Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 466. (Read 5352229 times)

Feb has to be one of the worst months in history for this pool. Half way thru the month and we’ve only found one block so far. Last month was 8. This month could potentially only be 2.

Been watching the forums from the sidelines since I started mining here jan 17th.  I was hoping this pool would be the pool for me from reading so many glowing reviews, but from my perspective only been here for 2 blocks and closing in on 30 days its kinda like smashing my head into a brick wall.  not too mention being broke with huge power bills.. 

Ive got the same questions as jeecom stated above, like are we the most unlucky pool? and how long until we turn this around? I know nobody can really answer that, but it seems were due for MAJOR blockage to even out this luck! or will i just bankrupt myself before that happens. I dont wanna pull my rigs off now that im fully ramped lol

You're so right! It's hilarious how dudes are becoming so predictable around here... "except probably DPos2" 

I had to go back and make a comment on this one since the thought crossed my mind:

What if the abrasiveness is actually a deliberate act to keep the pool from getting too big?! 

 

Looking at the block statistics, https://kano.is/index.php?k=blocks

If I am reading it correctly, it appears that we have had bad Luck% for all the block ranges except the last 500 blocks and All blocks, both of which are less than 2% on the positive side; whereas the other block groups are all greater than 2% on the negative side.

Shouldn't it be more distributed if it is random, or is 2204 blocks still too low sample size?


Also, in regards to the Last 88 Blocks chart, is there a place to see those details for the last 2204 blocks?

Thanks!

I can't watch it either, I get a "there's a problem with the network" error, but that Alton Brown video is f'in hilarious.
Mine on, and crack is not whack when talkin' 'bout blocks!

Thank you!

Might want to try clearing your browser. I literally just watched it before copying the link.

Edit: I went to check it, and it stopped about 2min in saying it has an error. It played fine the first time. I will find another, and  add it
to my post.

Video unavailable

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I think you may need to watch this video about AntMiner set up. It's for S7/S9.

https://youtu.be/CcJwEtd4x

After you get logged in on the miner, you need to choose one of the "stratum's" from the first post. Goodluck!!!

EDIT: If that video will not play, try this one:

https://youtu.be/LBKWNiwt1Ns

It's a little crude, but you'll get the info to set up the AntMiner.

Mining configuration:
Go to https://www.kano.is and register a username to mine with, by clicking on the Register/Reset link at the top right,
or mine directly to the pool without registering, using a bitcoin payment address as your username.
No password is required, so just use X for your password in your miner, since most miners need you to enter a password.

e.g.
On your miner setup page, use something like this:
Code:
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
+ Pool1:             | stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333  |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
+ Worker:            | Kano.worker                         |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
+ Password:          | x                                   +
+--------------------+-------------------------------------+
Of course replace 'Kano.worker' with your pool username.worker Smiley

If you have network issues using port 3333, you can also try:
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:80

You can also try any of:
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:81
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:443
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:8080

There are other nodes located around the world that you may be closer to:
stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333 (NewYork)
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 (Netherlands)
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333 (Germany)
stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333 (Japan)

As with the main stratum node, each of those nodes allows mining to port 3333, 80, 81, 443 and 8080

If you have more than a petahash of mining hardware (not rental) I can setup a node near you, only for large miners, if servers are available, at no cost to you Smiley

Your worker name can be whatever you choose and will be created when your miner connects to the pool.
Registered username or Bitcoin address, followed by a dot '.' or an underscore '_', followed by a worker name.
If you supply an invalid Bitcoin address, you will be unable to authenticate and mine on the pool.

If you have an Asicminer Tube, you will need to mine to:
stratum+tcp://nonce.kano.is:27181
It won't work properly on any other mining port. Don't point normal miners here.
Your Tube miner stats will show up in your account without their worker name.

If you mine to a bitcoin address, you can view a simple json user or worker level stat (using your own address) at:
http://www.kano.is/address.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb
http://www.kano.is/worker.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb_worker

Pool settings
The pool is configured to start you mining at 4098 difficulty.
The pool adjusts the per instance difficulty to maintain an average share rate of approximately 3 shares per 10 seconds (18 shares per minute)
However, there is a lower limit set on the difficulty of 442.
If you mine with a username, you can login to the web interface and set a minimum difficulty for mining.
If this value is below the pool calculated value, you'll get the pool calculated value.
If you mine with a BTC address as your username, you can use the cgminer option --suggest-diff to set it for each cgminer.
You can, of course, also use --suggest-diff if you mine to a username.

Coins
The pool itself has no wallet, only bitcoind's running without a wallet.
The Coins go to a separate, unattached wallet that the payouts come from.

Transactions
The pool will mine any and all transactions that the standard bitcoind core will accept.
The relevant setting I currently use in bitcoin.conf is:
 blockmaxweight=3968888 (changed to this on 12-Nov-2017)
I run a modified bitcoind that optimises the processes of verifying blocks and generating work.
These optimisations are code based, not transaction based.
I do not blacklist addresses, I do not prioritise transactions for any companies ... though I do prioritise our own transactions of course Smiley
If this should ever change, I will post the details when I do the change with the reasons why.

How? Please help!!

Is there any way that you can shave your post?

Edit: Just noting that the answer to both questions above is "Yes!"

Yes, you pretty much linked the answer in the very first post that you quoted.

lol, if you join this pool (or any other one), you play by the pool's rules.  If you don't like it, well you can always solo mine too as that way you'll surely get your way! 

Yep, some people get it, and others need to be beat on the head a few times before they get it.   


MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN! 

Exactly, it's not like kano is going to change this pool, so one guy with 60k worth of miners can get his way.  It's kano's pool, not krisgt's pool.  People fail to understand this point over and over and over again.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the active members of this board.
Reading the discussions here daily has been very valuable to me.

I am 47, have a family, have only 5 S7's but my electric is cheap and I count my blessings each day!

Mine on with Kano!

My 22TH is still stuck on the east coast...should be here soon.
