I'll vouch for him, he's fairly prolific on the boards with software hacks of official firmwares. I've not heard of any problems with him.
I've got a couple of T17e's but they are remote so no access to third parties unfortunately.
The last firmware he released had no dev fee but you had to pay to get it.

Phil, no luck is everything.
Luck is luck, you can't do anything about it, its just luck. Only gamblers think they have any control over luck.
So when you say "whether it was all simple luck or not does not really matter." that is a misleading statement. Maybe that is what you believe is true, but its not true.
It's not "simple luck or not" there is no "or not" its just simple luck, period.
As kano says all pools, everything being equal will even out to 100% luck all the time, the only thing that will reduce that number and how it relates to payouts to miners are what has been listed:
1. Orphans
2. Stales
3. Fees
You can try and minimise them by building your pool to have excellent performance, uptime, redundancy and connectivity, but you can't remove them altogether.

Phil, all of that, sarcasm and mockery is beneath you. You know as well as anyone that luck is luck, nothing can change it, we should not expect to get better than 100% luck over the long term, and the longer the term the closer to 100% the needle swings. As far as I can tell he's not angry with any of you, his modus operandi is to try and educate people to do things the right way, and highlight things that are just plain wrong or illogical. If you don't listen and try to bluff you way through the science or just post plain wrong information then he will correct it, if you continue to do it then he'll correct it stronger. He's not the only person who does this. In the past, just about every pool that has come up and then fallen by the wayside because it was badly managed or conceived or just a complete scam has been called out and held to account by kano, and earlier on in the day by ck as well. Which tells me his main concern is to educate, both the pool operators and the miners. Most of the time in those instances he is battling against the tide of perceived wisdom, because "who cares if its a scam as long as I'm getting 10% bonus while I mine there" etc. Your analysis of the luck of the pool is erroneous, you know it, I don't know why you bang on about it other than because you feel slighted in someway, or just because you don't understand it. Who knows. Let it go. Just my tuppence worth. As far as laurentia goes good luck (sic) to you, I think your crazy trying to run it all on one pool and I don't agree with any of the science in your whitepaper, but I'm just a miner not a pool operator and I hope you prove me wrong. For now I'll keep on doing what I'm doing luck has been great last few blocks at kano, but I run half my hash half the time on a PPS pool to help pay the bills. I'm probably not doing it right, but it feels right. That's my take on things, hopefully I've been pretty even handed about it, I've tried to stay out of it but felt I needed to say my peice, I've no problem with any of you, and you've all been pretty decent to me most of the time. So there you go |

You are not embarrassed to post such an abysmal offer? This is what can be characterized as a " Guaranteed loser". That sale price, non-hosted... at .04 cents per kwh is a 2 year ROI. Add in your horrible metric, and this pays back......never. I don't understand why people tolerate the insidious nature of these "COLO's". People need to be made aware of this parasitic business model. These businesses contribute nothing more than destructive facets to the space.
not to mention this price is close to 700 over what Bitmain charged for the same unit. To be fair, the price on Bitmain's site was is $1,785 for September, but $1868.00 for August batch. Then add delivery, plus taxes and any bonds and they could easily cost you about $2430 or more to your door (in the US) Yes you could wait till the next batch comes out from bitmain and they will probably be cheaper, but getting them into the US won't be much cheaper. And compared to many resellers who are charging £2.7K plus shipping for ready stock, its not that bad of a deal. Everyone has to do their own calculations, selling old gear that has already ROI'ed to fund these can also be a way of reducing time it takes to recoup the cost of theses. As always, YMMV |

You can lock it yourself mate  |

They don't ship, you have to host it with them.

That is a very neat job mate. Takes a lot of skill and guts to put something together of that size, and at home. Lucky you have good power costs. What sort of temps are you getting on the miners, any problems with them stopping during heat spikes? |

Yes!  Sorry so busy on discord just remembered about here.  os2sam thanks for doing your civic duty! And thanks to minergain for finding his first block! |

Sounds like you are right @MoparMiningLLC judging by his thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262230.msg54816859#msg54816859He's just pulling data out of his Bitcoin Core node (which is the official name according to bitcoin.org, well its on the website when you go to download the wallet) Then he has written a Telegram bot to display the info which, whether it is useful or not, looks like this: Bitcoin Node stats:

There doesn't seem to be any ulterior motive for his choice of wording as far as I can tell. |

I never mined here, but I'm sorry to see you go.

Looking more like an increase  |

If you mined at kano.is it would show on the pools web site when you found a block. It shows on the blocks stats page and it show show many blocks you have found over time on the acclaim page.
Ckpool used to announce block finders, but I'm not sure if any record was kept on the web site.
Slush used to show when you did but not anymore since they switched to the new interface.
I guess any pool could log that information, but not many do these days.

Isn't this more of a cgminer (software) feature rather than the miner (hardware)? Its nice they provide their own tool, but so could anyone else who could do api rpc ssh commands.
Its not like its a special MicroBT feature (Microbt is the actual manufacturer name, whatsminer is a mere brand akin to antminer).
Or did they also release a tool confusingly called whatsminer too? So not only we have resellers using the brand but tools too?
The M in the model should give you a reminder that you are using MicroBT gear, that happens to be branded whatsminer just like Bitmain brands theirs antminer for whatever reason, while antminer is also a pool, because confusing must be good for profit, or some such...
Yes they've had a tool out for ages called WhatsminerTool, its up to version 3.4.6 now I guess MicroBT feel they can call it Whatsminer because thats the name they call their hardware devices, just like Bitmain call their hardware devices Antminer. Yes both Innosilicon and Bitmain have similar tools for their devices. Its cgminer API calls but I think they also do web calls to the device as well. |

Yup been using it for a while, also use the InnoMonitor_64 for the inno's (doh) and I seem to get on best with BTCTools for the bitmain kit (made by BTC.com)

This is the bitcoin part of the forum, those are definitely GPU rigs which don't mine bitcoin so this post, its picture and any replies (including mine) are off topic for this area of the forum.

M20/21 is probably more equivalent to bitmains 17 range.
M30/M31 is equivalent to bitmains newer 19 range, as both have only been out recently.
Just in case you were looking to compare like for like.
