Kano, I am coding up various general information about Kano.is right now - plus based on the previous discussion on fees, I just started tracking bytes that need to be confirmed so that we can text / email people when fees are lower to consolidate smaller blocks.

I am hoping to tell what the pool average we would be paid by at this exact moment. Is there a way to calculate that with the information you show on the home page? I know you have the instant hash rate, but I would like to have the PPLNS stored in 5 minute increments as well as the real time hash rate. I suppose I could always estimate it by looking at all the previous 5 minute hashes for the 5Nd that you report on https://kano.is/index.php?k=payout, but that will probably lose a fair bit of accuracy in the translation.

It would also be nice to be able to get the actual payouts from the api. I plan to give the ability to text/email for every block and/or after they make a profit beyond their power and expenses. As it currently stands, I will have to be asking for username, password and 2fa to be able to deliver those details from the Kano site, but most people will not want that information out. Most of the other pools do share payout info via the api.

In any case, please share your thoughts on how I can compute the payout hash rates. Thanks so much and I hope you are doing well.

You can't compute them in advance.

You will find no predictions about future rewards on the web site for a reason, it's random and I'm not interested in providing guesses about what people might get in the future.

The payout generation code takes 2-5 seconds to determine the 5Nd and calculate the rewards.
It also has to wait until after a certain set of events to ensure the value is correct - usually about 15 minutes.

There is simply an 'expected' reward if luck is 100%, actual rewards on the rewards page, and pool average pps%s on the blocks page for various ranges.

If you are requesting people to give you access to their login password so you can guess what they will be paid in the future, you come off as a scam.
I certainly will not be removing the warning on the web site about that and would block any site doing logins to multiple accounts.
Mining is a lot of money, and anyone asking people for access to their money sounds like a phishing scam.

My goal is to have the miner enter their power and any pro rated costs so there is a cost per second to operate the miner. Then the miner van select that they want a report issued via text or email once per day, week or whenever a block is found. I would list their earnings, costs based on the time it took to find the block and overall profit for the block. I eventually want to have an analysis of how their past performance in other pools "Would have been". Obviously the past is the past, so maybe not worth it. When I was in slush, my custom monitoring system would text me whenever a block was found where I profited more that day 50%. That is a piece of what I hope to offer to all miners for free forever. And if they see value, maybe a donation or two will come in.

Yes, I probably won't go down the road of usernames because my site would be subject to attack. So if the API won't offer past payments fur the miner, then that info won't be offered. But I still will be able to offer alerts for miner problems which is also valuable. So could I use my hash rate and kano payment to compute other miners payments based on the hash rate ratios that their miners generated?

Sorry this is so confusing.
