They said their shipping rates have gone down.  I also have only ever paid the 5% GST tax.  I have never been charged any Duty, even the time I went into the Customs office myself to declare the one high value shipment.  I always used DHL, never any duty, just $14.00 cnd for fee and whatever the 5% tax is.  Yet, everyone complains about UPS.. umm yeah.. Its UPS they have been doing that for decades.

Another tiny one - but this was REALLY tiny.
The block was 35 seconds after the previous network block and the txn mempool was pretty empty - the block size was only 34,103 bytes!
There were quite a few small blocks before it, but that was the smallest in the last 10 network blocks.
Well - a block is a block

i wonder why i made less with more

Mine On!!!!

I feel a couple quick blocks before ed of month!

Bitmain Warranty did not say what the problem was. The board they repaired is still running fine 3 months on.

I was a bit surprised as I thought they may just return me any old repaired board but it was actually the same board I sent out there. I recorded the board serial number before it went and the same board came back Smiley I did have to mail them quite a few times for status updates and the were a bit slow replying to mails.

It cost me £18 to ship to the US $175 for the repair, $25 for the postage US to UK and then, the real stinger, £46 import duty.

Would have made around 0.05BTC on Slushpool. But of course it could have gone the other way, Feb was/is a severely unlucky month.

Yes, we are mining to find a new block, and then add transactions to that block.

The blockchain is a giant book of transactions. Finding a block is adding a page to that book. In order to add the page, a miner performs the work Kano and others said.

Part of that work is a set of transactions we'll include in the block (on the page we add.) This list is pulled from the unconfirmed transactions that the pool gets from the network.

As a reward for adding the transaction to our new page, we get the TX fees for that transaction. Kano's pool, unlike some other big pools, pays these fees to the miners.

The odds of the next block are not impacted by the previous ones at all.

Par Avion - I don't know how many people I speak for on this pool/forum   Please leave.  You have been nothing but an idiot complaining.  I read posts quickly, and I come across general questions answers and opinions, then I read a really stupid negative one, and just for fun, because I really never look to see who posted it, on the negative ones, I see your name... ALL THE TIME

Maybe it was you that brought bad luck?  When did you join?
