I don't have a farm, but I have a few and one suddenly shorted on me. Luckily, I smelled the burning odor before any sparks or flames started.
If the system is well configured this shouldn't happen. The system should simply shut down as soon as the temperature reaches values favorable to fire.
Remember, a well-done electrical installation can cost some money, but it will save you a lot of trouble in the future, much more expensive.
Yeah, I've been wondering what I should add. Right now I just have it hooked straight into the wall on a circuit by itself. What else can I add for if a short happens, it shuts off before fire starts. I'm worried that before, had I not intervened, it would have kept supplying power until the plastic caught. I have the mining on a metal shelf away from any fuel, so nothing else will catch, but I'm still worried.
Re: KanoPool 0.9% fee 🐈 since 2014 - Solo 0.5% fee - Worldwide - 2432 blocks
re: miner size and 'Luck'... As Kano said, each block is found by just 1 miner. I must add that it does NOT have to be particularly big/fast one.
2 years ago my "Lucky" r9 running 8-9THs found the third block in its lifetime by returning a diff of 151.7009T which is far beyond what is needed for any ridiculously high diff we will see in the at least near future. Hopefully many years out... Just goes to show it can easily be done with even a small miner if the miner software is working right.

How do you know if one of your miners was the one to find a block?
That's wild! How were you notified of it? Did you see smoke or did you have alarms set?

The 'may not happen' is a misunderstanding of the statistics.
The most obvious point being that every block is found by a single miner around 100TH or less.
So if we assume that every physical miner is around 100TH everywhere on every pool (but in fact most are less than that) then 'may not happen' is the same as saying that since each miner is only 100TH, none may ever find a block.
Yet every single block, found every day, is found by one of these miners somewhere on the planet.
The issue with a small pool is the fact that the expected time between blocks can be large.
However, to change another misunderstanding in your comment, the expected time to the next block is always 100% from now.
(there is no 'overdue')
When we will get the next block is completely random, but ... read Help->Luck

That is an interesting point you make, every block is found by one miner. Even the top of the line 110+TH/s miners are still a drop in the bucket. I guess it's not far off from my thinking on lotteries. Buying 1 vs 10 tickets doesn't really increase your chances all that much in the grand scheme. Quick question tho, I thought I remember seeing that BrainsOS does not work in your pool? I guess it is a proprietary software, so slush would want it to keep miners in theirs. I do have 2 A841's I could point to yours still if those s9's wouldn't work for the pool

mmpool just mined a block, and that's a pretty small pool. I think it had been about 3 years for them.
3 years...1 block...sitting 5-6x the hash rate of kanopool (currently). Gotta admire that dedication.he share levels every once in a while in the discord channel, best so far this month is a 3.9T share.
Less than 5 times higher than that equals a block.
We've also had 5 over 1T so far this month, it's just random, we'll get the next one soon enough.
How do shares play into likelihood of getting a block? Why are you hoping for (I assume) ~15T share? Does the top left of the site show 60T share right now?Less than 5 times higher than that equals a block.

Hi, I was doing some of my own math, probably not that good, but it makes sense to me, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Kanopool is currently hashing ~5PH/s
Slushpool (what I mainly mine out of) is hashing at ~6800PH/s
Worldwide is currently hashing ~150000PH/s
Blocks mined a day ~150 blocks
I think it's accurate to say that depending on your pools size is the likelihood to finding a block.
So if there are 150 blocks a day mined and if your pool is mining 1EH/s, chances are you'll get 1 block a day compared to the total hash rate. Seems right to me because Slush averages about 6-7 blocks/day. So, applying this to Kanopool, 150 blocks/day * ~1/30000 of the mining share = 1 block/200 days. Is this about right? The odds of hitting a block depending how lucky/unlucky you are?
The last block Kanopool mined was 436 days ago, so chances are that the pool is well overdue. Which to me sounds like I should divert the few miners I have at Kanopool (about 50TH/s, just what I can do on my own). However, 1/30000 is just such a small chance that it may just be likely that getting that lucky may not happen.
I guess what I'm asking is, is my math accurate and can you add something that I may/may not know to add my miners in, albeit small? I want to help, but I can't deny the slow and steady of Slushpool.
