Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 364. (Read 5352633 times)

Yep. I locked myself out before too. However, I have found that if you know what the best average work diff for you miner is--chart out your shifts in a spreadsheet to see which work diff results in the highest share diff per minute with the lowest invalids--you can just set it directly to that work diff (e.g. 3586 for my Avalon6) and reduce all those invalids from when it tries to default to 4098 and throws a bunch of invalids.

Looks like I was only a few blocks early with my prediction for the FIRST qualifying 10BTC Giveaway block reward!

Look at sidewinder go, Go, GO!!!

Finally Sidewinder have got 1 BTC block reward due to recent block find. Let's hope he gets 2 more soon..

Congrats and let's crack another whipping block!

yep last guy who tinkered with the numbers ended up haveing alot of problems and locked himself out of the pool fer awile by accedent

Each share the miner submits has a different difficulty - this is normalised to a number of shares based on difficulty.

Auto difficulty tries to set your miner to submit 18 shares per minute according to Kano.

Seems to work fine for my S9's so I'd keep it variable. Higher difficulty settings just change the variance I.e. The number and frequency your shares are submitted but shouldn't impact overall hashing rate in the long run.

Below is the present snapshot of my Workers page. Ironically although I'd let them run for a few weeks without tinkering to test them, I just noticed today that worker #1 had 1 PCI-E connector loose and I'm not sure how long it had been that way... it's now been fixed as of maybe 1 hour ago, whether that impacts the numbers, you tell me. (Just refresh'd my workers page and we hit a block,  )

Apologies for the shitty formatting.  I am aware that all Antminer's will vary on Hashrate given the luck of the draw, but would a manually configured difficulty produce a higher hashrate? This brings us back full circle to my initial question, are all shares equal and is maximizing amount of shares the objective?


Thanks in advance for your help Kano friends.

I guess I picked the right time to get here because December 10, January 8, February 5, but March already 14 blocks! Keep it up guys.

I would be curious to see if fixing the plug fixed your Invalid %. I have 4 s9's and leave the work diff alone and let them do their thing. The seem to do fine and even better recently.

Hey all, newer member to the pool, have a quick question for you.

Most of my mining experience was with GPU rigs. I have some S9's now, presently 3 plugged in, more getting settled in.

I have been mining on Kano since March 7, (I like the vibe, the reward structure and the size) and now that I've let them mine for several weeks to sample some numbers, I have a couple of questions.

General question regarding pool & mining:

Are all shares equal?
Is the # of shares the most important statistic in terms of rewards?

I've attempted to do some research on this but there is a lot of dated information as well as varying pool reward structures so please bare with me.


I am using 13.5 S9's.

Is it better to leave it on variable difficulty and let it find it's own nirvana or is there a specific number that will work better?

#1 was the one with loose PCI connectors which have since been fixed but still throwing up invalids... can't imagine its due to networking as they are all hardwired into a 20 port switch on a short run next to each other...

Here I am at 0530 waiting for my coffee water to boil...doing my usual business of checking the pool, spot, etc. finding nothing exciting as yet...and as I log on the board, BLOCK...

I just love it when a plan comes together...

 

wow another block! 

Block 😍

Block weekend continues!

ding !!!

Block party weekend!

Mine on, sidewinder!

Under the current structure, there's a little over 600 miners that fit the Small Miner Bonus Hash giveaway criteria. If you've got more than 100 GH/s and less than 50 TH/s, you're eligible AND entered for each giveaway.

The lower boundary was chosen because ~450 GH/s over four days might not bust dust on its own, but my bar-napkin math says it'll benefit the recipient down to about that level.

The upper boundary was chosen because (bar-napkin math again) beyond that, 1% for four days, spread across 5Nd, really isn't much. It's not all that, at that level.


With all that being said, this program will continue, hopefully to expand over the coming weeks. Adding hash to the one-winner (current) plan is definitely a possibility. Also under consideration are a tiered giveaway (2 or 3 winners in different "brackets") and a Dust Buster program for the full 5Nd.

If anyone has suggestions, please submit them via the forum or pm (I might not be able to respond to pm's, tho - newbie status, but I WILL read every one).

And, as always,

Doesn't hurt to ask, I suppose...

For anyone who hasn't heard, anything outside of Kano's 5 & 9.5PH giveaway--0.5 & 1BTC respectively for up to 3 per person and up to 10BTC total--are free-will, miner donations. Kano's is on a whole 'nother level, but it still comes out of his pocket, technically.

What a great mining pool and community! IT'S THE BEST EVER!!!

Good afternoon from Kano.Is(land), where it'a always UTC.

Week 1 of the Small Miner Bonus Hash giveaway has concluded. Kano Pool miner kellenavaI received at least 96 hours of shares from an old S3.
Due to issues with the local network earlier today, we went a bit over on the time.

I'm going to take the little guy to his cell, take off his leash, and lock the door. He needs his rest (he really needs to retire).

Week 2 of the Kano Pool Small Miner Bonus Hash giveaway will start Tuesday morning, March 27.

Well. it's not a bad crawl space. I found a cubby hole that has a cool draft from outside and a 25-meter, 18-gauge extension cord to run the gear. It's not great, but it works. On the up-side, the rent is right - Kano hasn't found me to evict me. Yet.    I'm not sure if he's been on this part of the island lately. Also, I have an extra cord and space; with a little assist, I could give away more hash.

Re: Social Media

It's known that padrinogtr, Shazam!!!, and tnaa97 are promoting the pool - LOUD & PROUD. If you know of anyone else reaching out for the pool, let me know.

Well, that's this afternoon's news from Kano.Is(land), where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and luck always comes back to one-hundred percent.




 

when I wrote this, I was just joking. I really have a small hash ... but I do not need a reward, I'm used  satisfied with what I have   

The way I read the 1st post, it says 5PH/s through 10PH/s. Not just 10PH/s and above. I'm not sure what hashrate you have,
but if you're close to this you're Rockin!!!  Anything that far up is well out of my reach, and would be better left to Kano.



He is referring to the "Pass the Hash" give away. I believe if you are between 100GH/s and 50TH/s, you're eligible for the
weekly drawing.

Thanks everyone! We have been doing Great! The goal is to keep the hashrate up. The big help comes from everyone welcoming, and helping our new members into the pool. That helpful atmosphere is something I point out as I'm promoting.

I do have some time set aside this BTClock Weekend, to work on some more translating. Also, I've updated all of my graphics to our current posted hashrate. The feedback numbers I've seen, collectively, are well into the thousands. We are definitely getting noticed!
