I have a problem. cannot setup btc wallet adress in my profile on kano.is. I have err message "Unavailable BTC adress"
my wallet is  1P1z8S1CSYCMAueYpCbyZN1h1pqReGAgLk. Could you help me , please??


did you use that address to mine under before?

 Kano has it set up so an address can only be used once. Try creating another one to tie to your account.

good start to the day to make up for easter.
...
What did you do wrong at easter?

1) we didnt 8 blocks.

2) saw batman vs superman.
    i want those 2 hrs of my life back, would have rather seen Deadpool for the third time.

good start to the day to make up for easter.


..

thats one thing i wish i had either taught myself or taken a class for was hope to code apps. I focused on the database side of things. wish i had branched out a little more.

The iphone app for kano pool seems to have more functionality then the android one. i still use the android one but i wish it did more. its nice to see those block find notifications though...lol can make a crappy day better.

Block by 12TMh!  That is his 13th kano block!
... and meanwhile while there's so many posts here supporting Bitmain and buying their hardware ...

Anyone notice that this was a 26s network block?
The previous network block was an EMPTY Bitmain block.
26s later we get this block with ... >1% txn fees, 988k block ...


Its not so much that we want to buy their hardware. its more that when it comes down to ROI we are strong armed into it. Id love to sell all my antminers and go pure Avalon but the difference in $ and hash is its downfall.

So many people's decisions on hardware purchase are based only on price, they don't take anything else into account.  Which is a shame, because if they did then no one would be buying Bitmain hardware and supporting their empty blocks.

Forget the S7, they're being marked down for a reason.  Buy an Avalon 6 and you won't regret it!

Unfortunately this game is all about ROI and bitmain knows that buy selling cheaper we are "forced" to buy from them.

Wait.. You have close enough neighbors to ask what the noise in your garage is, need to find a contractor or insurance person to fix a water leak, and yet are looking to buy 1. possibly 2 12PH Mining containers....... Roll Eyes


Ummm.. yeah.. That makes absolute sense...
reading comprehension is a must.
The statement "I plan on investing a lot but I have decided I will keep my growth at home going because it's just fun and keep my neighbors wondering and asking what all that noise is from garage."
I live in a neighborhood like most people.... I have 3 car garage one  closed off , It's where my home miners will always be.
If you think at any residence you could power one of those systems much less house it you are crazy, they require 1.5 megawatts of power and are large and have a separate 10sf power hook up.
These systems require main trunk lines and near main lines I.E. warehouse. Those systems are for business and my home ones for fun.
Why is it so many people try to act like they know everyone others worlds, lives? This is why I usually don't post much and lesson learned/done.


do you realize the fans they need to cool the gear down?  1.5 megawatts of power = 6,000,000 btus

the liquid part of the cooling moves the 6,000,000 btus off the chips and into a radiator system with jet turbine fans.  Good luck cooling it  and finding a place that will allow you to dump 6,000,000 btus of heat into the  environment int such a small area (ie 8 by 40 foot container truck)  with ½ dozen jet fans to get the heat away from the container.

my furnace uses 90,000 kwatts and a 1300 cfm fan  so 66.6 x 90,000 = about 6 million btus

and 66.6 x 1300 = 87,000 cfm  so you are looking at some loud powerful fans .


id actually be interested to see one of those container units in person. I know they are drawn out on their site but seeing one live would be neat. You could probably hear the power being sent into the unit, maybe if the massive cooling system doesn't make you deaf.

I think those crates are meant to be standalone units outside. not sure how you would secure the area though so people don't try and steal the copper/metal.


I guess we need to encourage more chicken eating today. the blocks are starting to fade from green.

ya. which now causes me to think they are going to release something soon. get one last push in before they announce the new stock.
167  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: March 26, 2016, 02:54:52 PM
my question is why the sudden surge of coupons. seems a bit fishy that they suddenly care about their customers and want to offer them a large discount. Are these units actually new stock or stock that "tested" and is being pulled off their farms so new faster/better stock can go in. Really no way to tell if a unit is "used" or "new" if it has been cleaned/maintained well.
168  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th on: March 26, 2016, 02:48:24 PM
I also received a message that there will be $115 coupons distributed on 4/1/16 if you bought S7's during a certain period or to be used instead of S5 redemption on Hashnest. This would make the gap even bigger.

Gonna be a struggle for me to choose, because on one hand I really dislike Bitmain, but that price is hard to beat.

and there is the problem that I think most of us are facing. we don't really want to support bitmain but they make it hard to buy anything else as they price the competition out of the market.

My question is why the sudden generosity from bitmain. They have always been stingy in the past with discounts unless you buy in the pallet load. are the ones their are currently selling from their farms and they are trying to use these coupons to move them faster?

