Lonely feeling
Deep inside
Find some bitcoins
That I can hide
Silent server
eluded me
Sudden darkness
That I can't see

No coins today for my coffee
No coins today for my tea
No coins were send to my wallet
How can that be Huh

Not quite Shakespeare, but i could make some guitar melody to it, now we need the soloist to sing it loud))) Or better not, it's too sad.

Maybe you send another poem that starts with "Oh blocks, where are you?" while we eagerly wait for the long awaited block.

Oh blockies, where are you,
I cant even sleep
when i see confirmations,
I'm dancing half-stripped,

When blocks come together
At 2 percent Diff,
I'm happy, it's awesome
And what a relief!

I was at Slush previously until, I stumbled into kano ckpool late last year.

Then I suddenly saw the light.... I was attracted to the nice charts, fancy webpages but what I really wanted was the pure simplicity no nonsense pool with the highest payment system - I found that in this pool.

Yeah, agree with every single word... I was hopping among different pools, giving each of them a week to see if i stay. So i stayed here.

After learning about 5ND and experiencing it in action, I never turned back.

The 5ND method is one of the best systems for steady mining i guess, as far as im not in a way an expert, but i proved for myself that it worked better for my s7's that were working simultaneously at 4 different pools for a week or so.

Plus the kano forum thread is never a dull moment - met many friends here and got useful advice and business contacts too.
.....
I do want to add one thing though.... that pool members exercise more courtesy, respect, take note of time-zones and.... simply being nice.... I have seen the dark-side of other threads where everything there has gone haywire, very rude and not professional at all.

Again you're right. As you can see, i'm a newbie on the forum, but i have been reading some threads for years here without being registered and saw occasional rudeness, scams etc., but here the majority seems to be more... let's say more human.

Out of the 1179 users in the pool, a significant number I believe spread across 5 nodes outside of USA, are non-US and perhaps even non-English speaking countries, so at times when posting in this thread, please do take note of country, culture etc. ie. not everyone know who is Zinedine Zidane? or "Is Singapore part of China?" Grin

I can speak Russian and English, and not so well German and Polish. And i can tell that what i have read in russian-speaking bitcoin mining communities (keep in mind that they include up to 15 countries where ppl understand Russian) made me turn to this pool as well. So yes, the pool is also talked about in non-English speaking countries.

Finally cloudy here in the arctic circle. The ever-present sun has yielded, and my machine is finally running somewhat silently.

Lucky you... It's getting really hot here where i live. Had to downclock the ants to avoid overheat ((

What I've noticed on this thread lately (reading through the last few days that I essentially missed) is that the pool's popularity, and perhaps a spot price around the Kuiper Belt, seems to have attracted new miners (a good thing) who can perhaps benefit from some Zen-based support (only half-kidding). We've all been there at some time or another.

Reading through last 2-3 pages i also noticed there were many newbies not just spamming around but obviously getting aboard (including me, he-he).
