Would it be possible to add a "Best Share Since Last Block" metric (for the pool) on the site?

Something like: http://solo.ckpool.org/pool/ shows?

This would of course reset when we find a block - but it'd be a fun data point to see how close a share was.

And big surprise you are going to find a strong "Pro KanoPool" opinion from folks in this forum.

If it surprises you go and try to get a response or explanation of how the pool operates from A*t*o*l admins in their bitcointalk thread and then come back with the link to the results. Then I'll reconsider my personal "Pro KanoPool oppinion"

To me it always seems like every time I buy a new miner, luck turns to shit. Or every time I have an important transfer, we run into 50 minutes network block and the mempool backs up and I wind up getting my transaction stuck for an unending period of time.

Human mind evolved in the world where uncertainty was dangerous. If you don't know (can't predict) whether a tiger is going to attack you - you're dead. If you can't predict the weather and the storm ruins your house and kills your cattle - you're dead. So our mind subconsciously treats "random" "luck" "variance" or anything we don't possess control of as smth dangerous. This way religions and superstiotions emerged - they gave people the illusion of control over circumstances. And if they failed (and they usually did) they told ppl it was because of their sins, bad carma or wrong sacrifice ritual, and that gave another run to an illusion that uncontrollable circumstances could still be managed.
So it's natural that it seems to you that way. Because mathematics is highly unnatural to human mind)))

Yes, I said this because I have a pro KanoPool opinion too. It was sarcasm meant to express my confusion as to why someone would be surprised to find pro Kano people in a Kano pool thread.

Yes, 125 hours is getting kind of ridiculous and please stop with that animal cruelty shit.  Maybe that why we don’t get a block!  Angry

Shall we sacrifice a doll?

A full sacrifice require removal of head.  Please sacrifice another one.   Probably why we haven't hit a block yet.  Wink

Time to sacrifice the virgins now!

Already?

Yep, this may be a 500% block.  The virgins need to take one for the team.

I like the web site the way it is too.

Looks like it's down...
Well it should never not work, but on occasion it may give the reloading/timeout message.
Obviously it's reloading when I do a reload - but I always post about them when I do them, or shortly after if KanoDB restarts itself - and the Stats page says when that was last.
The timeout occurs for another reason, but I can't see that in the console in the last 2 hours.

Free mining equipment tracking and reporting
Yeah there's a few requirements in that though that most web designers don't understand Smiley
(and most pools don't understand either)

I'll list them here so if anyone else is interested in doing anything, they'll know the requirements.
1) Requests (as few as possible)
When you access a page on our web site, it returns one blob of text, and the only other request your browser makes is to get the tiny images in the top left (usually just the eye)
Though, the index page (that's not much use except the first time you visit the site) includes the background image.

Most web sites break everything up into multiple files that the browser caches, but the browser has to check each one with multiple requests across the internet.

...

4) 'Flashy'
Well, if it involves anything like flash or other scripting languages to produce animated images, then that's completely out.

The bottom line is that the site contains more than the necessary information, it's fast to load, and it's secure.

... and a bit of information about the current web server - it's Load Average is usually around 0.00 to 0.01 - and it handles about 150-200K requests a day at the moment.
I am assuming that your web server is separate from the miner processing and with the low loads, you may have some room for a little bit of flashy.  I have only been here for a few months and I am very used to the familiar look of the site.  I suspect a fair number of people are reading the home page for info about block changes (as I do).  If it were me, I would have the home page be a static .html page that gets updated once a minute for those using it for processing.  The browser would cache that page in most cases, and if not, it loads directly.  Inside of that, I would add a couple lines of javascript to load a json encoded set of values for the few dynamic fields from your server including how many seconds to delay for the next "ping".  That would be 100 bytes or less, so not a lot of traffic, but yes, it is a hit.  Once loaded, update those fields and set it up to do it again in however many seconds your server determines was safe (and random to distribute the load).  You could even do something like the page count on bottom left of strandvision dot com where the javascript has a starting value, starting time and increment value per 1/10th second and have the shares actively count up as an estimate till the next update.  On the server side, I would cache the dynamic fields once per second (memory or disk) to reduce database queries for all these repeat queries.

Also, with the importance of fees, I would also consider adding a current block value to the home page stats to help miners understand how frequently the transactions change and get a feel for where the mempool is (and user urgency) at the moment.

If you are using a LAMP setup, I would be willing to do this for you for free.  I also think that some enhancements to your API may help grow the site.  I have a pretty flexible API library that can optionally do tracking, limiting, checksum verification with a secret for some calls, security groups of access levels - all can be individually configured per key.  The actual code for the api call is a php script object that can utilize any of your existing code to build a php array.  That array is sent back to the API library which formats to the user's preference of json or xml.  I would be willing to offer that to your for free and if you like, willing to put in the couple hours to get it incorporated into your site.  If you feel comfortable with my work, I would also be willing to help with other API pieces including the payment reporting for each miner.

If you would like my help, I could probably complete these in 2 to 3 weeks (have a full time job to keep up with too).

I am also building up minergain dot com which will eventually do a fair bit of this as well - although delayed by a minute in most cases.  That is free for anyone interested although obviously not as far along as Kano's site.

I like the website as is. It's fast and provides all of the info I need. The only thing i wish you would change is the link to this forum on the homepage. It would be nice if when clicked it went to the most recent post/page. Maybe the link below would work.

Added it to the beginning of the first post here instead.
I'd prefer people who come here to read some of the first post, if they've never been here before Smiley

For those who have never been here they do need to read the first post to get some context Smiley

For those of us who follow along, this link will do it for you... Cheesy
