Welcome to KanoPool

KanoPool is a Bitcoin mining pool that uses the PPLNS payout method.
The pool doesn't require registration for basic use but includes indepth stats for registered miners.
See below for more information on miner configuration.
You can get pool support on FreeNode IRC: irc.freenode.net channel #kano.is
or on the Bitcoin talk forum here: BitcoinTalk

Our kano.is mining servers, web site and email, are all also available at kano.space
It's a 'backup domain' in case you ever have any problems using the kano.is domain

Mining configuration: Click on the Login/Register link to register a username to mine with, 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. e.g. if your miner has a web page, you would fill it in similar to this with your username instead of Kano: Pool 1: stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333 Pool1 worker: Kano.worker Pool1 password: x 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 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 only with a Bitcoin address you can view user and worker stats: e.g. http://www.kano.is/address.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb http://www.kano.is/worker.php?a=1KanoiBupPiZfkwqB7rfLXAzPnoTshAVmb_worker Don't point CPU or GPU miners at the pool. Pool settings The pool is configured to start you mining at 4098 difficulty. The pool adjusts the per instance difficulty to maintain a share rate of approximately 18 shares per minute. However, there is a lower limit set on the difficulty of 442.
