I've added another section in the opening post:
Transactions
The pool will mine any and all transactions that the standard bitcoind will accept.
The relevant setting I currently use in bitcoin.conf is:
blockmaxsize=850000
I do not currently change the default on any other of the txn control options, I do not blacklist addresses, I do not prioritise transactions for any companies.
If this should ever change, I will post the full details when I do the change with the reasons why.

luck seems quite good --- makes me wonder about some larger pools and if they are being 'attacked' with selfish mining/block witholding.....
It's mathematically impossible to get more than 100% over a long period of time. It is incredibly lucky that this pool is doing so well ... at some point luck will turn.

EDIT: That's assuming someone didn't find a way to magically find blocks. That's highly unlikely (presumably impossible), of course. If so, it's the end of Bitcoin as we know it.

You can send 500th of dead hash (due to poorly written code) at a pool and hurt it.
Was done to btcguild was supposed to be an accident. So if I was a huge attacker I could attack the bigger pools with false hash. This would benefit the pools I don't attack. Thus if I had 100ph of false hash on the network right now spread between every pool but kano's kano would have great luck. Would cost me a fortune to do unless I have a better hashing machine then anyone in the world. I don't .
The only true protection against this attack is to solo mine.
I do some solo mining at ck's solo pool. I mine here because Kano and CK deserve our support.

My machines are at MiningRigRentals dot com - And I rent there too for Kano pool, no problems so far.

^ you guys are great!!!
November 15, 2014, 05:19:19 PM
Yep - that's why the change is needed, Con has already done the ckpool changes in a branch, for me to just use his worker level stats (which is more accurate than the way I add the userstats info together), so I'll catch up with the ckdb changes soon.

^ same here(3 hours in).... my hashrate keeps going up and then way down(pool side). I guess it will stable within 24 hours.

Also, how often will the "Workers" menu update to see each rigs stats (Hash rate, etc.)?
Currently, hash rate updates about once every 10 minutes (that will change to 1m in the future)Everything else is instantaneous e.g. you'll notice that "Last Share" can say 0s.
An observation ... moved some S3's over to the pool earlier today, and it's taken about 3 hours before they are showing their correct individual hash rate.
However, my expected combined total hash rate shown was pretty spot on after 30 minutes.
Spondoolies miners show their correct individual hash rate much quicker.
All are on stratum+tcp://stratum81.kano.is:81

Yes we have been lucky but there is nothing that will guarantee we can maintain that. We will have bad luck in the future, it is guaranteed, but things always even out over time and that's no reason not to enjoy the runs of luck.

in regards to rentals. I tried to use the standard stratum pool from leaserig, but the port 81 did. It seemed to be a bit flakey - but likley entirely on leaserig's end.

Can you mine here with rented hash from westhash?
I don't see why it would be an issue if the poster below you was able to rent hashrate for the pool on another site. I've rented from betarigs without issues, but when I tried westhash I get this error "Remote pool extranonce size too big". There are times when westhash cost a lot less to rent from...

Legitmate Question about calculations in the pool:
Can someone explain to me about shares?
One would think the S4 would have more shares than the S3's? I'm curious why not? Yes, the block percentage is higher than the rest but not the shares. Just curious why? Trying to learn.
The S4 is worker_17...

It's called variable difficulty. The S4 has a higher share difficulty than your S3s, ending up in fewer, yet higher value shares, submitted.

Hence, the higher block % based on variable difficulty of the shares [not hash rate], thank you for the answer.
Appreciate it!
it is based on both ( shares hashed) x (difficulty of the share )
3 x 4 = 12 vs 3 x 1 = 3
in your case
1721 shares x 3,500,000 = .148 % of the block for the s4 about .00148 x 25 = .037 coins
1875 shares x 850,000 = .036% of the block for the s3 about .00036 x 25 = .009 coins all very rough numbers due to rounding
this assumes they both hashed the entire block .

Don't know but I know rented miners from betarigs do work at kano.is

Finally me...
dringdahl.mmrUS found the block...
Nice work! As for me, someone rented my S4 from MRR for 24 hours probably about two hours or less before the pool solved the 71% blocked (still should see a decent sized payout since I had been mining close to about 36 hours straight up until that point). I was surprised that someone actually rented my rig due to the fact that I set it at a rather high price intentionally, because I wanted to mine in this pool for a while since due to its current size you do have to mine for quite a bit to really receive the maximum payout. However, my S3+ was still pointed there, so I should get a decent sized payout for the 71% block and I suppose another slightly smaller payout from techgeeks/dringdahl's block dringdahl.mmrUS found the block...
. I love this pool! PS: I wonder if anyone who's been following the stats can guess which worker I am given the details I have given. If you have figured it out, mums the word! (its my real name, DOH!)
