Kano have asic boost?  Huh
Nope. Neither do you Smiley
Only Bitmain has AsicBoost in their new miner they've been running in their mines since the beginning of the year.
Sorry, I know this continues being kind of offtopic, but
what do you think about Halong Mining saying that the DragonMint T1 also has the AsicBoost in the miner?

If you believe Halong actually having a miner in the first place... Wink
Yeah, until they actually produce one and people have them mining ... who knows Smiley

Apparently the code for overt Asicboost is already live in slushpool and ckpool and prototype dragonmints have been Mining at both pools. There is a lot of interest in this new miner, and if it's going to only perform at spec on pools with overt Asicboost support then it would be worth looking into Including the code (once checked and approved) in kanopool I would have thought. Although I already suspect kano has seen the code by now and has already considered all this as it's already in Ckpool git https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool

I just went over to the thread in mining speculation ... ck says it's real and is testing on ckpool (maybe no more disappearing block rewards, eh?)

Guessing that Bitmain will also start enabling ASICboost on miners they sell ( hello S9+? )

I wonder if in reality all the chinese pools had already enabled this anyway, seeing as difficulty has more than doubled since December ... maybe Kano would be able to enable ASICboost and create an open miner that works on Avalon and Bitmain devices ?

Meanwhile... probablities suggest we ought to get the next block before the weekend Smiley

MINE ON!
