Dear friend
Forgive me for asking stupid questions, im looking for advice..
Since im from non english native language, ive been having language barrier to learn in detail about bitcoin..
My hashing power is not much (100pcs of s5, 13s3+, 8s7 in mix batch ),
but all pointing to antpool, because..
Antpool is easy to understand, and easy setting for newbie
Also easy to spot inactive worker (i dont understand but ocassionally the miners have to be reset)
antpool do have easy to see per-worker related attendance,
1. do CKPOOL can see per-worker online and offline status?
(To see the offline.. This is most important to spot which miner in error)
2. Can anyone teach me how to setting miner configuration? As easy as changing stratum address?
3. Are there any other setting should i follow? Such PPS or PPLNS also why there is "-u" on stratum address?
Which one should i use?? (Hope there is DUMMY GUIDEfor me)
4. So CKPOOL is the same or different from KANO.IS? Which one is CKPOOL?
5. So we at CK/Kano is more profitable than antpool and f2pool?
So sorry for more stupid questions
6. Are you guys in profit?
Because somehow im feeling loss.. do we suppose to sell the coins for monthly cost or we should hoard until grandson born (not even have a kid yet..) haha..
The network difficulties is CRAZY, its difficult for me to cover the miner and PSU cost, not to mention monthly cost..
wondering where did i do wrong, or if f2pool and antpool kill me slowly
1. Yes, you can if you go to here:
https://kano.is/index.php?k=workers. I think if you use ZACHM's monitor site you can see more. I don't use it since I have just 1 worker so maybe check here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1331875.02, 3. Changing miner config is easy. Just change the stratum address to stratum.kano.is:3333 and put the username as: yourusename.workername. So for example san2salim.S71, san2salim.S72, etc... for password you can just put 'x' You can mine to a bitcoin address, but if you want worker information you need to have a username.
4. kani.is uses ckpool
5. If you look historically, yes it is much more profitable. BUT no one can tell the future. One thing that is for sure is that kano and ck are a good thing for bitcoin, and bitmain/f2pool/etc... are not. There are a bunch of posts about why (even just a few pages back).
6. Yes I am very much in profit, and honestly I wouldn't be at any other pool. The big thing to notice is that we use the 5nd system. Again this is talked about a lot and maybe someone can link the posts if they have time.
