Anyone else seeing this trying to log into kano.is?
Too many accesses, come back later
It means you used an invalid username multiple times or got your password wrong multiple times.Too many accesses, come back later
To check your username, look at your miner settings - your username is the front part of the workername up to before the "." or "_" - it's also case sensitive.
If you still want help getting in then you'll have to PM me your username and IP address so I can clear the ban early (or visit IRC and tell me them)

The SG node is playing up yet again.
There have been a few disconnects over the last half hour, though it doesn't seem to be connecting to the main node.
Still awaiting them sort out what's up with the network in Singapore ...
Hopefully the few miners there have backup pools to JP or stratum.

I used Google Authenticator , but I changed my phone . I can't sign in my account . Please help me!
When you set up 2FA it said to save the Secret Key.You can use that Secret Key to manually set it up on the apps listed on the 2FA page.

I have only just begun to MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN. Come On Block!! Many pieces of Yellowtail and Tuna Sashimi were offered today for the cause. Dancing shoes cleaned and shined, Shrine to Anime Goddess fully constructed, Chicken Coup restocked..... it is time to get Jiggy wit it!!! Come On Block!!

So a million S9's use 1,400 million Watts of power, or 1.4 GigaWatts of power.
The total annual electric energy generated by humanity is about 24,000 TeraWatt-hours. (wikipedia)
Final improved calc (I also made a mistake in original calc)
1.4 Gwh for miners
2.31 TWh (2310 Gwh) continuous average for Earth
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_energy_consumption
1.4/2310=0.0006 or 0.06%
maybe if you count less efficient miners, the real number is 50% higher (although I doubt it because old miners like S7produce 3-4 times less than S9) to 0.1%
0.1% is max, with 0.07-0.075% being more realistic.
However, banks consume at least five times more energy:

In your experience, does the reward make up for the long wait before a block is found? I currently average 0.002918071 per day with Slushpool with only one S9.
Yes, absolutely. I switched from Slush to Kano and I definitely see the difference. Slush is a fine pool, nothing wrong with it, but the fee is higher than Kano (2% vs .9% when he has it). The pool is much smaller, so the variance is higher, but the payouts are great when they come.
Thanks a bunch wavelengthsf. I'll give it a try for about a week or two and see how it goes. Hopefully great!!
same here !
i will update and pls do the same as soon as you get rewarded

Does ckpoolmonitor or any of the monitors email you when a block is found? I really want to stop polling the Kano site every 20 minutes to an hour. Is there any mechanism to push notify when blocks are found?
Well sending an email isn't much use for a phone app They alert you about blocks.But the web one that Zach runs I think does.

Well, I've been checking it - it's only an order-of-magnitude estimate - but I think this is right - can you spot me?
(in round numbers) The hash rate of the bitcoin network is around 14,000,000 terahashes per second.
An S9 does about 14 terahashes per second and uses about 1,400 Watts of power. (ignoring less efficient miners)
So that means the bitcoin network is using the hashing equivalent of about 1,000,000 of the S9 antminers. (assumes most-efficient case?)
So a million S9's use 1,400 million Watts of power, or 1.4 GigaWatts of power.
The annual energy use for bitcoin is therefore (1.4 GigaWatts) * (8760 hours in a year) = 12,264 GigaWatt-hours or ~12 TeraWatt-hr of energy.
The total annual electric energy generated by humanity is about 24,000 TeraWatt-hours. (wikipedia)
Thus bitcoin uses 0.05% of all electrical energy generated if only the most efficient miners are used.
Allowing for inefficient miners, we'll say 0.1% - 1% of all electricity generated. (to nearest order of magnitude)
maybe recheck your math?
I get the number for all electricity of 20.9 PWh (20.9X10^15)
hash rate is 16000000 Th/s, which is the equivalent of 1.185 mil S9 (boy, it's a lot).
That many S9 consume about 1.54Gwh (1.54X10^9)
1.54/20900000 [PW converted to Gw]=0.73X10^10-7
so, mining currently consumes less than 1/10000000 of all earth electricity or 0.00001%.
If being generous and assume that 50% comes from less productive macines, then 0.00002%

I just calculated, based on the global hashrate, that bitcoin mining uses between 0.1% (if all miners are S9's) and 1% (if a mix of newer and older hashers are in use) of all the electric energy generated by mankind.

How amazing would his be? Is there a downside I haven’t considered?

And to hopefully squash further speculation on this, reality check:https://www.chinamoneynetwork.com/2018/01/05/beijing-considers-policies-potentially-ban-bitcoin-mining-china
https://www.coindesk.com/report-pboc-quashes-rumor-it-would-shutter-chinas-bitcoin-mines/
Just as with the 'China bans exchanges' rumor last year some fool got hold of a piece of information, extrapolated its meaning to fit their biases or agenda, and then posted their speculation to that bane of civilized discussion and reason - Social Media. From there what started as a mild cough exploded into plague...

That much energy would run some respectably-sized factories (or cities). Maybe China wants to keep power directed toward industry?
Also, Jørgen Randers mentioned in 2014 that Norway owns something like 10% of all the stocks in the world (he says, "filthy-rich Norwegians"). That's what they did with their share of the North Sea Oil earnings. It sort of makes sense that a couple of Norwegians would acquire so much mining hardware...
I wonder if that wouldn't make coins value drop. If it does, it is bad for everyone.
Sure their electrical grid would sure appreciate it.
Meanwhile we got these Norwegian dudes claiming to be hosting 50% of Chinas hashrate sometime in 2018.

Anyone? 
(The status on the pool itself for these two is "Matured.")
Yep they're unconfirmed. (The status on the pool itself for these two is "Matured.")
Hi All - has anyone else noticed that the last couple of payouts for kano PPLNS do not seem to be confirming in Bitcoin Core v0.14.0 (64-bit)?
This seems a little odd.
This is what I'm seeing for the last 2 payouts, in BC Core:
Status: 0/unconfirmed, in memory pool...
Date: 12/31/17 18:34
From: unknown
...
Normally I would see something like this (from three payouts ago...):
Status: 1166 confirmations
Date: 12/30/17 08:02
From: unknown
...

That how bitcoin works.
You send out a transaction, then some time after that, they get confirmed.
Since our payout transaction pays over 1000 people, it's a pretty big transaction.
As it says on the Help->Payouts page, they will be confirmed in the next block we find.
