Unscheduled update alert.
I need to do a couple of restarts to deal with a ram issue with bitcoin.
It will be both a ckpool and a ckdb restart.

The ckpool restart will be the usual takes only a few seconds and will only have a small % of failovers.
That will happen immediately after this post.
Sorry for the lack of warning, but had a severe issue arise and want to avoid letting it affect any mining.
No mining has been affected yet and this restart will ensure that.

There will be a ckdb restart shortly after also.
I'll post back details once it's all done.

OK all done and actually was a very clean restart on the main server.
Total users that didn't reconnect was 5 out of about 580.
The pool hash rate was pretty consistent before and after - showing 11.6PH just before and soon after the restart.
ckdb restart went smoothly also but took 16 minutes total.
All good, and problems averted before they could happen.

Kano,

the account settings, can they be setup to use 2FA only if a payout address is changed, instead of even login?

I like to see my stats with a quick and easy login, but wouldn't mind the extra security of 2FA if someone were to hack my account and attempt to change the payout address.

TY

I guess I could add to the (dreaded) todo list an option to ignore 2FA security ONLY on login.

If you want 2FA, then it's there for ANY changes to the account, not just some changes.
Having on/off changes in the rules for different things usually ends up making loop holes that someone somewhere will find a way around.

I guess it could be an option on the 2FA page, AFTER you've setup 2FA, that could be changed with your 2FA, to (only) allow login without it.

Yeah, I think that's better. We all still want the quick login to check out stats but better security for the important stuff.

Thanks home spice. Cheesy

For JP pool please can you confirm following URL is correct

stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333

Thanks

Yep any of:

The 2 payouts have been sent 25min ago, just not confirmed yet.

Yeah I was up a bit late last night dealing with servers and good and useless people in datacentres Tongue

RUU is no more Sad

Too many problems with them and also we've been having general problems with the networks in Russia also.

RUU points to DE and probably will stay that way for the foreseeable future.

If anyone noticed, the thread title changed

There's now a node in Japan jp.kano.is

All 3 nodes (DE, SG, JP) are running very well, though still classified as 'testing', but there should be no problems with miners connecting and mining.

Edit: they were confirmed about 4 minutes after I posted this

I still ask myself how on other pool topics people are not seeing this, how are they still shitting about the rewards that they get. They say that antpool and slush is better!? I mean we should make donations to buy glasses for those guys Grin

Sorry to contradict you.
earning is just luck and I can not imagine here is more luck or less luck...in long time it is by principle every where the same.
We have seen here good luck and bad luck.

I think the difference to chose this pool or an other pool is not the earning because we do not know the "future luck".
The difference is more the "style" of pool and the behavour of the pool owner.

Almost correct.

There's an element of so called "Luck" that is not "Luck"
All pools (here included) call the block finding rate "Luck" - but it isn't all uncontrollable "Luck"

The controllable part is dealing with block changes, work distribution and block distribution
(these lead to more lost blocks and orphans if not done well)
kano.is and -ck's solo handling of this is exceptionally fast, and we also do full block verification and always include transactions when available.

I hear ya. It's all about perception. One thing I like about this pool, and this forum, is the diversity of thought process. Some of us have either been in IT or BTC or both (and some for a fair number of years lol) and can see such things pretty clearly, but others find the internal concepts exceedingly complex and confusing (ie., my partner the cleric). Looking at a graph with red lines on it and watching a threshold advance (although quite slowly at times) was more concrete. He was using a "supplied" value to compute avg daily rewards other than what the real data said it should be. He finally "got it" last night, and he's now on board.

Mine on. Cool

I'm baaaack. I think my partner is finally getting it about "difficulty" and "luck" and well...you know. Me and the 4Th are quite happy here, thank you very much.

I really appreciate Kano's work. I had to fire my hosting contractor (I manage just a few sites these days, but I try to keep it quality still) last week, and can sympathize greatly with the uncontrollable idiosyncracies of such elements.

Imua.

Anyone to add an API for the block solver's username to show up instead of having to log in everytime?

Everytime I get a notice that a block is solved. I always log in to see the block stats to see who it was. Gets tedious since i have 2nd Authentication enabled =P

Nope

Also, the public interface is that way on purpose

If you want the details you have to login.
One day in the dark distant future I'll probably add a link (when logged in) to also give extra details about the block.

That's the point of logging in and being able to see the extra information with a username account.

Could I use JP node as backup for SG node, before failing to US node - would this be worthwhile doing?
My ping from sg to jp is around 70ms, which is much better than 200+ms to US node.

I'd still suggest to have a node as main and US as 1st backup.

That also makes it possible to have a 2nd backup to some other pool, in machines that default to only 3 pools in the interface.
While having everything pointing only at kano.is sounds great, the reality is that I can't guarantee 100% uptime coz data centres and ddoses and networks all have their collection of random uncontrollable problems.

On the subject of networks

... the other day I couldn't get directly to DE from home.
My ISP somehow managed to screw that up - and my ISP is not a small one either - in the top 3 here in Aus.
I could get there via any of my other (many) servers, but the routing direct to DE was screwed up for me for ~12 hours.
Things go wrong out of our control, so having backup somewhere else is important for bitcoin mining.
