Hey Guys, i'm kinda new to the game here. I've been playing around with 4 s7's for a couple weeks now. I own an IT company with our own data center so we are kind of running an experiment with these 4 to learn more about pools with multiple machines, how to manage multiple machines etc.
I've read about why to use kano vs antmine and I fully support that. but as we build a business plan to invest in hardware etc to go big ~150 machines. The problem i've had so far, and keep in mind this is over the last 2-3 weeks.... I get better results with antmine.
With my 4 boxes I can do a steady and predictable 0.1btc with my 4 miners. On here the last few days i'm lucky if i'm getting 0.05.
Am I missing something?
Another question I have is with a machine that finds a block. Does that user get a larger reward or what happens?
I'm aware of the halving, we're working to build experience and knowledge so we can make a very good educated decision on how to move forward after the halving and the potential new hardware.
Kano, we're in canada also and own two smaller data centers, we should chat about a canadian node?
Thanks in advance!
I was mining at Anthole for over a year and then switched to Kano to compare earnings. You need to run these earnings comparisons over an extended time like Phil mentioned. At the end of the day, investing in bitcoin long term and mining at Antpool are two polar opposite schools of thought. IMO Bitcoins survival depends on a strong, ethical community and with so many companies in the space making decisions based on profit and not community...we are no better off than we were with central bank fiat paper money. Mine on a small pool and as Kano said, we need to stop buying Bitmain gear. Vote with our dollars and force these bad actors to conform to what is right or we make them irrelevant.
I wish I did more research before buying my S7 - I didn't realize what a greedy company they were, mining empty blocks and all. Now I wish I had an Avalon 6 instead. Well, it least I won't mine there.
