Re: [25 PH] ** 5x AVALON6 GIVEAWAY ** Kano CKPool (kano.is) [0.9% PPLNS] US,DE,SG,JP
Woohoo, my new S7 is plugged in too Kano and hashing away...I know Im a big player now with an S5 AND an S7 
Question:
Does an S7 normally run a little (~8C) hotter than an S5?
Crash
s5 is a 600 watt heaterQuestion:

Crash
s7 is a 1200 watt heater
Quick question:
Is it normal for an S7 to run hotter (~8C) than an S5, given the same operating environment?

Is it normal for an S7 to run hotter (~8C) than an S5, given the same operating environment?
Crash
Yes, I would call this normal. The S5 uses ~600 watts, the S7 uses ~1200-1400watts.
Thats twice the heat output from a same size miner. The S7 is then going to be hotter, given the same input/ambient temperature

Hmm.. Should we be worried about this? I'm pretty sold on the S7 and i think it's the phone i'm going to get. I know this sounds funny, but since it's waterproof, can we just wet it to get the temperature down.

Do you prefer to mine in a pool or on your own?
prefer a pool (kano.is of course) but I have solo as a 2nd preference for when kano is not availableWhat s/w do people use to monitor their miners?
Rather than going to each miner individually to check performance, temp, freq etc, is there s/w that looks at all miners on the network and reports the results in an easy, good UI, format?

Re: The Evolution of Mining *from princeton bitcoin textbook*
Great to see such a pre-eminent organisation releasing papers, and in draft, for free.
Not having yet read the paper, but commenting purely on the picture:
The similarity isn't accurate: An individual of moderate means can still afford to contribute meaningfully at the ASIC level for BITmining, unlike gold mining.
Basic infrastructure for an ASIC can cost about $1k with a moderate-low ROI, but still some ROI, unlike Gold mining at the pit mining level. Even 1 truck, or digger is so unfathomably beyond reach of the average joe it is just ridiculous.
The scales just do not compare.

Couple of node questions guys:
1) I'm in south eastern Australia: which node should I be pointing to?
2) Why? as in does it matter?
The nodes increase the propagation speed of the blocks found by the pool.1) I'm in south eastern Australia: which node should I be pointing to?
2) Why? as in does it matter?
They also will attempt to submit a block, if you find one and are mining to a node, before the main pool node will submit it.
If your ping time to the node and to the main pool are similar, then mining to the main pool will be best.
If they are quite different, 100-200ms (or more) different, then mining to the node is appropriate.
main ~200ms
jp ~ 330ms &
sg ~ 130ms
So I should point to singapore?

I'd point it to Kano house, he's the closest to you and you would get sub 10ms latency. 1) I'm in south eastern Australia: which node should I be pointing to?

Ping each node and see whats best, but I think the main kano.is will give you the best response.
And forgive the ignorance, but how do I ping the nodes?

hi guys, wondering how to setup a cpu and such for mining bitcoins, thanks.
Set them up as a per any gaming rig to play your favourite PC game while your ASIC miners crack on and get you some mBTCCrash
Re: [18 PH] ** 5x AVALON6 GIVEAWAY ** Kano CKPool (kano.is) [0.9% PPLNS] US,DE,SG,JP
Which value is better "Worker Management\Minimum Diff" for S7?
The pool will automatically set it optimally for you. Don't worry about it, as I understand it manually tweaking it doesn't do much good in the long run anyway. Trust the code -ck and kano-san are running, best out there!Crash

Nice Gestures guys, but 10,000 Satoshi is only 4 pennies and that requires 20 people to opt in. You will need 256,000 satoshi for $1. That will require 512 people to opt in. There's currently only 706 users on Kano pool so even if everyone opt in, that's not much more than a $1.

hmm, I didn't calculate.. you are right.. Well, then I will donate 0,005BTC which is ± $2. I hope others will donate too, we owe it to Kano and -CK for all their hard work.

I'm in for .01 each as suggested. To Kano, CK and 500th block maker! Thats .03 and I have certainly done better then PPS here as everyone has.

Kano.is found 498 blocks now. How are we gonna celebrate block 500 ??
I will send 500 satoshi to the finder of Kano CK Pool Block #500, KANO and -CK if every miner on this pool does this they will get a nice bonus. I guess everybody can afford 1500 satoshi to spend.

What is your miner device?

What operating system you running?

Do you have to register for the competition, or just be mining and be eligible?
