This was so helpful, thanks a lot - really appreciate it!

Quick question: how is the "5N" calculation worked out? and can you give me an example?
For instance, my N-Avergae is 4.14TH/s -- what does this mean? is this standard for an s9 miner?
I think your N-Average is still growing as you haven't reached 5N yet. Eventually your N-Average will reach your mining speed, which I think is around 14TH/s for an S9? I think it depends on which batch you have.
