Sorry to hear about the wallet hack. btw not sure if kano can (without manual intervention) redirect payments to another btc address other than what it was set to at the time the block was found. But if you have updated the payout address all future block payments will go to the new address.

Don't worry about the website I'm sure kano has alarm bells ringing for certain issues, and the main thing is that we are still mining.

EDIT: and if your not mining then you should have at least one of the other kano servers as your backup (as well as other contingencies)

Is there any current pool issues? looks like my workers have been offline since 1st June around 00:00. I'll have to give them a cold reboot when I get to site in the morning if there's no issues and its just me.

I think nhando was giving a for instance and wasn't meaning that he comes and goes and throws 5PH here (I might be wrong though). I'm sure I saw a post where he says he occasionally does some rentals and the 5TH was for another user in kind

Their IP(s) could be banned, however Kano has done the best thing and is withholding payment (pending blocks) which means little/no downside for the pool. They either start finding blocks and get paid, or now waste their time and electric by worthless mining. Either of which is ok with me, although I would prefer them to find blocks.
As for why they do it is because, they (did) get rewarded for providing work (that is like all of us mining here), however withholding found blocks doesn't hurt them as they got paid for their work regardless (albeit with less block rewards) and only served to hurt the pool overall.

Again kano has done the sensible and best approach for the pool, with a bit of extra work for him regarding payments. If they change their ways and bring in the blocks then great, if not then kano can let them waste their hash or perm ban them.

This block could be the next highest cdf..... come on block  

Please go back to bed for a couple of hours  

EDIT: and go back to bed also sorry2xs & bctmke lol

I tip my hat to you Sir  

They were sent out between 8-13hours ago (depending on the block).

EDIT: and they are all confirmed

And another Thank you xgeniy with ~7TH, it's also their second block. So far a good start to the day 

And another nice block for team kano

EDIT: prelude with ~65TH, their second block for us.

Start the party without us... go on, you know you want to 

The contest has started but we wont know who wins which prize until the first block is mined on the network in April (UTC time). However this block could be in the running for the prize that's assigned the highest CDF (assuming a valid contest miners gets this block).

This one could be classed as a marathon. Will be interesting to see how the race progresses over the month.

Ignore this, blockchain ALWAYS say this and means absolutely nothing. Once the payment is confirmed in a block this goes away.

EDIT: By always I mean to those payments that are over the 250 limit they decided to make up.

There's still a lot of unconfirmed transactions on the network so hopefully yours will be included in a block soon. You'll just have to be patient and hope empty blocks are not being mined (unlikely though from certain other pools).

I've not validated any actual hashing but using NH pool verification shows its all ok (tested using stratum80.kano.is)

I agree with you d57heinz about the key points of antpool being bad for many reaons and miners should support smaller pools like kano or bitminter or jonnys pool etc... . one thing to note though is that the restarts kano has been doing recently (with plenty of advanced notice) haven't affected mining and has only affected the website stats (for that short period of the restart) Other things mostly outside of kano's control have been the causes of the occasional miner disconnects. I also believe he still has room to grow.

But yes, people reading these posts please do seriously consider choosing a smaller pool that serves the interest of its miners and the Bitcoin network.

There is no good/acceptable reason at all. Not including Bitcoin transactions goes directly against what Bitcoin is about. I am glad you see that you cannot mine here in good conscience and I hope other miners follow suit or Antpool change their ways (either is acceptable to me  ).

Some people claim its because of the great firewall but truth is its all about maximizing their profits and getting as many blocks as quickly possible. Not including transactions is seen as being a quicker way to relay found blocks but other pools like kano and ck process full blocks quicker than antpool do empty blocks. The other thing with antpool (and others) is the SPV mining too. I hope pool miners on antpool experience delays in paying/receiving BTC so they can see the effect mining empty blocks has. Funnily enough Antpool doesn't even include their own transactions in their blocks
