your wallet is a secure "program" that lives on your computer. Depending on the type of wallet you get it might have to sync with the network to download all the transactions to validate that they are indeed real. when you mine on a pool you set your btc address in that pool and the pool owner sends you your earned coins to that address. Think of it like your bank account number that people can send money (btc) to.

more bang for the buck on mining at home. unless you have crazy expensive power costs. If you want to get into it now you can buy/sell btc with $$ until you can buy a miner yourself.

Any hardware bought/talked about now will be next to useless after the halving unless nothing new comes out. if you can afford to start now an antminer s7 would be your best bang for buck. You could also pick up some usb gekko sticks to play around with if you want to dip a toe into the btc pool to experiment with.

this would only have to be enforced for like 1 day and those pools would take such a hit they would change their ways.

the times we find blocks with almost a full btc in tx fees are great blocks to find. i know kano has hit a few with over 1 btc of fees.

are you able to relocate the miners to anywhere else in the house? or can you use an extension cord to reach another outlet/breaker.

i know the s3 can use a wireless mod perhaps you could mod them and relocate to different rooms so they can all run full power in order to get the most btc out of them before they start producing dust payments.

i think the fact that at the start of the universe of bitcoin there were no transactions therefore they couldnt hardcode a min amount to start with. But hopefully as the blockchain progresses the devs will see that empty blocks are a disease that will kill btc if left unchecked and they will modify the code to force a block to have transactions to be considered valid.

if they implemented this i think we would see a large change in the hash distribution as the large china pools would suddenly become outdated and not producing blocks.

or just buy bitcoin from ebay. that way when you are charged the charge shows as the person.

ive bought several btc this way and if you work with the seller you can get it for market price or a few $ more to cover tx fees.

nice size heat sink. what volt/freq are you running them at to need such a heatsink?


Wonder how the heat dissipation will be for the middle one. are they lotto machines or part of a pool?

generally it is lazy coders. The lazyness results in empty blocks because it is easier to code as well as "faster".

when the code is poorly written it takes time to fill the blocks. this time is minute when looked at individually but when you look at that time overall it stacks up.

i would try resetting the machine back to stock.

perhaps doing a flash upgrade as well.


might want to change the static ip of the machine as well. seems like someone has been able to get into your network.

might need to reset your router admin password to something new/tougher.
depending on the software i always try and max out the allowable char just to make it harder/longer to crack.



check any/all computers that are connected to the network they may have been compromised and thus allowing someone to tunnel in and which your settings.

this is the thread for kano.is pool. the ckpool you mention is here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.0) which is a solo pool. meaning you will only get paid if you find a block.

where as here on kano.is you will get a portion of each block found.


and No there is no min transaction as you have seen in antpool they mine a lot of empty blocks. on Kano all blocks are stuffed full with transactions and those transactions are paid out to the miners.

id love to quit my day job and go full btc. Only problem is bills, bills, and more bills.

If i had a farm that was 1PH+ then maybe since that would earn enough btc in a day to cover expenses but right now the few miners i have i need a normal job to pay for the miners and the power to run them and all the other bills.

i am a database administrator so maybe one day ill find a job working with btc in some form.

sounds like this is the new Saudi prince wants to send you a million just needs your bank account # scam of the bitcoin world.

id have a few choice words for them.

anyway to report their address for scamming?

ya. thats not right.

have you tried doing a power cycle/hard reboot. Or resetting back to stock?

resetting to stock with the button on the front next to the ethernet jack might be your best best.

did you buy it used recently? perhaps the previous owner had customer software on it?

what kind of security do you have on your network? is your wifi open?

First time ive heard of someone leaving/not mining on a pool cus they are getting paid timely. normally its the other way around people leave because they arent being paid.


what kind of wallet are you using that gets "trashy" when you get more then 1 payment? im using core and it seems "neat" to me. total on the left, inputs/withdraws on the right.

Not to mention that the hasn't identified which address was his and what he was mining with. but the payout totals seem rather funny.

Almost 30 coins 1 pay and 14 coins the next? how many blocks is this payment from.

is the 30 from 2 blocks found and 14 from 1? if so where are the other 10ish coins going.

check page 1 second post kano keeps its updated there for high/low


so the diff goes down and our blocks stop. we need more..

you wont see what you could get paid but your average is shown by the redline.

did you even bother reading the post. I didn't say you were the imposter I said someone is posing as you. try reading next time before you make foolish comments.

like wolves to an injured goat. its funny to see the reactions from people based just on current hash rate. Perhaps its rental power for the day.

times running out to get more for today. gotta pack in those last blocks. hopefully the diff change will be down.

Looks like there is an imposter trying to scam people from this thread.

If anybody gets a PM from bubbu22 careful.

 Notice the second B. claiming to be using ognasty escrow as well.

i think the price per btc is helping.

make a couple bucks in a pool today.. or try solo and make 10k
