Sometimes, PDU's come into play.  For instance, my 30 amp PDU's have two 15 amp legs.  15 amps x 220 volts = 3,300 watts.  6,600 watts maximum with both 15 amp legs combined.

I'm presently using IBM 2880 PSU's to power 2 x S7's on each PSU.  1220 watts x 2 = 2440 watts.  I might use 2 x IBM 2880's and 1 x Corsair AX 860 on one 30 amp PDU to power 5 x S7's instead of using only 1 x IBM 2880 alone on each 15 amp leg of the 30 amp PDU.  However, more than likely, I will end up powering only 4 x S7's with 2 x IBM 2880's for each 30 amp PDU to remain well within the 75% allowed for each circuit.

I may probably go with this new setup J4bberwock has come up with once all of my IBM's are in use [22 x total IBM 2880's].  I would have the option to power 5 x S7's comfortably on one 30 amp PDU with 2 of these new setups of J4bberwock's [One for each 15 amp leg on the 30 amp switched PDU's].

When someone gets a batch 8, it would be much appreciated to hear one's opinion of the rig.

Thanks in advance.

Got it... Thanks.

After about 10 to 12 attempts, I finally remembered my pool password.  It's long as hell.

Yes, I'll remember my secret key with no problem.

Understood with blurring my username.  Guess we'll see how good the 2FA works then.

If you both would delete the image, it would be appreciated and save forum space as well.

Thanks!

Now, I just hope I can remember that damn password.  I've had it set up on "save password" for the longest.  Which means I never bothered to remember it.  Maybe I can figure it out.

Uh oh,

I think I just mucked up!

It said I was set up.  I may just be ignorant of how to log in to it.

I thought I set up 2FA with OTP Auth.  I got an email from kano.is saying it was set up.  However, When I try to log in at kano.is, it only refreshes the page and does not let me log in.  Can someone assist me?  I might end up having to create a new account and start over on 500N.

EDIT:  Just a moment.

That is correct [400 added to existing 200 = 600 amps].  May end up having to get current transformer to measure power usage.  Which will be extra costs.  I will find that out when an engineer from the power company calls me to set up an appointment and arrives at the house to see what I'm wanting.

EDIT:  Just got off the phone with an engineer.  They talk like someone will be out here between now and Monday (December 14) to have a look to see what will need to be done to get the power I need to the house.

EDIT #2:  I will probably have to disconnect and hide my rigs for a while when the work begins to keep the electrical inspectors eyes off of my S7's because they are not UL listed, unfortunately.  Then bring them out of hiding to hook them back up once the inspections are over with.

I can see your concern there.  However, if one wants to see the stats, etc... on the pool on their browser, they need an account [If I'm not mistaken].  If that's not important to you, then don't worry with registering.  If you change your mind later on and decide to register, I believe you will have to start over again with your 500N time on the new account created.  I may be wrong about this but I believe it's correct.

I'm only allowed one meter at my house.  I'm getting electricians to add two more 200 amp Main Service Panels, a quick disconnect for both of the new 200 amp main service panels that can be shut off manually and by the smoke/fire alarm system.  The entire upgrade will cost me close to $5,000 with a new meter, distribution panel, two main service panels, quick disconnects, wire, labor, etc...

Sure, however, I don't have it yet.  I've called the power company several times over the past 5 weeks.  They finally have a work order generated and sent it to the engineering department.  Now I'm waiting for someone from engineering to call me to set up an appointment to come out and see what I want to accomplish.

Sorry I missed helping out on Kano/CKPool forum.  It looks like someone else was able to assist you though.

EDIT:  It's very important to "register" (create account) with kano.is when you first start instead of using only a bitcoin address.  This way you get to take advantage of all services offered by the pool and you will not have to start over with your 500 N time when switching from mining to bitcoin address to a registered account.

Sorry, I can't do that.  I have plans to use every bit of it soon.

