With this block the ice was broken and let's hope that from now on there will be more and more blocks mined solo!

Solo's seem to be hot today, as 'that other' solo pool also had a winner 3 hours earlier who had been throwing well over 500PH at it for a couple days.
That said, CONGRATS to our pools 1st solo winner! Link to mempool for our block

Finally got our first solo block on the pool - well done to the winner of the block.
I'll leave it up to him to say he got it Smiley

What is the best place to buy hashpower to run on KanoPool?
Well you can only buy hashpower to run solo of course.

I'd highly suggest you stay right away from MRR - had a few complaints to me about sending hash rate from MRR.
Alas in all cases it's either been a problem at their end, or miners connecting directly to the pool with banned firmware.
The complaints flared up when MRR wouldn't reimburse them for hashes not sent to the pool,
which, to be blunt, is a scam.
Cost for hash rate there was ridiculously high,
and since the number of hashes you get determines the chances of you getting a block,
overpaying for hash rate is simply reducing your chances of getting a block.

The issues with FuckHash are a long history of scamming and lying about the rewards for miners.
While I certainly don't like them, and certainly would not trust them for spending a lot on a large amount of hash rate,
alas they are the most reliable for buying hash rate at the moment.


Thank you Kano!  That is what I remember, and appreciate about you is your honest information.  Thank You!

What make/model of miner?
How long has it been running?
Does it use modified firmware or Braiins?
1166 pro
stock os, no custom firmware
2 days running

Or, are you overriding the pools difficulty setting?

no


Well most miners take an hour to actually get an average close to what they are really doing.
If you are running any 3rd party firmware, and the pool isn't blocking it, they are also taking a % of your hash rate.
The workers page on the pool gives lots of details about each miner and the invalids,
and Help->Stats explains a lot of that page if you are logged in.

no 3rd party f/w
invalids between 0.04% and 0.07%
From your info, the pool will report correctly what the real hash rate is.
If the miner is constantly reporting higher, then there's something wrong with it's reporting.

Only other thing I can think of is it's sending hashes somewhere else that makes up the difference.

My asic shows 81T, but on kano it reports 72T.
What happened to the other 9 hash?

Folks here are not mind readers, some basic info would be nice. Things like:
What make/model of miner?
How long has it been running?
Does it use modified firmware or Braiins?

The work diff has no effect on your chance of finding a solo block.

When solo mining, the pool's work diff ensures it provides regular feedback, so that the hash rate the pool shows has low variance.
If you set it too high, the hash rate on the pool will jump all over the place and effectively be meaningless.

The option to set it high on a solo account, is in case you do a rental that requires a high diff before it will work.
The only other use for setting the diff on solo (or pplns) is to set a higher starting diff than the pool default of 8190,
if your miners normally run much higher i.e. so they don't send a bunch of 'hi' ignored shares when they connect.

In all cases, once the pool corrects the diff after you connect, the pool's diff is the best diff to use.

Unless you are running small USB stick miner just leave suggested diff alone. The pool and miners work together to quickly assign the best value. The diff target is aimed at the pool & miner working at 18 shares per-minute.

I've just ordered fan emulators for antminers, there is plenty of them on the market.

I have one more question about worker diff in solo mining. Is setting this parameter have any sense on solo mining? At the moment, its calculated by pool and its 6500, is that number for solo mining should be changed depend on hardware I'm using?

Since I'm not sure exactly how this works on a technical level right now (might have slipped my memory): is the mining software / firmware used communicated through Stratum v2 and / or could it be spoofed? How do you make sure that someone pointing hashpower to your pool is running a tested / 'known working' software stack?
...
Kano has made his opinion of Stratum v2 well known and safe to say it will be a mighty cold day in hell before he uses it. As for how he determines if the miner is running a hacked version of cgminer (which are quickly kicked off) vs accepted OEM, Braiins, BFGminer or Bitfury firmware - trade secret...  Wink

My miners use the original firmware Smiley
I will try to buy fan emulators as I'm running immersion cooling so I need to "cheat" original firmware that fans are still there.
Should be fairly easy to hack together if you can't find anything ready-made, right? I guess the original firmware expects a fan RPM reading on the yellow cable of a 3-pin fan connector?



The cable usually gives you 2 pulses per revolution so if you want to emulate 500RPM you just need to provide a 1kHz square wave. You can get that from a cheap Arduino clone and a few lines of code such as:
Code:
void setup() {
pinMode(0, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(0, HIGH);
delay(1); // wait 1ms
digitalWrite(0, LOW);
delay(1); // wait 1ms
}

If it should be cheaper, you could also get such a square wave from a 555 timer IC, although I doubt that the time invested to build and test it is worth it over an affordable microcontroller devkit.


Lastly, easiest might be to use fan cable extensions and have actual fans running outside of the immersion cooling tank. Wink
