I think Block % is just a % from all shares since last found block. This is not conected with  reward which is calculated by mined shares for last 5Nd where N is current mining difficulty for bitcoin

Thanks for the explanation. And @kano thanks for answering as well. At least I sort of have a better understanding how payouts work.

many pools accept P2SH addresses as users , but don't give shares for work, because can verify and recognize only P2PKH and give shares .
Kano isn't such pool. CKpool code accept P2SH. Am I right?
Sorry, I've no idea what you mean by "but don't give shares for work"


I mean that some pools use p2pool similar code and when username is P2SH address starting with 3 , work made by that miner don't go in db for payments , and all work shares go to pools owners
Well it's been well tested here Smiley
In the payout for our first block (325306), someone had a 3* payout address.

Yes since it's not a moving target it's easy to keep track of - simply reset it each time we find a block.
It's also of interest to see how much of the current block, shown at the top of the page, you have mined.

The payout address you use on your account or via address mining, can be 1* or 3*

I simply send the payout amount to that address as per bitcoin-cli accepting a list of addresses including any of 1* or 3*

As for transactions in the block, transactions allowed are as per the standard 0.11.1 core.

I am sure this has been answered before so if it has I am sorry for asking it again but how does the percentage work?

In my workers tab it shows I have a block percentage of 0.296% currently and the block we just mined was just over 0.35. Is this the percentage used in payout? Because the last block shows a reward of 0.18%.

Not saying anything is wrong just trying to learn how the percentages are made.

Kano,

I think my question was over looked, would you mind shedding some light on it for me.

Thanks
It has nothing to do with the payout.

Soo... I've been thinkin 'bout "useless" spreadsheet stuff!
 Who has confirmed our block solves first and how many times.
That one will be purely random (based on network %)

Quote
How many of our block solves saw the first confirmation solve turn into an orphan race.
We've orphaned at least a couple of others Smiley
Bitfury comes to mind

Quote
Who / how many times, were first to include our pool payouts in a block solve.
 Yes, I know! "USELESS INFO" Damn you coffee!!!!
Payout transactions ... never really noticed who confirms ours.
I think we've only confirmed our own payout txn once or twice since it's usually quick to be confirmed
(I'm surprised at how regularly it seems it's confirmed in less than 10 minutes)

Edit: I always prioritise it so it is (first) in the block we are building so we will confirm it if our next block arrives after the payout before it was confirmed

No idea why anyone would mine there.

LOL, that's people mining with an invalid address I think.

= donations.
scam
If you have a way to track these users down, you're welcome to share it.

On my pool we don't keep users connected with invalid connection details so we can steal their mining power = BTC.
Invalid address miners are not allowed to mine.

...
And as others have mentioned, it's not like rejecting the connections is going to benefit anybody.
...
Although you may think it wise to mine with a single account and no backup, most miners have realised for MANY years that is a foolish thing to do.

If one pool/account is rejected or fails when mining, cgminer (used by the vast majority of BTC miners on the planet) switches over to the secondary or later accounts it has been provided with.

If someone is dropping money on the street, it isn't the job of whoever finds it to hunt them down even if it is possible.
...
Well ... a few years ago a guy walking through a centre about 30m ahead of me dropped a small amount of paper.

When I got to it I noticed it contained cash.
I picked it up and it included over $100 ...

Though you may consider that a bad thing to do, I chased after him and gave it to him.
He hadn't even realised he'd dropped it.

And wizpants final comment Smiley
...
The accusations of stealing based on a well established policy are a bit absurd, and honestly I don't want to hear it.
...
I'm not going to implement valid address/worker name checking in the pool software.  It's not worth the time and effort when there are plenty of other things I can dedicate my time to.
Well established policy of stealing Smiley

Well ... it is a fee free pool ... where no one makes the expected payout ... for years ... they gotta get paid somehow for all their costs running the pool right?

I'll be doing a ckpool restart in a few minutes (before the payout comes due)

I'm switching the main bitcoind up to 0.11.1 and that switch will mean I'll have to restart ckpool (after bitcoind has finished restarting)

It will only be a reconnect in cgminer for most (though as always some few will failover)

Edit: done

Edit2: oh I also increased the block size from 850,000 to 888,888 - for luck Cheesy

The '~' means that ckdb hasn't recalculated the stats for the block.
It does it after the next confirm or after about 13minutes (whichever is later)

Basically the reason is that when a block is found, ckdb stores all the current 'running' counters and resets them back to zero.
However, there's a number of reasons why that number may be off by a small amount.
The simplest one is that shares can still be accepted for the current work, after the block is found until I get the confirm from ckpool - since ckpool decides if a share is accepted, not ckdb - and this also could have affected the counters back at the start of the block.

Once the 'aging' function of the workinfo containing the block has occurred, ckpool certainly wont send any more valid shares for the workinfo, so at that point, ckdb recalculates the correct stats for the block and updates it.

e.g. for the last block
Code:
[2015-10-16 11:27:18.027+11] summarise_blocks() block 379092, stats confirmed 5488381639/10979862/4739416/9795/12275

51.90% Luck for the last 5 UGH!!!! Lets hope some green start coming our way. Glad that block is over though.

I was playing with this pool thought it would be intersting.  And yea ouch it's starting to hurt on luck.   

I'm hoping we see some change I can understand why it varies.   But we can all agree almost 50 percent is not a fun to sit at.
