Yes, NYA dead here too....

I thought maybe it was internal so I went ahead and cycled my system real quick and I'm back up on statum. Not connecting to nya.

And it appears like I'm back on nya again.

Sorry to hear it. Electricity is killing me too, need that price to go back up. Normally I would thank you for lowering the difficulty for the rest of us, but your buyer will take over.

My summer pricing just started. I don't like it but it should be ok for the time being.

I'm happy my mining box is working well. The heat is being removed and the sound is unnoticeable upstairs. Outside it sounds like a dryer exhaust.

It is nice having the three machines purring along and not having to worry about anything at the moment.

Though, I've already thought about improvements for the box when I pick up my next three miners.  Smiley

OK. 841s drain less watts, 100W less but here in EU one 841 its 1.734 EUR with power supply and controller and S9 is 974 USD or 830 EUR. 841 is 900 EUR more that S9. So you can buy 2 S9 for one 841 in EU.
https://www.cryptouniverse.at/shop/avalonminer-841-13th-s-including-psu-and-controller/
What is better 13,5 TH/s draining 1200W or for same money 28 TH/s 2600W. I don't know its for 100W worth it!?? Please give me better argument!! Undecided
Thank you.

I started off with an S9 first out of ignorance and have since added 2 x S9i because of pricing, my priority to build up my THs quickly. I'll have to give my expansion a break while I save up a little bit but at least I now have three machines running.

Next, I'll be looking at adding the 841s if I can. So maybe works best now is what can work, not what might be preferable in the end.

And that all depends on what is released between now and when I'm able to expand again.

Yeah I've seen that too, the ckpool Android app gives 2400 for midnight instead of 0000.  Weird, but nothing to see here I'd guess!

Mine On!  Cool

-EDIT- and you'll get false block alerts, too, after pool restarts...  Tongue

I am aware of the false block found symptom after a pool restart. I also can see where 2400 would be valid for midnight depending on how you define things.
What I was a bit concerned about was that the Last Block: found time is 2018-05-21 24:08:25.

That has a time stamp of over 24 hours and is not a valid time in any system I know of on planet earth.

From John Ringo's "Troy Rising" series book one.
“It is said that in science the greatest changes come about when some researcher says "Hmmm. That's odd."

I used to be a Novell Administrator long ago and in a different life. The later versions of Novell used something call eDirectory which was a database that
kept track of all the objects in the Novell network. Part of having a consistent database is a very precise tracking of time. The Novell database could be distributed across many servers and many geographic regions. Because of this the database had to know the precise time of any event so it could properly update the database with the most current changes.

A time stamp of over 24 hours would not have been allowed in Novell. I was just wondering if Kano might need clues to find out why his program seg-faulted.
It is my job as a concerned member of Kano pool to bring up little things that would not seem to make a difference when bad things are happening with no apparent cause.

Now if the android app is treating 24 = 0, then 24:08:25 could be a valid time stamp. I just never noticed it doing that before which is why I brought it up after kano pool had its issue.

The app shows 11:08 for me. So maybe there's something off in how it's add/subtracting your timezone from the original time zone.

With two more miners being delivered tomorrow so I thought I'd go ahead and make a box to help control both the heat and the sound.

I have a lid already made with hinges and a locking latch. Still yet to finish are the grates inside and holes to be drilled for power and network. I also will be putting together duct work to exhaust the heat outside. I have two inline duct fans being delivered tomorrow to push/pull air through the box.


Hope those inline duct fans are rated around 300cfm...  it would be best to match them to the combined flow rate of the miner fans.

Roger that. Local stores had max 80 cfm.

It's understandable.  There are a$$holes all over the internet that are more than willing to take another's generosity for granted! Thanks everyone for the help, encouragement and coupons.  I'm really not much of a forum poster because I'd rather sift/search through the thread than ask direct questions (I learn more that way!) and I'm not yet very knowledgeable to be helpful.  But I'll definitely let you know when these new miners start ramping up! No more coupons needed, my order has been placed!
Kudos and yer 1st Merit for knowing how to Learn with a capital 'L'. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/hello/salute-smiley-emoticon.gif
Too many folks come here and ask things that have been previously answered, often in great detail, countless times already. Even a decently worded Google search usually will pin-point the relevant posts here.

Personally, when giving help I use the 'Teach a person to fish vs giving them a fish' approach. As you said, learning the 'how and why' is far more helpful than just a 'do this'.

To play devils advocate. The fact that so many questions are answered numerous times is proof of the exceptional community surrounding Kano Pool and the willingness of members to help others.

This is what is touted as one of the greatest positives of this pool. The community and that Kano himself will take time to explain how the pool works.

You're either helpful or you're a bunch of d1cks that say "Google it." Personally, I like the helpful non-pompous approach. Kind of refreshing for a newb.

Edit: and to add, hopefully some of us newer members, as we learn, can step in and help others that our just joining as well. The circle of life completes itself.

How does this deal sound for electricity?  89.99 per month unlimited plus 4 cent per Kwh.


Bonus: It's all Wind power

How many Kwh do you use and is it for all your machines or per machine?

Thank you, Biffa.  I didn't realize we were paid only for finding blocks.  I thought finding a block was like an added bonus of some sort, not the only way we get paid. 

My understanding is completely incorrect now and I will have to reread how this all works.  I was thinking the average of the difficulty was supposed to help even out our payouts but I don't see it actually working out in this manner.  Especially, when there is no payout for 5 days and nothing to come of it after all of that time.  That's a lot of cost and time for nothing. This is not a complaint, but a realization that there is more risk to mining in this manner than I was thinking originally.  I was anticipating a payout on almost a daily basis, but it's far from that after seeing recent payouts over the past couple of weeks.  Basically, there are times where we could essentially get paid nothing for offering our service.

What happens when all of the BTC blocks are found?  Are these ASICs basically rendered useless?  I understand that the ASICs are meant for SHA-256, so maybe Bitcoin Cash or another SHA-256 crypto is what we would be forced to switch to?  Is this what would have to happen?

Thank you.

By the time all the blocks have been found we'll likely be dead and there will likely be a new form of currency.

So...I just cut a hole through the door and installed a bathroom exhaust fan in said door.

Also, thanks for the block Bluelagoon!

Mine on!

Hey guys,

I have two $100 Bitmain coupons available for donation to Kano Pool miners, just hit me with a PM.

That's the spirit, if you have any takers they can ping me for my 6 $100 tokens too. 

Am i right in thinking that the new s9i don't allow coupon use ?

I just ordered a couple with coupons. Worked fine. Awaiting shipment now.

Oh, wow, the S9i prices have come down. I'll need to pick up another one tomorrow.

If anyone has and is willing to share a couple of coupons I'd be able to increase that to two.

Anyone else having problems with nya or just me?

I went offline to avoid lightning but I'm connected again and nya is working fine on my end. Obviously, not sure what occurred while I was down.

ok, now monday 2 or 3 blocks and April is saved...


March and April have been great months even if we don't hit another block until May.  Trust me, I'm root for another one in less than 5 hours to make it a 4 block day.  haha

Yeah, I started April 6 and I'm pretty ahead of my electrical costs. No complaints here.

If you have 2PH or more you can win between 0.6 BTC up to 3 BTC from my pocket, for finding blocks - see the first post.
There's still 7 BTC left.


I think you're doing it backwards. A BTC reward to a small miner would get them closer to putting a PH into the pool  Wink