I hate myself for it but I know ill get another s7 as that price cant be beat but Ill still look around for an single Avalon. I know holy has some.

wow -- first time I have seen a 3 way blower before -- this is gives me a few ideas for cooling project - thanks!


that was actually the initial reason I bought it for was to buy those orange attachments (at rear of miners) for the front of the unit and blow cooler air at them from a part of the basement that wasn't so hot.

but with temps in the mid 80s down there. they turned into exhaust attachments and an exhaust nozzle attachment to move some of the heat outside.

still in the design process for the whole area. been thinking of putting the 4in exhaust pipes into some kind of reducer to attach them to an inline fan that pumps all the heat outside.

Edit2: oh, heh I was looking at the previous %, yep indeed sercinsabri is now lowest Smiley

wow talk about a late entry into the contest to snatch the lowest cdf spot. question is can he now hold that till the end?


personally I hope not cus that will mean more/fast blocks for us.  Shocked  ..lol
171  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th on: March 26, 2016, 03:19:16 AM
check with ken/yan see if they can match. who knows they might match you have certainly helped sell plenty of miners for them that may not have ever been bought.
172  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th on: March 26, 2016, 02:47:38 AM
wow.. strategic timing I must say on their part.

let us know what the plan is or if the Avalon group buy turns into an s7 group buy.

Maybe run it by ken/yan see if they can in anyway match even if its only for this group buy. would rather give them my btc then those other people.

plus avalons seem to be block busters for kano. lol


what is the lead time on the current available units from bitmain? weeks? or same day like Avalon?

Nob questions.
I started mining at Kano yesterday. After more than 12 hours the block% (0.021%) is still the same. Is this normal?

Will my rewards go directly to my wallet once the block is completed?

the block % for your worker? that just shows you what % of a block that miner is doing ie an s5 is .004% a s7 is .015%.

your payouts will happen after the block gets to 101 confirms that's when it reaches the "matured" state on the block page. make sure your btc address is set up or payments cant happen.  Smiley

Check the Rewards and Payouts to see what you get paid on maturity. The rewards will show you more stats ie %, average hash, N diff and N avg, the payout shows your btc address and what you got paid.
174  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th on: March 26, 2016, 01:15:08 AM
I want to buy one but I am kind of screwed being that I am stuck out of town for my job and do not have access to my coins at the moment. I am currently in Indiana so I can't drop off cash. Any ideas how to get coins quickly?

There are a couple sites you could buy btc from. Or if you have someone at home have them install teamviewer on the machine and install it on your machine/phone with you. Easy way to remote in quickly and then uninstall when done.
175  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th on: March 26, 2016, 01:13:08 AM
these come with

1 rasp pi  with programmed  sdcard
1 wall wart
2 usb cords
1 four pin wire
1 small adapter between usb and four pin wire

Wow, I did not realize this. I already have a Pi with one A6 running, so I really only need the A6, four pin wire, usb/four pin adapter.
Any discount for not needing the Pi, wall wart, and usb cables? If not no problem, I can always find a use for another Pi.

Might be good to have incase you want to gave the miners on different pools.  Like one on solo ck the other on kano.
176  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th on: March 25, 2016, 11:12:47 PM
so this being my first group buy using btc. how does the payment part work? come Monday you say pay me X btc and then we send that? used to paying in $ so sending/paying money early didn't matter.

cant we all just get along.. and eat chicken
178  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: life usage of antminer s1? on: March 25, 2016, 07:47:59 PM
I am still using 4x AntMiner S1 that are now under-volted. They each pull about 1.35A at the wall with a Gold rated PSU. I get roughly 130GH/s at this power usage, so not quite 1 W/GH, but close to it.

In any event, I would definitely keep your S1 units around even if you decide to turn them off. There is a community project going found at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1368507.0 led by some experienced folks, namely sidehack and a few others. They are working on replacement boards for the S1 chassis based on the upcoming 16nm BitFury chips.

i actually just picked up 5 that a guy was selling on fleabay. gotta make sure i have enough to retro when the new chips come out.
179  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: Latest Avalon6 group buy thread. 600 usd Ends Monday 28th on: March 25, 2016, 06:14:10 PM
There a difference between the fans other than noise?


Probably should have asked earlier but this buy includes all the stuff from the last group buy correct? pi/cables..etc

Thanks Champs.. Made it with BTC a dress, but will change. I need to see stats before rolling out on 113 miners… 😨

Another thing that throws new Kano CKPool miners off is the concept of 5Nd and shifts.  There is a ramp up period which takes about 1-2 days before your payouts are at maximum.  There's a bit of an explanation here on the Help/Payouts page...

https://www.kano.is/index.php?k=payout

Edit:  Here are a couple of more resources that can also be beneficial to monitoring your gear...a couple of kano miners have developed tools on their own (tips go a long way!)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1344360.0
Thanks again. Helping getting an overview. Lets see how it goes. The kano.de has OK ping times, but could improve a little.

did you try pinging the rest of the nodes? perhaps one of the primaries has a bit better ping rate.
