Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 66. (Read 5352140 times)

Well the base hash rate is still around 45-50PH, and the rest is failover.


I don't try and mislead the miners about the pool hash rate, unlike ckpool who has not changed their hash rate down for about 10 days that it's been well under half what it says.

Where is this 400PH coming from???

Well - there are ways to do it - but the miners would most likely notice unless they completely ignore their miners.

e.g. I could redirect the pool hash rate to a PPS pool and get paid for your hash rate there - the effect would be worse luck or no blocks depending on how much I redirected.
The miner's work would also be going to another pool - and any miner that found a block, you can easily reverse calculate the best share to find the block hash of the block on the 'other' pool - I posted some PHP about how to do that quite a while ago.
Of course a miner couldn't do that themselves, a miner can only withhold blocks so that no one gets them.
If I withheld the blocks from the PPS pool, your miner would still say it found a block.

The big problem with this, however, is that CrapHash came up with the stratum extension called #extranonce that allows a pool/proxy to send any work to mine to any pool and any coin without the miner ever showing that it changed.
It's a MAJOR security flaw and isn't in cgminer - but I think at one point Bitmain put it in their miners - though I don't know if it still is or not.
Basically the pool can randomly send you a work change for some other pool or coin and then switch you back, without your miner ever reporting this in any way at all.

The issue in all this is that if you ever find a block, you can tell in your miner and trace it back to the Bitcoin block from the best share difficulty, or if your miner says it found a block but the best share is very low, then it was probably some altcoin

I am curious: can a pool operator (not of this pool, obviously) divert hash power (overtly) and do whatever he/she pleases without anyone noticing?
I found some references that bitcoin.com and antpool did just that.

Kano has been working on the Accounting code for a while now.  I've not seen an announcement that it's gone live yet, though.
On another note, my S15 has arrived at the ice mines and I await it's awakening!! 

I was looking at Help -> Payouts on the kano.is site to remember what the dust threshold was but see no mentions of it anywhere. Does it not exist anymore? Did he automate dust payments?

Lets go first block of 2019!

We get paid once a Block is solved here and it's got 100 confirmations from the Network.  There is a dust threshold, depends on both pool and your own hashrate.  Payments less than 0.0001BTC will accumulate in your account until Kanosan finishes the Acounting code which was scheduled to be finished sometime soon.
Mine ON!

Smaller miner here. How would I go about getting paid out?

Is there a certain threshold to hit?

As it says on the home web page:

"stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333 (Germany)"

so yep you obviously have the right server.

Yes! appreciate your reply.

Great! there is a local server (home ground soil to farm...) that complies to my requirement, and good to know, "No Alt. coin non-science here ..."

Think I found my pool to join if I am allowed as I am not too agreeable to those very "commercial" sites that are really thinking for their own pockets and share holders which is not wrong also... just my personal opinion.

Will be setting up my Hub Plot with Trees sticks directing my harvest to Kano asap.

Thank you very much for your quick respond, and yes, I'll continue my research in this interesting thread of 2K over pages to read and digest...

Have a great week!

Greetings and Happy New Year 2019,you too =)

What is nearest location on bitcoin server? I use Germany. 1Th/s is not a lot hashing power.

Can i contact on Ckpool This way? So they listen me on my technical issues on pool/AntMiner S5, its not working and i must be offline on mining pool.
"Ignored me!" 

KanoPool is KanoPool - not in any way related to any the other pools.
The servers are listed on the home page https://kano.is/
That includes an SG server.

The other pools you list, you wouldn't want to touch with a barge pole.
High fees, un-monitored servers, fake or completely missing stats, lost blocks, no interest in the miners at all.
Here I charge a low fee and have the most active support of the pool and miners and the best block distribution of any pool.

Alt-coins are off topic for this entire section of the bitcointalk forum so no point asking about there here.

Hi, New Year 2019 Greetings to All.

I'm a newbee here, and just got interested into mining with a small startup with Gekkoscience Newpac SHA256 x 10 sticks to learn and understand more about Bitcoin mining.

Please excuse my intrusion and apologize if this is not the thread to post this question here as there is simply much reading to do in this 2K over posting here, if so please help re-direct.
Thank you.


Had started in solo.ckpool.org (BTC.com affiliate?) as per instructed in USB sticks instruction.PDF. Switch to slushpool (b'cos of sg Server) but payout at 0.01 / 0.001 that will take 80 years. After browsing the internet, discovered about Kano.pool.

Just one dumb question?
Is BTC.com (China) related to CKpool, and how are they related to Kano-pool (sg server) ...? may need a quick recap on the history lesson since 2014 ..

Which is better to mine with present mining setup? and location in Singapore? ... pm me if not convenient to reply here.

Also,
Exploring into categorizing higher PTH mining hash equipment for other algorithm, Scrypt, Ethash, x11, etc. individually with promising investors (friends and old buddies) but with Main Coin and Alt. coin to mine, so if you have any good advice, even critics, I am most welcome to consider, thanks.

Thank you and have a great time enjoy Mining Your Own Business ... Hehe ...

I cheked all secondary pools and it had been mining for tha last two days on Nicehash,
although the setting says it has been mining on Kano.

I got your point and like your purist approach,
 will switch again to your pool when I get access.

Conections from MRR were coming in on the IP address.
Also, when you send your shares via some other convoluted path, then you are delaying them getting to the pool and increasing the chance of a stale block.
Point miners DIRECTLY at the nodes, OR to a proxy that is on the same network as the miners, not anywhere else.

As for where your miners went - I've no idea - check your miner settings - that will say where it was mining.
Not here.
I simply blocked a subnet of public server IP address from being able to access any pool servers anywhere, since they included rentals and also had a lot of small accounts doing who knows what, but not mining.

I'm using Mining Rig Rentals as a "router" to change pools if needed.
I use it because I have to request access first, and then wait for approval
before I can access my miner. As a workarround I found that I can use MRR
for both pool management and monitoring without login.
I used high prices so almost nobody really rents my rig.

Is this not allowed?

If you blocked it, where did the TH went for the last two days then?

As I've said many times, I block IP addresses/proxies that I find using rentals.
Though this single proxy IP address had quite a number of tiny accounts on it - so even more concerning ...

This is what I was meaning
