Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 22. (Read 5352097 times)

I think he might be asking if, as miners, can we tell? like when we look on the list of miners (stats page) can we see who is solo vs pool - that way when a block is found and is on the blocks page - it is easily confirmed that the miner is solo or pool.

I have one question - which you probably most likely answered and I either forgot or missed it - the pool hash rate, will that reflect only "pool" miners or will it include all accounts? or will there be two sets of stats - one for the pool miners and one for the solo miners?

As I said, an account can only ever be one, and to become solo it must be flagged (within 2 hours of creation) before any mining and a few other requirements.
There will be no way to swap. If you want a different type of account, you have to create a new one.

Anyone who finds a block should already know they've found it, and the pool will of course already now immediately (the microsecond that the block is found) who found it and if it was solo or pooled - it will report it as such immediately as it already does but with the added distinction of being pooled or solo.
The already present user list will also be clear who is pooled and who is solo - two separate lists.
Expecting that I could pretend that a pooled miner didn't find the block when they were pooled mining, seems a rather odd thing to suggest.
The reverse, of taking a solo block away from the ONE person who found it, well that's not really gonna work too well either since they should know also.
Thus I don't see the problem.

Also, no two accounts can use the same payout address, that is there in the old public git code I wrote and will never be removed, since it causes balance calculation problems if any 2 accounts are allowed to use the same address, thus if an account is already receiving rewards to a non-solo address, they can't suddenly get solo rewards to that address - so it would be obvious in that case.

As for trust, well miners already put their trust in any pool they use, even ones where the operators don't give a shit and lose many blocks due to negligence and lack of interest, coz they're too busy working for Sol Press and don't care and they've already made thousands of BTC

Fudging blocks back and forth is simply a pool operator risk of being caught, like any other that you can think pools might want to do, yet everyone mines on pools anyway, even the ones that have already ripped of their miners large amounts ... like slush.

For accountability sake. How will other miners know who is mining for solo and who isn’t.  How do we know that solo miners only get rewarded for solo blocks and community miners get paid for work completed.  I know you have trust.  But this is a trustless environment.  Your making it so that I have to trust you don’t do something nefarious if one pool has had a dryer spell over the other.  It’s obvious the incentive is there to cheat since slower blocks result in less and less miners.   I guess what I’m asking is how will users personally verify prior to blocks being found who is on what pool?   This system that is supposed to be trustless sure is relying a ton on trusting others won’t do what’s best for them.  Idk. Sorry to be that pain. Just want some things to be done right. If we are to right the ship that is the financial system one must think of all the angles one can be defrauding another!

It will just be an account setting that can be set on a band new, unused account.
You wont be able to swap things back and forward - ever.
All the mining will be the same - same miner settings - same HIGH quality and PROPERLY managed servers.
No lost MULTIPLE blocks due to NEGLIGENCE like the Derp pools.
Same fee as the rest of the pool 0.9%
It will simply be, if you find a block and the account is flagged as solo, it's a solo reward.
KDB is of course full of up coming changes about this to separate everything - hash rate, rewards, finder type etc.

I've listed all the details in discord a few months back, and will post them here when it's ready - prolly in a few weeks.

Now back to working on this payout+dust today for all the current miners ...

Bam!  The elusive Block has been found.  Thank you, sir, may I have another?  

And what's this I read about a kano-solo pool??  Cool!  You da Man!

I’m glad you finally got it guys!  It was getting close to a half year mark.  I wish you would have got it before the halving, oh well at least it’s finally cracked!  Congrats! 

Hallelujah! We finally cracked another!

Congratulations on the recent block 👏

Wishing you all growth and prosperity in the coming months.

very nice and very fat block! congrats all!

And 2 BTC in transaction fees!

Beat me to getting the solo code finished ... I was beginning to think the block was waiting for the new code

And verily the drought was broken!

There seems still to be a lot weighing on what will happen in China with mining both with hardware and regulations. Same story as always but that exponential curve in hardware is really a wildcard. Less wild than what regulation will do or not do though. Lot's of experimenting with how people react with current times and other world events going on to distract as well. Mine on!🐈

Been a while since I chimed in here--Discord is sooo much cooler --but, ya know, I figured since we just went thru the halving that I'd see what's up.

Short answer: I think we'll see the diff drop if the price doesn't quickly adjust for the new supply & demand curve caused by the halving.

Hopefully, although as I can see it says the next difficulty will only raise by like 2% estimate.

The blocks seem to be rolling in at pretty good clip at the moment.

But I suppose we could see a difficulty drop, at least initially.  I expect it to be like the other diff drops and stabilize after a short while.

Btc halved, now what guys?  You think the difficulty will go down or what will happen?  I see people turning off their machines by thousands already! 

Thanks for the info and good work.

Yes, there was an outage of 2 hours for 5 nodes from the main server provider (4 mining nodes)
affecting stratum and NYA
from 01:03 UTC to 03:08 UTC

The outage was in LA, Seattle and NewYork (and the provider's web site also)
 
I fired up a new node after a while when it seemed there was no idea when it would be fixed
and pointed the DNS for stratum and NYA to the new one in LA ...
and got that all online just 10 minutes before the others came back to life

The change in the configuration right now is that stratum points to two nodes: one node by each of the two main providers.
NYA is back to pointing to it's original node.

I'll fire up one or two of the other two LA nodes later ... after I hear why it happened.

Anyone who watches the Fibre relay will have also seen the the US-West Fibre relay was down for that time frame (and a bit more) also ... since that's in Seattle with the same provider.

P.S. visit discord to get up to date info

Did some nodes drop?  I've lost connection along with 7 or 8Phs of others.

Edit: looks like the main node and the NYA nodes are down.  I'm back up on the Oregon one now.

Edit 2: The main and New York nodes just came back.

And I now have all of the nodes in my failover list.
