Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 521. (Read 5352367 times)

It's comments like this that make me understand the ramp more and more. I have zero complaints so far from this community or the payouts. The luck sucks right now, but that's luck for ya. We also had one hellova luck streak with 4 blocks in a couple days. I'm happy, but if bright lights and colors are needed to keep you clapping your hands, you could always leave......unless you have a couple thousand terahash, then moan as much as you wish. Happy mining.

This isn't exactly how you win new people over, homey.

The website looking like a middle school science fair project with an app to match IS a legitimate issue. Someone suggesting that making it more usable than the current pile of dogshit would cost over 100k? or take time; implying that over three years isn't enough? Come on, lets be realists.

ROI is why I chose this pool, and adding a bit more horsepower to the pool would help lower the awesome variance.

I was sitting here trying to figure out why my S7's were screaming at me. They all caught back on, but my ths never fully recovered. I'm not sure what's going on here but here's a snipet from where I lost stratum and my miners haven't recovered though all workers are hashing.

Beat me to it. I was going to say, while I agree that the site may not be the most visually stimulating and your points are not ridiculous, it takes time and money to get what you are asking. I am sure that if someone offers to pay Kano 10 BTC to update the site he would have no problem adding those features for you.

Ever wondered where the time and $$ comes from to make websites glitz and glamour? Or for that matter to pay to maintain them?  If so, you'll know exactly why there is the difference between payouts, pool fees, miner rewards, etc.

It's ok, bud. You may be happier at slush, but you'll make more here. Are your feelings and impressions of GUI's more important than your wallet balance?

edit: wanted to add that the website has all the information you need. 'sall good, homey.

As a new miner, my gripes are many; take it as constructive criticism.


There are a lot of repeated questions on here that could be easily addressed by an updated more concise website.

There is no way to know exactly where your ramp is, and with a ramp up taking over a full difficulty adj period, that is a lot of time to wait, coming from someone who already waited 2 plus months for their miner to arrive.

The website sucks: Compare it to slush, because yes that is the biggest competitor. Their interface is gorgeous. Lots of information, lots to see. All relevant stuff is addressed and laid out.

The app sucks: Again compared to slush, its ridiculous.


Spend the time and money to update the site. Make it more user friendly.(read newcomer) I'm slowly getting the hang of things, but I have to say none of the questions I've needed addressed would have happened at slush. Theres really no reason for the website and app to suck so hard in what is more or less the top of the computing world.

Nope.

Hi
Have good time
I do agree that the ramp up and ramp down are far too long, since they are more than 14 days (difficulty adjustment).  I know more hash rate would help get that further down, but it can be one minor negative to new miners who come online with koan.

Don't you have some miners at that other pool? 

IIRC a few posts back someone compared their rewards on Kano versus rewards they received on Slush, and the rewards from Kano were far greater than Slush's. Mathematically Kano will always pay more than Slush with lower fees as luck comes and goes. The only way the ramp will go down is if more people join. That's just how PPLNS works on this pool to reduce variance.

MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

In a bunch of other hobbies that I have, it seems the same concept applies... Appliance operators and those that understand the technology and how to apply it.  I drank the slushie and left it because the more I understand the process the more this pool makes sense.  When I was an appliance operator, slushies seemed/felt good... but they were just slushies.

I understand it, but it's still terrible marketing.  The pool isn't going to grow.

I switched and am on day 8 or 9 of 'slushpool' detox, and I understand ithe ramp, but the pool is never going to grow much bigger until it's moderated a bit.  16-24 days for full ramp?  That is an eternity in crypto, and this pool has all the makings for a pool of ghost miners still trying to crack a block after a year or more at sea.  Even a 1 week ramp would keep out most of  the rifraf.  

Either way, I hope it works out, am leaving my hash here, and hoping we crack a block soon...  But the future seems like the pool will stay the same size as everyone else grows.  Not good.

You guys and your drama... 

Quit yapping and get jiggy. Block is around the corner.

Ive switched from slush 5 days ago to come here...I used to make about 120$ every 3 days there... Now that im with kano, I still havent made a single dime and im getting to 3th on the ramp....still 11th to go...

Im just hoping I didnt made a bad decision switching here because of diff rising and that ramping... Time is money and its fly
!! I came here because of all the good comments on the op and it looks like a big fam.

Anyways, I've put all my trust in Kano and feel like im here to stay!

Lets mine on and CRACK A DAMN BLOCK!

Probably not appropriate for this forum.  But if you run a 741 and an 821 on the same controller, which firmware will you run on the controller?  the 821 or the 741?  And when  it comes time to update the MM firmware one won't know how to do that other.  You get the I2C block with either, and rPi3's are pretty cheap and the firmware is online for free.  So why not put the 741's on one and the 821's on the other... That's my plan.

Besides at the end of the day aren't you infinitely more happy that you don't have to have a million enet cables connected, one each to every miner like you do on some brands ...

But seriously, this really isn't a Pool question, it's a hardware one and you would probably be served better asking it there to the Avalon guys.

Wow...what a way to return from 36 hours of recovering my workstation's primary HDD fail...  

I see all these comments, and actually took the time to read the last couple of pages. I run 43TH. I've been mining since the white paper. I've worked at senior levels in banking and IT.

Sure, I'm concerned about the lack of activity. No sane person would not be. I'm not panicking, though, as I sense a number of folks here are doing. I have to cough up USD$1200 every quarter for my hosting fees. I cleared my Core when I thought the government shutdown would be worse than it was (I remember former ones). I have to accumulate that value before Mar 1, and I have to have another two blocks to get there; I had figured before the end of January, but that may take a bit longer. When I get a block reward, however, at present spot that's maybe USD$400. So, once I've made the reserve for hosting, the rest is profit for me until March.

My machines all paid for themselves in less than 90 days. Bitcoin could completely go away tomorrow and I would not go broke by any means. I could have done the same biz plan with ten times that hash, but that's not what I'm into, and didn't want to answer to partners, deal with the paperwork, etc. I'm too old for that shit.  

This pool has performed well for me for several years. I have no reason to doubt the veracity of Kano, or the operation. Luck is what it is. Kano would be shooting himself in the foot to mess with it all, and I value the transparency here more than anything.

One unrelated question...anyone had to install Core from the snap source in Ubuntu's software center, then bring in a wallet from one's previous Core? The names are different, for one thing.

Mine on.

I also agree with it being important to handle a few months of bad luck.  In fact I am prepared to lose everything I have put in - much like how I treat the lottery.  Although I can guarantee you that I would do much more heavy duty whining for a year at least if that happened.

I agree with rifleman74, if your margins are so tight that you cannot afford one or two months of bad luck, then you really have no business being involved in BTC!
