Topic: KanoPool kano.is lowest 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Worldwide - 2432 blocks - page 884. (Read 5352420 times)

We mine BTC only.
From the fork onwards, new block rewards and new transactions are only one side or the other.

If you have a wallet you control, you can clone it and make it into a BCH wallet using the BCH version of bitcoin.
However, it muxt have been done before the fork, to 'just work'
After the fork (now) you have to roll back the blocks and transaction since the fork, so what bitcoin does is effectively wipe it all and start again, but using your keys from your wallet, it of course doesn't wipe the wallet, and then rebuilds everything back up to the fork, then continues on again on the other fork.

WARNING, if you do clone your wallet, I've heard from someone who did it, that the fork bitcoin client uses the same folders by default, so will overwrite you bitcoin data.
Thus you'd have to use the datadir option to point it to another folder, or better, run the clone on another computer.

Kano I have a question....  do miners have to pick on which of the 2 networks they need to mine the BTC or BCC?  Or do we just mine regularly and if we do then we just receive the BTC or the BCC as well?  Might be a dumb question but I pretty new to this stuff.   

Payout Information

So the payout handling for B-Day (yeah I think that name is an appropriate play on D-Day) will be as follows:

I'm queueing up 478254 and 478261 right now to go out as soon as they Mature - as per normal.

The 'expected' Maturity times at the moment are: ~3:50am (478254) and ~5:00am UTC (478261)
That gives a bit over 19 hours to confirm them before 1-Aug 0:20 UTC

Currently we expect to average ~13hrs per block so there's a reasonably high probability they will both be confirmed before B-Day
If not, well I don't REALLY think it matters, but we'll see anyway

478295, on the other hand is expected to Mature at ~10:40am UTC, and with the ~13hrs before it's average 'expected to be confirmed', that lands it close to B-Day arrival time.

So, I'll hold back sending out the payment for 478295 (and any blocks found after 478295) until tomorrow.

Again, I don't see why there should be any problems at all with Bitcoin on B-Day, but considering the melodrama going around, it's not really that big a deal to add a short delay to just a few payouts.

... and anyone who is really concerned can also have me hold their 'unqueued' payouts until they are no longer concerned as per the web site says.

--

Edit: I also set 42,000 sat in each one as a txn fee - about $1 - to see if that makes others confirm them also.
The Bitcoin transaction rate really has dropped recently - often block aren't full - so there's probably a higher chance of it getting into another pool's block if there's some tiny fee in it.
Anyway - we'll see if that makes any difference for those 2 payouts.

For those interested
This might actually be working - it now shows no BCH blocks ... correctly ... 5 mins before the 'fork'
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/blocks

That might well show reasonably quickly (hours) how much hash rate has gone from Bitcoin.

If anyone wants me to hold their payouts - they can request it (but send an email from your pool account email address to the address you get pool messages from)
However, the held payouts will sit in your dust fund until I do the dust processing code, some time in the future, in a galaxy far far away.

Also, tell me ASAP, coz once I've created the payout for any block, which is before it matures, I'd have to redo the payout from scratch to change anything, and of course once it's matured, the transaction is out on the bitcoin network, so I certainly wont be trying to double spend it, to change it.

It's not an on, off, on, off, on, off thing I will be doing, just a once off thing now you can request over the next few days, then later request it back on again.

Edit: OK added a link to here, on the web site also.

hope so.

Thx, works great! Two new miners on your pool

Try pinging any in the thread title to find the closest one to you.
i.e. de, sg, jp, nl, and nya.kano.is

Wow, nearly 40 hours without finding any blocks

Question, can't seem to find a list of pool servers to connect to. Help shows "stratum.kano.is" but that seems to be in the US. Is it recommended to use only that one or is a closer one a smarter move?

Dear kano,
Do you support mining Bitcoin Cash? We use the same asic miner to mine?

Regards,

Would that be these?

Well you'd have to look for rejected blocks in your bitcoin debug.log
