Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1952. (Read 5352097 times)

Hehe great idea, I do have valid US Visa for next 2 years to meet Legendary Kano

Had a good think about the reject stats.
Then realised that it may not be stales.
Anyway, the web data for the workers page has the reject stats broken down into categories, I just don't display them.
I'll update that page later to show more reject info.

P.S. if you're in vegas visit the main pool server
though I doubt they'd let anyone in at all

Congrats again to the block solvers! And thank you!

I know we have many people who have signed up lately and I am enjoying the inrush of hashrate of course, but also fresh discussions, and new feature requests. Most people have their ideal information being displayed in particular ways.

Kano is at it constantly as well. Like a guy I know whenever I go to his house on the weekend, it doesn't matter if it is 4: AM or 4: PM he is out back in his garage / man cave with speed metal or rap playing loudly and his head under the hood of his latest project or he is all the way underneath the car heh. I think he lives in that garage. He, like Kano, seems to also have an endless amount of things he is passionate about doing, and lucky for all of us Kano (and CK as well!) turn out solid performing software. There aren't many times I've seen them go live on Kano.is and immediately roll back because of something found but I attribute such to experience and brilliant coding with a streak of simplistic engineering.

Of course keeping things simple while satisfying all of us can be a challenge in its own right, and I know Kano and CK like to give everyone what they want. Many times they satisfy many different requests from people with a single simple addition which we may all use a few different ways but I'll stop my blabbering about it and just say I know they run a healthy to do list, and will take into consideration any data people wish to see.

However they also have a very nice API where you can grab many different things, and while it is always the CK-Kano prerogative regarding what to add next I only wanted to mention there is a lot to be said for a streamlined model without a lot of fluff we really do not actually need.

Now, don't anyone take me as being negative, and I am not picking out anyone particular at all, I love some of the recent requests I've read and think they will be good additions, but all I wanted to do is throw out the fact that the pool is fast because of the way these guys write code. In my opinion I enjoy getting the data myself via the API and having it thrown in a spreadsheet so I can do all sorts of things playing with numbers.

You all probably already know the API is in no way going to give us everything everyone wants, but if you are interested in playing with it, it really isn't that hard. If you've never done it just google some, look at Zach Monroe's project and give it a shot. It is fun to me. Feel free to PM me as well, and I started by bugging CK over the cgminer API, and he answered my question and pointed me to the text file where it is all right there in very easy to understand language. If you haven't checked out Zach's hard work, you should!

Keep hitting those blocks. Maybe we can meet in Vegas for a party this time next year since this pool is going to still be rocking hard even after the halving.
As long as we are running some efficient gear I have no doubt these guys are going to keep bringing on the software to handle the rest.
I know a good poker player who is mining here again

Have a good evening, or morning, or whatever it is wherever you are  
 

   I hope if I ever hit a block, someone gets a screen shot of it LIVE 

so exciting, the past few payments are really amazing... I hope my miners can touch a block soon!

 

AND Confirmed 

Block 388128 by gtso!

EDIT: hurricandave, It took me a while to see the block was listed in your screenshot  

gtso is another ~20THs miner...way to go!

Haha!  I'm pretty sure I have not read through all 300 pages either.  But I will say this thread can be an interesting and fun read at times...

Kano, for sure I know how to check if I got paid Thank you  
But I just talking about kind of convenience.  No probs if still not implemented.
I've started mining of kano.is pool just a few days ago and I do not know if it worked before present moment.
To be honest I haven't read all 300 pages sorry for this

Sounds like you could simply remove Status as a column header and solve the question.  It's not a feature that's needed anyway

Yep, not written the code to do it yet
(I've mentioned that a few times here, but that would require reading back quite a bit)

Also, your wallet will show the transactions for all that I've sent.
That will be all that have Matured but the current one.
The current Matured one will be when I send it (and say it here) and it will show up in your wallet then.

... and you can find it by clicking on the block link, then clicking on the block hash shown there, then the 1st block payout address, click on that.

Wow! Payout 388017 received about 30 minutes ago and it has 3 confirmations already.  Thanks Kano!

Kano, just for information - is this ok that Status field in Account->Payout tab is empty and not updated after each payment?  This is not a problem really as payments are regular, but it might be good idea to fix it? Some users I guess not able to track payouts on forum because of limited time but it will be quite convenient to login into your account and to check what is paid and what still not..

Thanks for the info Kano. Sounds like a good explanation. The timing makes sense.

I'll snapshot my stats and do a soft reset to clear the decks.

I had a post up earlier with two screenshots that was up only about 35 to 45 minutes.  I said I would take it down after an answer.  He answered shortly after I took it down.

Um? Where?

Anomalous?

There was a stale reduction change on the last ckpool restart which, checking the web site was 3 days ago.
So if it was before that, then yes there may have been a slightly higher stale issue.
It was caused by my slightly different ckpool setup that resulted in sometimes sending a "don't clean" work block change followed by a "clean" work change.

dmwardjr, did you get an answer to your "invalids" question? Because I'm seeing something similar since moving to Kano.

Basically, my best performing S7 unit that has the highest hash and fewest HW errors has higher rejects since moving to Kano. The other two S7s (with worst hash and higher HW errors) are nominal.

Maybe I'm OCD about this, but since receiving my S7s I've kept a spreadsheet with performance snapshot numbers including hash rate, HW errors, DiffA, and DiffR over time. This allows me to reduce performance numbers to the form DiffA and DiffR per second for a given configuration and pool. I have a complete record of performance for every pool I've been on.

In general the stats for Kano's pool over a few days is similar to other low latency pools that I've tried. But this one "high performing" S7 has a 26% higher DiffR per second value than the previous pool I was on (Slush), where the other "lower performing" S7s have had around a 16-20% reduction in DiffR per second.

Correspondingly, this "high performance" unit has been granted a lower difficulty (3.98K) than the other two (5K+). On all the other pools the best performing unit had higher or equal difficulty than the other two.

Note that all three units are deployed at a data center with very reliable and consistent cooling, power, and high network performance. They are behind a firewall so all of them will appear to be from the same IP address, in case that's relevant.

While this is not having a huge impact on earnings, it's a bit odd that the unit that was my best performer on all other pools is now my worst one, seemingly due to an increase in rejects.

Any thoughts as to what might cause this?

Other than this minor anomalous behavior, I'm very happy with the move to Kano. I was at wits end because the big pools are behaving badly (SPV mining, empty blocks, etc.) and run by people who seem to be lacking in both character and technical competence. And Slush's pool, which I've really liked in the past, seems to be underperforming well outside of statistical reason. Also, it's hard to buy their explanation for the slew of orphans they had, especially since they continue to have a disproportionate orphan problem.

Anyway, thanks Kano for providing a great pool! Now if we can just get enough like minded miners over here so that the pool can go from an alternative to a major player...

Payout confirmed

I would vote for it.
I am a verry smal miner.... and I switched it back on for the SPV discusion going on!
