Sorry about this.  I have not taken the time to dig into this but I am pretty sure that it is sending extra alerts after several days.  I could be wrong but I am pretty sure I received one right away and then other repeat ones later on.  I am kindof swamped with paying work this week but I will check into it next week.

Glad the minergain.com info worked for you.  It is hard to know the best ways to utilize all the stats minergain.com continues to gather.  Sorry again that your power company is being so nasty...  Have a great weekend and hopefully we get 2 more blocks this weekend so you keep a little more of your ramp down earnings...

Every one of us started out with virtually no knowledge, so I disagree with this statement.  You are asking questions and the Kano pool people are great and mostly patient.  I think with all the latest drop in hash and prices, we are all very "on edge" trying to figure out what to do next.  So the biggest thing right now is that there are very few people making money.  If you can get $36 per month cost per S9, you will be one of the few making money.  I know I am paying about 1/2 more for power than if I bought BTC outright.  I am mining because it helps the keep the future of BTC going (thus protecting all my previous mining and purchases).  I also believe there is a strong future in crypto so I am treating it very much like gambling (with better odds - I hope).  

You really need to figure out your motivations for mining.  If you want a steady income stream, then Kano is probably not the place to be - especially at our current 45Ph.  But if you can cover your power costs without any blocks in a month (which we will probably see several each month but there is a chance for none) , there is a lot of upside potential not available with the big pools.  We have had some pretty crappy luck for the past 2 months and we have some very lucky months.  All pools run into this, however the big guys will pay you TINY amounts per block found very frequently - so it all evens out quicker due to the volume (often termed variance).  We may have no blocks for a week or more but get paid well for each one found.  And since finding a block is totally random, we can find 3 blocks in a day too with the same big payment for each - thus a lot more return for our investment.

I hope this helps a little.  Every one of us are going through the turmoil of decisions like yours.  You need to figure out your risk tolerance and make decisions from there.  Best of luck with those decisions and I know I will Mine On with Kano!

I suspected the language was the case (plus I mess up words all the time) - which was why I felt everyone should just let it slide (and I probably should have skipped the post too).  I totally agree there is lots of upside here.  I also get that it is hard in these times to invest a couple thousand worth of power cable when his house probably has a 200 amp panel with only have a hundred or so amps to spare.  Other than an apology if I overstepped, all I can say is Mine On to those who can!

Lets not let the stresses of the BTC market get to us folks.  Although "technically" correct, I suspect a lot of us small miners think of an extension cord as the typical 14 guage 25 footer...  I think when you are into multiple zeros for your wire gauge, it is a bit more planning than stringing holiday lights...

And as the 5nd drops day by day, our reward per block just keeps going up.  we are going to be rolling in the rewards when our luck turns green!  I too will be here to collect like the other die hard Kano fans!

Which firmware are you using? I've been tweaking mine too but only about 14.5.

If you had been ramped up, the last block would have been around 0.0008732.  If you want to see what you would have made with your miners, you can plug in your hash rates at https://minergain.com/?btcstats.  I am not sure if minergain is tracking your current pool.  Be aware that I have a bug where the slush blocks are not always subtracting the 2% pool fees but kano always is removing the .9%. The pool fees being subtracted from the block is deep in my monitoring code so a little tricky to find.

So for Kano, a single S9 would have received around 0.0199557, 0.0141996 for slush and 0.0150200 for viabtc.  After removing some additional fees for slush due to my bug (and viabtc is new, so maybe there too), this month definitely was higher.  Obviously the small pool allows us to be much higher and much lower in a month.  Fortunately we are nowhere near as small as we were 6 months ago where we were about 1/4 the size (and really big payouts).

That is terrible!  Was there any sort of contract signed (or maybe an online description that may still be there - or you may have saved)?  I would also be looking for any documentation that proves you own which serial numbers.  Obviously the landlord wants to get their past due rent however they can, so yes, it will be a very difficult process.  How many miners do you have in "limbo" there?

I took a peek at their site which is still up, and they have not even posted that there are issues.  Makes a person wonder...

I had not thought about the power supplies!  I guess there is always a hair dryer to kick start them if there are troubles!  Thanks much!

I am curious if anyone knows what the minimum temperature should be during the winter to keep S9 miners working well?  Is 40F too low?  I ran two last winter at 50F and they seemed to run ok...

So the S9's dropped again to $499 with PSU.  Hard to know what to make of it all!

You can also do the same thing with a free account at minergain.com.  The nice part is that you just set a percentage threshold and the system looks at all of your miners automatically - even if there are dead hash boards, different brands, etc.  Zach's seems to need to be set as an actual threshold for every miner and works well if you want specific control per miner.  

I do like that almost anything can be discussed there...  The one down side is getting behind quickly.  This morning I saw about 250 unread discord messages...  Still have not caught up with that and probably will just scroll through them quickly instead...  I wish it could auto prioritize based on words....  Mine on!

I have a free $100 one that expires at the end of the month.  PM me with your bm info and I'll transfer it.

pretty close to what is on your phone now.  Amazing how technology changes!

I've heard there are issues with it eating plastic away.  I worked at Cray Research years ago and we liquid cooled the Cray 3 with Fluorinert (not sure of the spelling).  It was inert to just about everything and supposedly you could even drink it - not that any of us technicians tried it.  It also would not release a chemical cloud if a chip did burn up which I guess also can be a concern if anywhere near your living area.  I have not seen anything specifically about using that chemical, but obviously some pretty high ups did a lot of research years ago.  There are probably lots of other options too now since that was almost 20 years ago - but I see it is still available, so it must still be a viable product.

Thanks much.  Its easy once you sign up for the free account.  Just set your text message "email address"  (phonenumber@vtext.com for example) in the preferences and then select the pool and set how frequently you want the notification via email / text for it.  

but minergain sent the alert!  Yeah for a cryptostar double block day!
Also, the Kano / Slush stats are certainly favoring Kano for the week / month / quarter.

I just put in a pair of ubiquti airmax powerbeam-ac (https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/powerbeam-ac-gen2/) between my house and a shed.  It is rated for 24km of distance, so my 300 meters is nothing for it.  ping times are pretty much the same in the shed as in my house.  Something to consider if you have $120 to spend per dish.
