However at this point, if I had to choose between inner workings of the pool and the pretty stuff I tend to agree with you in that I would rather see kano's time spent under the hood. My comment was more or less intended as an idea that could help foster future growth.
The impression I've got from Kano and his pool is that he doesn't particularly care to grow it.  I mean I'm sure he's stoked that it's where it is today, but I remember when it was a 1-3PH pool and it still had all the potential is does today but for whatever reason it was underutilized, and it didn't seem to me that he went out of his way to try to attract users by any other means than providing the most efficient pool software that he could.

Why give (false?) impressions and try to lure people with bells and whistles?  You even admitted, once you learned you moved to kano, so will the other newbies.  I don't think he cares to attract people (or waste his coding time) with fluff and no substance when that effort could be put into making the pool actually run better, not just look different.

I think we are in agreement here, however I do believe that there is a value in aesthetically pleasing layouts. Kano is an awesome pool, I don't think that giving it a facelift would give anyone a false impression considering the history of the pool. In ecommerce, millions upon millions of dollars are spent in research figuring out what people want the site to look like so that they'll visit site xyz more than site abc. If there was ever a desire or push to increase kano's pool size I think a refresh would be helpful. However at this point, if I had to choose between inner workings of the pool and the pretty stuff I tend to agree with you in that I would rather see kano's time spent under the hood. My comment was more or less intended as an idea that could help foster future growth.

I don't mine at kano.is because it is not a Chinese pool. Yes, I know he has a couple of Chinese relay nodes, but that is not good enough for me.

To all the people who just want to "make more money in the long run", guess what ? In the long run we are all dead.

Chinese pools are all sheyt. Simple as that. Cheesy

I did some test mining a whole week in ckpool and I concluded that F2Pool pays more.

0.024 BTC per day (F2pool) vs 0.016 per day (Kano.is)

I have not the details but Im coming back to F2pool.
Wow, you mined for a whole week?  Well that clearly shows your understanding of how to determine profitability and identify a proper time frame within witch to evaluate pool performance.  Roll Eyes

Did you even read this thread?

Mikey be gentle.  He may not have the testicles to stick around for the proper amount of time.

Most short run guys are lacking in balls so to speak they panic and they run to perceived safety.

Of a pool like f2pool.

They just are a bit short in the ability to stick it out.


Or he is a fake and is trolling.

I'm not trolling. I can stick to Kano a few more weeks.

Time will tell

Have fun earning less there Smiley
The expected payout is simple to calculate and lower at f2pool vs kano.is
Yep a few days of bad luck here at kano.is means that indeed if you rig your test to occur when we have bad luck, you can find that any pool pays better than the pool with bad luck.
However, long term and the expected payout is higher - but again, have fun earning less there Smiley

As a new miner, what attracted me to the bigger pools (slush antpool etc) is their intuitive and easy to read website. Getting into bitcoin, much less mining without anyone to guide you along the way is a daunting task. Naturally most go with what they see is the easiest to get setup and running, at least thats what i did. Slowly after doing more research i moved all my hashpower to kano and it has been a rewarding experience. I think that more people would be inclined to join kano right out of the gate if the site looked and felt like slush or antpool. Pretty colors, stats, FAQ's, graphs all laid out in an aesthetically pleasing manner give the impression of legitimacy to those who don't know any better (aka noobs or the ignorant). Just one noob's opinion.

Kano has improved since I started this thread.

they were 104% life time and are now 107.2 % lifetime

f2pool is 96%  after fees.

kano is 107.3% after fees  How is that possible that they have better luck after fees then before fees.  simple  they give you the transaction fees from the block.

f2pool keeps the transaction fees.


basically if you mined with kano  since 2013  you would have earned

 1073 kano


 960 f2pool

F2? U serious?
Someone really HAS to actually ask this?
This is a joke, right?
Is it April's Fool's day?
Flugtag?
Did Hillary win the election and the US population all became lobotomized (more than they already are)..

Ok enough kwan-teen - ness.

KANO.IS IMO IS the best pool out there, but if only people would stop with the big f'ing rentals from NH/SH. They don't seem to get the fact that they actually lose BTC doing it by renting HUGE amounts at one sitting. Cheesy

Every week Organofcorti publishes luck percentages for different pools on his blog: http://organofcorti.blogspot.nl/

http://organofcorti.blogspot.nl/2016/05/may-22nd-2016-mining-pool-statistics.html is the post you would want to look at. It has the week, 4 week, half a year and a full year luck percetage.

Edit: The post Philipma links to is from Organofcorti Grin



I am not attacking slush  as I said their current luck is good.  but the lifetime  is 98.5 % vs 106.3 %

I just put my hard gear on kano and don't think much about it.

When I cam back to kano in jan of 2016 the lifetime luck was 104%   now in very late mat it is 106%

  So I have had 108% luck since jan  that works for me.

about 500 blocks at 108%
