Re: [45+PH] KanoPool kano.is BEST 0.9% fee PPLNS US,DE,JP,NL,NYA 🐈
https://kano.is
Pool payout help and information: https://kano.is/index.php?k=payout
Best pool fees of only 0.9% in 2018
The most recent page of posts is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.1000000
Note for all access to the kano.is pool you can also use the name kano.space everywhere
For email, web, https web, mining, anywhere you see kano.is you can also use kano.space
This means there's effectively a domain name backup of kano.space in case anything ever went wrong with the kano.is domain name
***************************************************************************
Pool software supported by myself (Kano)
PPLNS Stratum BTC mining pool - N currently set as 5 x the network difficulty when the block is found.
0.9% fee paid to myself to run and work on development of the pool.
Miner payout includes transaction fees.
Web interface with management, reports, graphs, and most accurate and detailed pool stats available on any pool
Mining configuration:
Go to https://www.kano.is and register a username to mine with, by clicking on the Register/Reset link at the top right,
or mine directly to the pool without registering, using a bitcoin payment address as your username.
No password is required, so just use X for your password in your miner, since most miners need you to enter a password.
e.g.
On your miner setup page, use something like this:
If you have network issues using port 3333, you can also try:
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:80
You can also try any of:
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:81
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:443
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:8080
There are other nodes located around the world that you may be closer to:
stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333 (NewYork)
stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 (Netherlands)
stratum+tcp://de.kano.is:3333 (Germany)
stratum+tcp://jp.kano.is:3333 (Japan)
As with the main stratum node, each of those nodes allows mining to port 3333, 80, 81, 443 and 8080
If you have more than a petahash of mining hardware (not rental) I can setup a node near you, only for large miners, if servers are available, at no cost to you
Your worker name can be whatever you choose and will be created when your miner connects to the pool.
Registered username or Bitcoin address, followed by a dot '.' or an underscore '_', followed by a worker name.
If you supply an invalid Bitcoin address, you will be unable to authenticate and mine on the pool.
If you have an Asicminer Tube, you will need to mine to:
stratum+tcp://nonce.kano.is:27181
It won't work properly on any other mining port. Don't point normal miners here.
Your Tube miner stats will show up in your account without their worker name.
If you mine to a bitcoin address, you can view a simple json user or worker level stat (using your own address) at:
http://www.kano.is/address.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb
http://www.kano.is/worker.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb_worker
Pool settings
The pool is configured to start you mining at 4098 difficulty.
The pool adjusts the per instance difficulty to maintain an average share rate of approximately 3 shares per 10 seconds (18 shares per minute)
However, there is a lower limit set on the difficulty of 442.
If you mine with a username, you can login to the web interface and set a minimum difficulty for mining.
If this value is below the pool calculated value, you'll get the pool calculated value.
If you mine with a BTC address as your username, you can use the cgminer option --suggest-diff to set it for each cgminer.
You can, of course, also use --suggest-diff if you mine to a username.
Coins
The pool itself has no wallet, only bitcoind's running without a wallet.
The Coins go to a separate, unattached wallet that the payouts come from.
Transactions
The pool will mine any and all transactions that the standard bitcoind core will accept.
The relevant setting I currently use in bitcoin.conf is:
blockmaxweight=3968888 (changed to this on 12-Nov-2017)
I run a modified bitcoind that optimises the processes of verifying blocks and generating work.
These optimisations are code based, not transaction based.
I do not blacklist addresses, I do not prioritise transactions for any companies ... though I do prioritise our own transactions of course
If this should ever change, I will post the details when I do the change with the reasons why.

Avalon and kano.is are having another great miner give-away!
Over the next 5 months we will be giving away 1 Avalon A6 per month.
Be a miner here with more than 300GHs - and less than 250THs - and you could win one of the 5 Avalon A6 miners!
Each winner is the first miner to find a BLOCK!!! and meet the conditions listed below.
See the Competition Details: below the winner list
Winners: (most recent first)
The final May Winner didn't initially get an A6 due to email issues and language barriers.
Once the issues where resolved, quite some time later, he received an A7 instead
Thanks Canaan/Avalon!

Read here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg14042677#msg14042677
See the next post below for the block details for March
Only one Avalon A6 per winner.
Each month starts on the 1st day of the month at UTC 00:00 timezone.
The first month, January, starts on the 18th at UTC 00:00
If for any month, the miner isn't won, it will continue into the following months until someone wins it.
Each month adds a new miner to be won, so during some months there could be more than 1 winner if there was no winner the previous month.
Avalon will be supplying and shipping a miner to each winner.
It will be an Avalon6 x1, 4-pin-cable x2, AUC x2, without PSU - as shown in the pictures below (but silver - not black)
The Avalon A6 does 3.5THs +/- 5% at approx 1100W at the wall.
http://kano.is/Avalon6-V6.0-1024x768.jpg.300.jpg http://kano.is/Avalon6-V6.0-2-1024x768.jpg.300.jpg

Avalon is great with cgminer!
The master cgminer git is kept up-to-date by Avalon submitting their changes, and they incorporate all the master cgminer changes!
Details about the Avalon A6 can be found on the bitcoin wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon6
Your 'Workers'->'Shift Graph' must show an average of 300GHs or more - and less than 250THs - on the red average line - for the sum of all your miners.
So if you want to be a winner you better make sure you are already mining 300GHs or more on your account now.
Note, of course, I can see anyone's 'Shift Graph' including address miners.
Now, just in case we do find any orphans, the orphans will also count as winners as long as the share isn't submitted too late.
The late timelimit is of course any time before, but also up to exactly 2 seconds after the pool sees a block change, according to the pool logs.
No adjustments or arguments about the exact 2 second limit.
No miners should be submitting blocks that late, so it's not a special requirement.
You will have to supply an address that Avalon can ship it to via EMS or DHL.
It doesn't have to be your own address, but it has to be possible for them to ship to your chosen address.
If you cannot supply an address EMS or DHL will ship to, then the prize will be awarded to the next winning block finder.
If you mine to an address, you'll need to sign a message with the winning address, to identify who is the contact to claim the prize.
If you don't want to supply contact details to ship it to, then the prize will be awarded to the next winning block finder.
I can't win
One last important thing - my decision on the winners are final.
If there is any confusion or misunderstanding about how the winner is chosen, I retain the right to choose who the winner is in the event of any disagreement.

The Avalon 4.1 does 1THs at approx 600W and can be overclocked to 1.3THs at approx 1000W and underclocked to 820GHs at approx 400W
