Great to see us back to "normal".
I like the biggish payments these days
Will the gone hashpower come back in a while kano?
Thanks and
MINE ON!
Well I'm still processing 60 days of data (it's completed more than 21 days and 35 blocks from the start of September)
Once I complete that I'll report the results here (and to the large miners that left) and I guess we'll see if they come back or not.
I'm also going to have a zero-fee month coming soon to see if that will bring on board more miners.
More miners means less variance - and that's what's been the aim this year.
Seems like bad luck popped it's head up and destroyed that idea
The fact that we already have less than half the fees of slush seems to not bother anyone mining there, so the only way I can lower that is to temporarily have no fees
Obviously I'll announce things when they are ready ...
I've completed the verification of the data that I wanted to check.
The reprocessing run was 63 days of data from 1-Sep to 2-Nov
KanoDB reprocessed all valid shares from before the block 482985: 2017-09-01 14:58:59.02 - the first block in September,
to the stale block 492189: 2017-10-29 10:56:16.49 - the last one in October, though I continued through to the end of the 2nd of Nov, just before the first block in Nov.
All blocks found matched, no extras were found in the data.
The KanoDB code (now) does full share validation by hashing the work that the miner used to find the share/block and compares that to the numbers provided by the pool code, to make sure they are correct.
It also does a proper block difficulty check rather than the approximate one that the pool code does.
I'll put live the changes to KanoDB and the pool code soon, once I've completed testing the KanoDB block submission code.
