How does everyone feel about the dwindling hash rate?
Hopefully the hash rate picks up. It's been 34hrs since the last block, hopefully we hit one soon
I was previously on here before, but I'm so use to real time graphics and stats I switched. I did have issues configuring my rigs to connect and what to put in the worker field, but then tried to look up my stats by searching for my btc address and couldn't find it. Is it true Kano pays the users here manually? When I tried to use my API I just got a white page with all the information in black text on one line across the screen. Maybe we can get some real world examples on what to use in the URL field and worker field and how to exactly access our stats and maybe more users would join up?
If I had tons of hashing power of course I would try to set some up on here, but when you only have so much you have to point it at a pool that solves blocks more often I think. This is my opinion though and everyone says it all evens out in the end, but I don't see that.

I feel like I get more BTC when we hit a block.
It all balances out to be equal in the end.

I use CKpool....I like playing the lottery when Kano's pool is down.
Heh, I do it the other way around, solo mining on ckpool all the time (hoping!) and have kanopool as my failover.

The cookies are set to expire 1000 days in the future.
I'm still working on that graph - a few more tweaks to go.
Once I've got it at the point where I'm happy to leave it for a while, I'll work on adding the ability to choose a worker (or possibly multiple workers with different coloured lines), and also another page with a pool graph ... some time in the not too far distance future

I'm not sure what the confusion is, but there was no pool outage.
As it says, uptime is 14hrs.
As I said, it was a ckdb restart.
The pool is made up of 2 parts:
1) ckpool that you mine to that handles all of that on the mining side
2) ckdb that gets all the data and deals with it on the data storage and web side.
An outage of 1) affects the miner.
An outage of 2) doesn't.
Great idea that hey

Hi Kano, when ckdb is down, does ckpool keep data in memory until ckdb comes back up and then send all kept data for ckdb to persist? Or does it keep it in a file and you have to manually transfer data to ckdb?
Not that it's important, I was just wondering.
The postgresql backend is simply the permanent storage that is only read on a restart and written to with all the permanent data.
ckpool logs all it's data to hourly logfiles (about 1-1.5GB each at the moment) as well as sending it to ckdb.
A ckdb restart reloads the permanent storage DB, then using the info there, it goes and reloads the log files from where the DB was up to.
It can currently reload the log files about 50 times faster than they fill up, so a 1hr log file often takes less than a minute.
It obviously only needs to look in the last 1 or 2 log files since the down time is always very short
It is sometimes 2 logfiles since it may happen just around the time of the log file change over.
At the same time, it has been getting all the new incoming data from ckpool queued up.
When it hits a match in the log file vs the 1st incoming queued message from ckpool, it knows it has all the data it needs from the log files.
At this point everything is back to working - but out of sync.
It then has to sync/catch up on all the data queued in ram, that was transferred from ckpool while ckdb was reloading the log files.
That sync number is the number it shows on the bottom left of the web site
That number also grows whenever ckdb gets behind processing the data from ckpool, usually due to DB write delays.
Currently the reload takes from 3 to 5 minutes and the sync usually only takes a minute or two after that to get back down to zero.
I didn't have the chance to thank you for taking the time to explain various technical aspects of your system. I'm particularly interested on those aspects, being myself a software developer trying to find the time to invest my knowledge in the Bitcoin world. I think 24 hours in a day is not enough. Too many things I want to touch and do. Well in the meantime, my miners are working for me. Thanks again Kano!

I appreciate the info...
I just started mining a few weeks ago, and started with westhash and BAN, so I'm currently using them as my backup pools. I just started with Kano yesterday, so I'm still waiting to see if the rewards and payouts will be better? This is all new to me so I'm still testing different pools.
I just checked out the ckPool, and looks like a fun option....

Had 2 drop outs (failovers to backup pool) in the last 3 hours. Any idea what happend?
I haven't had any drops outs? Been mining CKPool solid the past 24 hrs
Ok, thanks for the info.
As it is also not a local problem (failover to backup pool -which is in Europe- was working and mining), it must have been a connectivity issue somewhere between my local provider and Kanos CKPool provider... stuffed transatlantic links, congestion at any2 IX in LAX, whatever.
Gotcha... I just started mining Kano.

Who are you using for your backup pool?
My criteria for a dust collector (backup pool):
- PPS
- extremly reliable in terms of availability (and payout)
- different continent and network provider than main pool
- not one of the big pools
so currently it is the european stratum sever of emc (I know, belongs to BFL for some time now, which I don't really like... but hey, as a dust collector..altough the min payout is 0.02 btc, so it takes some time to get my collected dust, but I'm always getting it.. so far at least).
And if everything goes south, I have nicehash as the last resort...
Currently I am thinking of changing my backup pool (because of the 0.02 min payout and the uncertain future of BFL), but have not yet decided...
