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!
Well why not do 50-50 for 30 days.
½ at kano.is with antpool as back up
½ at antpool with kano.is as back up
compare each 30 day shot.
long term kano.is has had better results but running 150 machines cost money for manpower and electric power.
a 10 day cold streak is more likely to happen here
but antpool has had cold streaks.
so a 50-50 mix of the two is more likely to smooth variance better and you can at least say you are doing 50% morally correct. I define morally correct as trying to go long term with the game not kill the goose for the golden eggs.
after 3x 30 day comparison test you can reevaluate . your deployment.
I am smaller then your setup will be even if I fill the solar array with buysolar
we are going to do 13 to 16 kwatts which is 60th max with current generation.
I switched my miners to have two on kano and 2 on ant mine. i'll leave them go for 30 days and see what the results are. I can see the payout here getting better as I stay on, but the found blocks aren't steady. So we'll see what happens. it's looking to me right now that my 4 machines are maching about 0.05btc per day and on antmine I was getting 0.1 per day.
I'm using pplns payout on antmine as well.
