Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1737. (Read 5352322 times)

Talk about an initiation!!  

after last diff jump, looks like all pools mine fatty blocks, including 1000kb.
can we mine that kind of block?
as far as i know (maybe im wrong) on kano we have 999,99kb max.
am i right?

Captminer,

Good job, buddy!  It was comforting to have that one over with.  We can expect those at times.

Only ~325%.  Not the worst    

Heh -ck beat me to it, but anyway, here's my TL;DR; version

Well some important points, in no particular order, are:
1) We never mine empty blocks if transactions are available (so far never made an empty block)
2) We've averaged the highest block sizes of all pools: Solo first, Kano.is second.
http://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/blocksize/30d?t=l
Scroll down to "Blocks size by mining pool" and click on "Average size" twice
3) CKPool is written in C and -ck is a linux kernel developer who clearly knows about writing performance critical code.
(the software used in most miners mining BTC is cgminer, the performance/management code written almost entirely by -ck)
4) CKPool and CKDB are two separate parts of the pool that makes sure that the mining and reporting are separate and somewhat independent
This means that the priorities of the two parts of the pool are met separately and do not conflict with each other.
5) We have VERY low orphan rates due to how fast the code runs and how well we've setup our block distribution
6) We run custom bitcoind, optimised for performance, no blacklisting, no bitcoin fungibility issues - all based on core with performance increases.
7) We know what we are doing from the ground up, it's not a point and click pool running someone else's software, we wrote all the code and maintain it ourselves
8 ) The code running on the pool is open source, there for anyone to read and use: https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool/src
9) The BTC in the pool is there all in the open for anyone to see where it goes. Each block, after it's confirmed, is paid directly to the miners, and the last address on each payout is the leftover dust, or payments for accounts that don't have an address. All easy to track and see where everything is going.
9) We understand bitcoin from the ground up.
10) You wont find me making posts that aren't backed by facts, or if I do make a mistake, I will certainly correct my errors if I discover that, or someone points it out. I'm not always right and I have no issue realising that fact.

So now that you've hit a 310%+ block just when you've joined, it's time for me to post a table that shows what to expect from any pool regarding block% and luck:
So yep, 1 in 22.4 blocks is EXPECTED, on average, to be greater than 311%, where we currently are.
There's no way to control the % of each single block we find, there's expected results, and we clearly do find blocks within those expected results as the table at the top of the blocks page shows https://kano.is/index.php?k=blocks
