  Especially when other people are talking about he should reduce his fees, that is nonsense.

Hi guys,
I have an S3 that solved a block at the yesterday party.
The luck color is dark red at the blocks page in kano's statistics.
Could someone explain me what does it mean ?

It's not a reflection of your S3, it's all about the expected solve percentage relative to the previous block.  The middle or expected solve time is 100% which is black.  Less than 100% goes faster, is considered more lucky, and it goes towards the green colors.  More than 100% takes longer, is considered less lucky, and goes towards the red colors.  It just gives us a visual way to see how long a block solve takes relative to the last block solved.  We basically always want to see all blocks solved at 100% or less in time  Cheesy

Edit:  Actually, the red blocks are the most important blocks on the chart because if no one ever hit those long blocks we would just be stuck with no blocks at all!

That's a really good, concise explanation. Mahalo!

Thanks Elaine...Mahalo!

Yes it is from that page I noticed the color.

But I don't understand what it means to have a bad luck in solving a block ... Does it means the miner is slower than expected or something like that ?
(newbie question)
I was thinking that a S3 solving a block today was a lucky thing.

Insanely lucky for your s3  at 500gh

but our entire pool is  35ph  so not so lucky for the pool.


our full pool is 70,000 x your 1 s-3

an s3 solving a block is rare but thats why its called luck.

trying to solve a block is a race. the first pool to guess the # right wins. trying to solve these numbers is a brute force attack basically. lots of trial and error.

edit: look up a guy called andreas antonopoulos on the utube. he does some good videos that explain bitcoin really well.

look at the block page. it shows what the colors men.

green = good luck, better then average

black = average. normal luck

red = bad luck, block took longer then expected to solve.

A CKDB restart in about 35 minutes when the next shift summary occurs (about 12:20 UTC)
No miners will be affected.
Web site/api has lotsa '?' for about 10 minutes.

This is just a restart as is needed after a while with the version that I am still running.
Didn't get much time to look into the sequence issue in the new code, today.
Will do that again tomorrow.
Heh deja-vu?

Block Smiley So I'll have to wait at least another 10 minutes for the block shift to summarise.

Edit: Restart complete

I really think you should schedule 6-10 restarts a day.

i just successfully registered but it wont let me log in, am i suppose to wait fora confirmation email?
i have my s7 already aim at it and seams to be mining fine Sad

Hi Chickenfeed,

I'll start by saying your username is definitely suitable for this pool since most here are addicted to "chicken."   Cheesy

As for receiving an email confirmation after creating an account, I'm not sure.  I created an account in 2014.  I cannot remember if their is an email confirmation or not.  Maybe someone else can help you with this.  Kano, may be able to assist you.

Welcome to the pool.

David

I've registered week or to ago and conf. e-mail came quickly.
Check SPAM folders, add kano.is to whitelist and yes as written on kano website, you need this confirmation e-mail.

Heh ... actually, that's not quite how it works Cheesy
It doesn't send out an email until you change anything.
When you first login, it has a message at the top saying to add a payout address.
When you set the payout address you'll get an email.
Any time you change anything important, you get an email.

Maybe one of us creative lot could design a "Come to Kano.is - Block parties every week!" - signature banner.

All kano.is members can use this signature, since many of us also roam around many threads in Bitcointalk.org.

I certainly like that.  It's a great idea!  I am an artist but I wish I knew how to create a signature banner for use in these forums.  My art is done with paint, charcoal, etc...  I have never done art on a computer.  I will be happy to use the signature here on bitcointalk.org if someone were to create one and provide it to others to use here in the forums.

EDIT:  Here is a drawing I've worked on to practice with hair.  Plenty of hair in this photo I'm drawing.  Her name is Joan Osborne.  It will look just like her when I'm finished with it.  http://imgur.com/l3qm8Y7

What program can I use [Anyone] to create a signature banner for us to use?  Are the tools for creating a signature banner built within bitcointalk.org or is it better to use a particular graphic design program to upload to bitcointalk?  If so, what graphic design program does someone recommend for my Mac?  I do have the 12.9 inch iPad Pro as well.  I suppose I could buy the pen for it ($100.00 USD) to draw something on a graphic design program made for the iPad Pro.  I would not use it without the approval of Kano and CK of course.
Oh I didn't see the extra ...
For graphics work I always use The Gimp
Most people on windows use Photoshop and get it by pirating it coz it's very expensive Tongue
The Gimp is on linux and windows and mac and is (of course) free.
https://www.gimp.org/
Also, The Gimp was better than Photoshop in it's early years when, you could say, they first competed, but Photoshop being a commercial program has got a lot more options for working with an image and got ahead in that regard.

That pic of yours is indeed extremely impressive.
... and the bit I look at the most is the hair and think how long that must have taken Smiley

CG drawing is a very different creature.
My ones are done by first doing the outline (vectoring) of the objects then colouring and shading and touching up and adding effects ... in graphic layers.
... and you can cheat ... undo Cheesy

Though, that's not all that different in concept to how one would normally draw a picture, work out scales with basic curves and lines and then go into details.
But vectoring it on a computer is indeed very different.
I do have a graphics tablet but only once ever tried to use it.
The mouse wins for me.

But whatever you find easiest is of course best - vector drawing like I've done is so different that it takes quite a while to work out how to do it.

I did about one of those pics per week for a couple of years and got better as time went on.
Here's a simple one - this is where I 'extracted' the green eye from for the top left on the web site.
I liked drawing anime eyes Smiley
