Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 1974. (Read 5352429 times)

Is there a way to tell how much of my last reward is attributed to a particular worker in my group ?

I will be doing some main server updates shortly.

First will be an update for ckdb.
As usual the 1st ckdb update will not affect miners, but just the web site will be showing not much useful for the ~15 minutes after I restart ckdb.
The changes involved are all behind the scenes.
I've added some new lock checking and (100%) deadlock prediction code to get things ready for threading some of the threads that can block and slow things down on rare occasions.
ckdb + ckpool is fine at 6PH (as we saw yesterday when we found that block) and all probably would be ok well above 40PH, but there's ways I can make sure of that and make that upper limit higher ... so with this change I'll be able to verify all is OK to go ahead and speed ckdb up even more.
I don't expect any problems with the changes even though they are rather extensive:
(as can be seen here: https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool/commits/c7f03c2a331f111696f0e8163f295461711e8eb5 )
but of course they don't affect ckpool running so the only side effect could be some restarts of ckdb due to new ckdb code problems - that I don't expect that at all.


After that I'll also do a ckpool restart.
There's some changes in there that may help improve performance also - but ckpool is far from having any performance problems on the pool.
For the majority of users, a ckpool restart should just show as a reconnect in cgminer.
Though some minority of users will see a failover since not everyone reconnects fast enough
- inside the 30 seconds required to avoid a failover in cgminer.

I'll post again once it's all done.

Edit: ckdb restart complete - web site all back ok

Edit2: yeah the 2nd step was done also (about 8 minutes ago) ... now almost back to where we were before that

It's only there at the bottom in case someone wants to check their time vs the pool - once in a blue moon
It's also a bit out of space to fit it anywhere at the top.

Shift: shift name
Start UTC: shift start time
Length: length of shift
Your Diff: accepted difficulty you submitted in that shift
Inv Diff: invalid/stale difficulty you submitted in that shift
Avg Hs: the calculated hash rate for "Length" based on "Your Diff"
Shares: how many shares you had accepted in that shift
Avg Share: average difficulty of all shares submitted in that shift
Rewards: how many times this shift has been rewarded (so far) - 5 is the expected number once it gets below the red line
Rewarded*: what that amount actually is ... as per * at the bottom: "*The Rewarded value unit is satoshis per 1diff share"
PPS%: how that amount so far compares to 100% PPS

Normally, any shifts below the red line will get no more rewards.
Shift above the red line may get more depending upon when blocks are found
The norm is 5 rewards when pool luck is 100% ... though the average will actually be a little above 5 when pool luck is 100% since the PPLNS N is 5Nd plus a bit

On this page:

we can see under "Rewards" numbers...
could you please explain a little...or say where I can find explanations?
thanks in advance.

Thank you, now I see, it asked, I did not see it because the bottom of the site is very uncomfortable, move to the top if you can.

The block time shown is UTC (that's the: +00)

If I was to use javascript to display that in your local timezone, then that would depend on the computer clock being correct and the system/browser settings being correct for everyone
Knowing it is UTC and (always) correct makes more sense to me

--

Aside: 2 other times are shown at the bottom, but are pretty useless since most people should know the current time where they are and their timezone, so they are small

The current time on the site is in tiny text on the bottom left, and is, as it says, UTC
This should always be accurate, and also happens to match the correct time the 2FA uses of course.

Your browser time is on the bottom right in tiny text - which should match your time zone unless you messed up your computer clock or system/browser timezone setting some how.

Question for kano, you can add the current time on the site kano.is? I can not see the difference in the time zone. Hard to quickly see the actual time of block.

And I had a spicy chicken sandwich from Chik-Fil-A today!  Guess that's my staple diet at work from now on.

Actually I did step out to pick up some herb roasted chicken...that is too funny!

As long as you stepped out for eating some chicken... no problem.

I step out of the house for 30 minutes and the pool hits a block!  I guess I should step out more often 

Good... Christmas is coming...

Woohoo!  Block!

Yeah the last payout (386503) was:
i.e. any shares in that range got another reward.

(Edit: actually thanks to the luck of 386503 being so quick, it rewarded back to the same shift as 386502 did, so any shares back in that range got 2 more rewards, one from 386503 and one from 386502 - of course shares in the shift that found 386503 were after 386502 and only got 1 of those 2 rewards)

That's getting shorter now with the higher pool hash rate - thanks to canaan
Since of course the 5Nd+ shares arrive faster with a higher hash rate.
But that also means the average expected block time is shorter also.
Yep it all evens out statistically, just can't control that random block finding part of the luck

just a word on the payoutsystem from me:
I stop mining now on Kano because of the electricity price I got.
Yet, I still receive a payout, every block a little less.
Let me say, I am verry happy with that system and yes, I also needed
time and read what kano writes to understand what's behind it.
If somebody want a change, go to the pool where ist is as you like it.

Thank you Kano for your Pool! If the sun is out here again in the next year, my solar will power the
miner and I am back @ Kano.is

Yes, I still try to get a block on ck.solo for shure.

Thanks for the updates Kano

Payouts 386502 and 386503 sent

and confirmed

Latest optimisations I added to solo should embarrass every true pool which does full verification now and non-empty block generation. I'll slowly channel the changes to kano after confirming code safety too...

We've been on a roll recently.  More blocks please!!

As to Nutty's conversation, I appreciate where you're coming from but at this pool in Kano's eyes - everyone is worth the same since they all contributed.  I don't mind it and wouldn't mind it if I had the least hash or the most.  I'm just happy to have a place where the owner is open / transparent and more than willing to explain his way of thinking when asked.
