I guess since the hash rate drop from the large guy leaving, and others who want less variance, some others have left also.

I guess people prefer higher fees, fake information, and less reliable service.
None of which I've done here Tongue

The "100 Luck%" shows luck drifting around, between 93% and 107%, (on 100 blocks) so that's actually all quite as expected.
Alas, pool size decides how long the good and bad luck lasts, and even at 200PH, some miners still don't get it Tongue

I doubled my miners in October and again in November. Granted I am still tiny compared to most with only 8 S9's now, but I must admit that with the lower blocks and BTC prices since I upgraded, it has been painful to see my electric bill climb without out the return to help cover those increased costs. That said, I continue to hang here with Kano since the pool is expertly managed by a seasoned pro, everyone shares their knowledge and insights, and I left in the first place because I wanted the opportunity to see the high monthly rewards that often appear with a smaller pool.

I am confident that we will see several more amazing months arrive soon (and I predict we will see 3 blocks before the end of the year). Once the luck turns, those who continue to Mine On with Kano will surely be pleased with HUGE payouts per block due to our our lower pool hash rate. Plus when the pool hoppers come back, we will reap the short term benefits of being fully ramped up (of course the newcomers will get their reward for the effort they put in as well). Obviously these are tricky times (as they have been in the past as I understand). So everyone needs to determine their level of risk and do what makes sense.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Mine On with Kano!

You will definitely have a green streak sooner or later! Because it should even out to 100% in the end, how long will it take for that to happen, no one knows. If I only had 8 S9s I would probably too still be in this pool, just paying the electric bill from my pocket for now, knowing that I will get a return later.

How much you pay per kilowatt? If not a secret?

Normally it is .1204 in the summer in .1054 in the winter. I just finished working with power company and they agreed to "control" my miners and cut the price to .0936 in summer and .0696 in winter. My geothermal has been on that program for years, and I expect that they will probably cut my miner's power for about 8 hours or less each month of Dec / Jan / Feb and similar in July / August / Sept.

Yeah, 10-12 cents sounds about right for the U.S and of course isnt acceptable to mine with at the moment. The 7 cents that they offered you for the winter isnt bad at all! Although even at that price you will probably have to struggle with your bill. Embarrassed

I was thinking of buying some of the insilicone 47th/2100w miners, which seem to be about the only ones that can still make a profit but Ive never purchased from them before and not sure that they even have them in stock.

Have you or anyone in this pool ever bought anything from these guys?
