Didn’t know you were Russian Buddha!   Пpиятнo пoзнaкoмитьcя!   

Guys can someone please tell me if the Segwit2x happened today or not?  Thanks!  

I try to assume good intentions in people. Unfortunately, I can no longer do so for @jgarzik. My judgement is that he is acting to disrupt the bitcoin network to advance his own interests.
Segwit2x was announced abandoned last week, but there are still some residual nodes in the network. This morning, those nodes froze at block 494,782. That's two blocks before the intended hard fork at 494,784.
...
Looking at the code, it appears that Jeff made an off-by-one error. That's not entirely surprising. The VersionBitsState() code is confusing, and the commit where Jeff added the hard fork code had no review- https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin/pull/50
I then took a look at the miner activation code. There's another bug there. In the BlockAssembler constructor code, fWitnessSeasoned is being accessed before initialization. The result: no large block can be mined to trigger the fork.
This is a simple bug. Any reasonably competent coder would have spotted this (not least because a compiler or static analysis could have warned that a member was being accessed before initialization). Any reasonable review process would have caught this. Sadly btc1 had neither.
When I pointed this out to Jeff, he immediately created a patch and pushed it out.
In case it's not clear: SegWit2x only makes sense if it has consensus and can bring the network with it. That's what we were told again and again: 2x is an upgrade and will become the one true chain.
...
Trying to create a SegWit2x fork at this point, when it's clear that it doesn't have consensus, is simply sowing discord and confusion.
There are more bugs in the btc1 code. I can't in good conscience reveal what those are, since I have no intention of helping create a disruptive hard fork.
In case it's not clear: no-one should run btc1 code. It is untested, unreviewed, buggy and can only serve to disrupt and confuse the Bitcoin network.

Hey, kano-san, could you please officially announce the no-fee promotion in a different post with no other info, so that I could announce it to some Russian-speaking communities and give a link to it? Some big guys don't speak English but probably will get interested in a no-fee offer.

Thanks for replying bro! Appreciate it!

Meaning to say, if we don't see any block found in 5 days, then we're not getting paid.. is that correct?

Thanks again!

No block no pay

Once you login to your account on kano.is the Rewards page shows you how much of each block found you earned as a reward, the payment page then shows you what payments were sent to your bitcoin wallet.

Make sure you have setup a bitcoin wallet to have payments sent to otherwise you won't get any. Lots of people forget to do that.

Also you won't get a reward until we find a block, and you won't get paid until that block has matured (thats after its had 100+ confirmations on the blockchain) even then you don't get anything into you wallet until the payment is confirmed either by us finding the next block or it being confirmed by other miners.

Also there is a ramp up and ramp down period called 5nd which currently takes about 21 days, so you won't get the full payment until that time, but if you stop mining for any reason it will keep paying out till it ramps down.

More details here: https://kano.is/index.php?k=payout

PS:   This may be a newbie question but:   Are there large "hired gun" mining farms that can help small pools struggling with a big bad block?    Just was wondering.  Seems like a nice niche for a big farm.  You know - some pre-agreed arrangement for share calculation and/or a premium?   If you had a couple dozen peta-hashes and some good management software to make the redirects easy then you could be a white knight and make a few dollars more than you would ordinarily and minimize the effect of bad luck for resident miners:  Seems like a win-win for everyone.  But then again this may just be my newbie-ness talking.

Me and my single 741 are for hire  (-:

Gonna do another KanoDB restart in 10 minutes.
NO miners will be affected.

This tiny update adds the code to allow me to adjust the fee on a range of payouts.
It's set it to no fee from the next block after I restart ... so the sooner I restart the better for everyone
It's set it to end at 2018-01-01 00:00 - so for the rest of the year.

... and if anyone notices it gets it wrong let me know
The Miner Reward shown on the Rewards page should equal the Block Reward on the Blocks page from now til the end of the year.

Go find all your buddies with 10-50PHs and get them to come mine here

Newbie question: how do you count the payout hehe and also how do you guys liquidate your mined BTC?

Been mining for a few days now hehe
