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.
If I am understanding your post correctly, I don't think it can be done with any accuracy. A block we find might be 12.5 (with almost no transaction fees the miner earn) or a block with 2, 3 or 4 BTC in transaction fees.
So I think the wide range of block reward could not be accurately predicted.
If I'm misunderstanding your post, sorry about that.