Sounds great!  Hope it goes smoothly for you with the upgrade.

I'm actually waiting for the power company to call me this week to add another 400 amps to my house.  I've found out now they will foot the bill for installing a larger underground feeder cable and larger transformer [Providing I use the power I'm asking for].  If I don't use the power I'm asking for [But I will] they will back charge me for the materials and labor costs invested in the upgrade.  I hope to have the upgrade completed before Christmas time.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Yes, I believe [Over time] payouts are better as long as luck [Over time] remains average.  Luck can be slightly below average and have similar payouts to other pools.  The advantage of a smaller pool [That's not too small] is when the pool hits a hot streak.  Extra blocks found are a BIG bonus.  Of course the extra blocks found may have been required to maintain average (100%) luck for lack of finding blocks in the future.  However, if blocks continue to be found in the future according to average, the extra blocks found were truly a BIG bonus.

CKolivas and Kano are two of the best developers in the business.  They are the developers of cgminer used in your S7's.  They KNOW what they are doing when it comes to mining for sure!  I honestly do not believe there is a better crew in the business than CKolivas and Kano.  They are always there to respond to questions in the pool forum; unlike other pools I've mined at.  It's rare to have developers frequent the pool forum to answer questions by those who've joined the pool.  The pool forum is a great knowledge base for those new to mining.  I'm still new.  The more I learn, the more I find I need to learn and how "new" I still am.

I just don't believe one could go wrong by choosing to support CK/Kano Pool.  It's a win/win/win in my honest opinion.  [It's a win for miners / a win for CK/Kano Pool / a win for bitcoin!]

Great!!!

The more the merrier!

Feel free to drop by the pool forum if you haven't already:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.5660

Well said, gents!

S7's [And most any other rigs for that matter] will have more stable hash rates at Kano.is than any other pool.  I let the pool determine the diff for my rigs rather than manually setting the diff.  You have that choice as a miner; which is great.

We found two more blocks [When the present hash rate requires only 1 block per day to maintain average or very close to 100% daily].  Which see:

I'll take down the screenshot in a few:

You can expect a little bit more per day than other pools as long as kano.is continues to find an average of 1 block each day at present hash rate.  According to wisdom, the present hash rate of kano.is (4,717 TH/s) should mine 28.08 BTC per day.  That's a little over 1 block each day.  If kano.is can maintain that one block per day average, you should see nicer payouts than what you would normally receive on other PPLNS pools.  If kano.is maintains 1 block average per day and adds another block on top of that one block or even two blocks over that one block average during one particular day, you will absolutely LOVE the payout for that one day.

As the hash rate increases on kano.is, the number of hours it takes to reach 500N should get less and the number of blocks should increase of course.  The advantage during times of good luck on a small pool like kano.is is at present is the day 2 or more blocks are found after maintaining the average blocks found for overall pool hash rate.

The dates you see a significant number of days between blocks are days in which the pool had well under 2,500 GH/s most of the time.  At that hash rate, it would be normal for the pool to find one block every 1.5 days.  The payout would still be a little better than other pools each day on average as long as the pool found at least one block every 1.5 days at that 2,500 GH/s hash rate.  The days in which kano.is finds more than the average estimated blocks [While maintaining average blocks found] are the days you find it worth staying there.

EDIT:  Yes, you will continue to receive payouts after you left kano.is IF you decided to leave. If kano.is was to maintain 4,700 GH/s at present while you were gone, you would continue to receive diminishing payouts over the next 5 days as blocks are found.

Agreed.

J4bberwocks HW is the shiznit!

eleuthria [The creator of BTC Guild] will tell you about the times Slush pool had moved their stratum port to BTC Guild when they were online.  I wouldn't be surprised.

Agreed...

That's why I left.  It's just too damn suspicious for me as well.

Okay,

Thanks for the reply, Sir.

EDIT:  After reading the link, I must agree...  It's overkill.
