canaan   1,424.56THs, seems they have dropped significant Hash Rate. I wonder why? Also, I am about growing my farm with Avalons, does anyone have specs on the new A8 that is rumored to come out in January. Looking to add another ~150 TH/s to max out my available power. Any info regarding the A8 would be appreciated. THX Mine On!!

Yikes

Rubbing Lucky Rabbits foot, just sacrificed a piece of Lasagna and a Diet Coke for a Block!! Come on Luck, Lets Do This and Get 'r Done! We want variance to go our way!! Mine On. 

I ordered 4 S9 14TH from Bitmain. All of them had the nomenclature showing 14th/s however one has never, ever, ever hashed above 13.7TH/s. The other 3 are within specs. Of note, the configuration in the one that does not hash to the advertised TH/s is the hottest running machine and the Freq for each hashing board are lower than the 14th/s ones. Hope this helps.

How do I use this. Where do I insert that into my S9 SW interface? Your help is much appreciated. Mine On!!

Nevermind!! I asked a stupid question. Not willing to lose 3 hours of mining to play with Freq.

Dancing already with my 4 Leaf Clover and my Lucky Rabbits foot. Variance is variance and LUCK IS LUCK!! This mining stuff has brought a brand new meaning to the term, getting lucky!! LOL  Mine On!!

Anyone who is foolish enough to Short Bitcoin on a Futures Contract, doesn't understand Bitcoin and they will be parting from their money. It is a fools bet. With the 3% worldwide adoption phase set to go into effect in 2018, they are going to get slaughtered. I believe the term "I pity the fool" applies.

I am 14-15ms to NYA, the European Servers that are across the Atlantic from me are considerably slower but considerably faster than all the other worldwide servers from my location. So I set my 2 and 3 failovers to the Netherlands and Germany servers. Hope this helps. The faster, the better IMHO.

Agreed, Kano Pool shares the fees, it has a 5ND system to keep it honest and stop pool hoppers from jumping in when you reach 100% of Difficulty to get a "reward" off of other peoples hashrate. It has 0 fees until 2018 AND on top of it all, it confirms its own blocks so save in fees into the network. I am a newbie, but I did my homework before I ever pointed a machine at this pool and I could not find a better pool to contribute to. KANO POOL is by far the best Bitcoin Mining Pool available. bar none. So, do the Block Dance, rub your lucky rabbits foot and MINE ON!!! Nobody is cheating anybody here, quite to the contrary, it is the most ethical pool and fairly run that I could find.

OK, about 36 hours of hashing and 2 Blocks. Life is good on Kano Pool, I will continue to rub my lucky rabbits foot. Mine On!!

Relax, you will get your BTC. The pool is run very efficiently. When we find another block the pool will confirm it with no fees attached, meaning we save that amount of BTC every time. Look at as a bonus PLUS when you ramp up to 5ND, you will be rewards go up based upon your hashrate provided to the pool across the entire ramp up period. This is done to stop pool hoppers taking advantage of those who keep hashing consistently in the pool. All is good, push the trust button, this is the BEST pool available.

Just over 1 day since joining the pool and BOOM!! A nice FAT Block. Mine On!! I am rubbing my Lucky Rabbits foot!!

Kano,
Not using TOR. Firefox Browser, that may be the problem, but honestly not worried about it. It definitely is not on your end. I was just concerned, but you are correct, if network latency was bad the entire pool would be blowing up with stales, lost blocks and orphans. 
I understand network latency and timing. Been in the technology game for a long time. I made sure I had sufficient bandwith and overhead to get the work done and back as  quickly as possible. Pointed all 4 to NYA with a ping <14ms from my location. Straight fiber all the way to New York.... they say in life, timing is everything. In mining, I think it definitely improves the odds if you have a minimal ping to get and return the work.
I hope I find a block right away, I won't get anything paid out to me for it since I have only been up for about 8 hours but it would set the tone for many more in the future as I build out my farm. Press On and ........................... Mine On!! Thanks for a great pool. 

I will push the I believe button. All that matters is that the 4 S9's that I just added to the pool are given the work they need to help find a Block for the pool!! Not a lot but I am in the Pool, swimming around happy as a Scallop, just added 56TH to the clan of happy miners!! Let Roll. 

On the Kano Pool Website I show the pool working on 498188 at 29 minutes. That block was found by BTCC a few minutes ago and already has a confirmation. It is NOT my connection to the Internet. Kano can you please look into this?

Adding Hashrate to the pool helps everyone involved. The pool reaches difficulty faster which hypothetically means blocks are found faster. Variance (luck) does play a role. Adding hashrate is a win win for everybody. I am adding 4 S9's at 14 TH/s tomorrow. 5nd will happen for me, not worried about when, I just know that I have to pay a little in power and time up front to keep the pool fair. No pool hoppers here which means fair payouts for those who are committed to the pool. Right now at ~98% of difficulty if this was not a 5nd type pool, the pool would see a huge increase in Hashrate then as soon as the pool found a block, they would leave and go to another pool to try and get a payout there. Mine On, you are in the best pool that mines Bitcoin. Push the I believe button and keep adding hashrate!! Everybody wins with BTC @ $17,165, those are BIG wins and this pool consistently finds blocks. Have faith, with a little luck and some patience you can build yourself a very nice tidy sum mining here. 
 

Current shares toward difficulty is 1,111,874,747,839 (69.89%). It takes time and luck. MINE ON!!! How about a 14K BTC price, when the pool hits a block and it will, THAT is a nice chunk of change!!

I have 4 S9's on the way, last update is they left Anchorage Alaska 6 hours ago. I have tried to ask all the same questions or answer them for myself doing some homework. Also that 1KANO BTC address is just an example, don't mine to it, if you do, if it an actual BTC address, Kano will send the rewards to that address. LOL Anyway, I am a Newbie just like you. Mine On!! Oh, and HOW ABOUT A BLOCK FOR THE GOOD MINERS ON THIS POOL!!!!! I just sacrificed a Philly Steak Sammich, some fries and a Diet Coke for one!!

This is a Bitcoin only pool.
